Portable App Development

How can I do this? I have looked over the forums and haven't found solutions that work. I don't really know what I should post. I have come no closer to finding a solution by myself... So I am turning towards you guys.
Thanks,
Brian

I'm working on making FoFiX portable. For those that don't know, it's a massively more developed version of Frets on Fire, which is itself a Guitar Hero/Rock Band clone. I should be done by the end of this weekend.

Here is the first Development Version of FoFiX portable. http://www.sourceforge.com/projects/bassfz.u/files/FoFiXPortable_3.121_R...

I've tried my hand at developing full-fledged apps, with mixed success; I started DeskSkin, but stopped developing it because I found a far superior solution in my mind (Toolbox), and for Hugin Portable, I'm struggling with the PAL while waiting for a Windows build of their latest rev.
In the meantime, I've worked out some small tricks that I use to enhance the Platform, based on the extremely flexible ini approach of the PortableApps Format. I'm calling them MiniApps.

I've having issues getting a launcher for Dropbox to work properly. For some reason there are 3 dll files that become locked and will not allow the drive to be ejected. These dll files also make deleting the Dropbox folder in %APPDATA% impossible. Can someone take a look at this and help me out. I looked through the manual but I was unable to find information regarding this. I'm kind of a novice so it's probably something simple that I just don't know how to do yet. Any help would be appreciated.

When are file associations going to be available?
And protocol associations (celestia uses celurl's which have the form: cel:\\* )?

I'm asking this because there is nothing mentioned about it in the portableapps format specification:

Hi all,

I am trying to make HLSW portable but have some troubles with it: the hlsw.exe creates registry entries by itself I cannot delete via the Portable Apps Launcher. That's with Windows XP SP3 and HLSW version 1.3.3.7b. My launcher.ini is as follows:

[Launch]
ProgramExecutable=HLSW\hlsw.exe
;CommandLineArguments='"-PATH:%PAL:AppDir%\HLSW\"' '"-INSTDIR:."' '"-DATADIR:..\..\Data\userfiles\appdata\HLSW"' '"-URL:%1"'
WorkingDirectory=%PAL:AppDir%\HLSW
SinglePortableAppInstance=true

[Activate]
Registry=true

Hello,

If you could add HTML 5 to Thunderbird's RSS feed section I would
greatly appreciate it. This would allow full length RSS feeds to be seen
in Tbird with all the graphics, etc. without switching to the RSS website
to view the whole feed article. Most RSS feeds I receive are several or more
paragraphs with some pictures, depending on the feed. Presently Tbird only
shows a short text of the RSS feed rec'd.

Would make a great program even better.

thanks,

Guys again I'm here for some help.

I'm wondering how to make my installer get the volume serial number and store it in a .INI file. Then the launcher gets the drives serial number and compare it to the serial number that the installer stored in the .INI file.

How would you make the launcher compare two serial number or what is that command that would compare two serial number?

Please help me with this riddle. I'd really wanted

to know.
