Olá, galera existe uma enorme variedades de softwares portáteis na internet, pois bem gostaria de passar o nome de algum deles que poderiam ser embalados por PortableApps, daí a questão porque não embalam eles:

HeidiSQL5.1Portable;
FluffyApp0.8.3;
PhotoScapePortable;
QuickSys RegDefrag 2.9;
Recuva Portable 1.38.504;
Revo Uninstaller Portable 1.89;
USB Webserver 8;

Alguns programas.
Poderiam simplesmente estar entrando em contato com os desenvolvedores e fazer acordo para embalar!! O que acham??

Laucher.ini, [FileWriteN] and a moving data directory

Submitted by Ambimind on October 20, 2010 - 10:31pm

Hello everyone.

I've recently started working with the "PortableApps.com Launcher 2.0".

I have an issue I can't get around:

Briefly :

I need a way of accounting for a changing data directory location, that cannot be accounted for using environment variables(of windows or the launcher's internal vars). I could solve the problem if [FileWriteN] allowed for wild-cards(*,?) - or it was possible to define custom variables.

----
The launcher .ini file:

[Launch]
ProgramExecutable=InstantInvoiceCashBook\InstantInvoiceCashBook.exe

[FileWrite1]
Type=replace

After Selecting the changes to add in ur portable app Launcher,the app is still in its default settings!!!

After carefully followin the "guerilla guide" posted by oliver specifically the registry changes section, i created a launcher for orbit downloader.. Now when run the launcher it goes back to the default settings..I created almost 26 keys under [RegistryValue] specifically for HKCU.. The app stores some .xml & .dat files in %APPDATA% folder..

Update reports success, although it didn't succeed

I'm using 2.0 beta 5 pre 2.

I was updating Apps, but the firewall blocked the download of additional parts (Skype, ...)

The update didn't succeed for these Apps, but at the end the message said it was successful.

Later on the Update functionality showed no need for updates although Skype was not usable any more.
