Portable App Development

Okay... I'm running into a problem with Eclipse Portable and I've thought for days about work-arounds but came up with none.

This is what happens...

Eclipse Portable launches with RunLocally function.
App is copied to System.
App is launched.

Now here's where the problem starts...

if the user changes workspace... at the current moment, eclipse.exe will close and start-up again, but the problem is that EclipsePortable.exe DELETE'S THE APP DIR!!!

Often I install apps at the public library and my time runs out in the middle of installation, so I take out my drive in the middle of installing the app and then Windows freaks out and tells me that it can't find the drive. No matter how many times I exit out of that message, it pops up again. And it won't let the computer shut down for like five minutes. Could the future installers include an exit/cancel button or is that just how NSIS is made to work?

i have created a install of vb express 2008 so it will be portable. It works except for the fact that it tells me that custstat.dll is missing. But that is in one of the folders that it contains please tell me how to fix it thx. Oh and please tell me how to put it on this site through this post. so you can see for your self. thx.

okay i have made a few launchers for some games and im having a issue with the splash screen not showing up can someone take a look at them for me?

Heres the forum post for one of them: https://portableapps.com/node/20578

also can someone tell me how i can turn my launchers into paf live launchers so the files get downloaded automatically for people?

you can check the OpenSonicPortable.nsi file in the opensonic launcher and stuff if you need to look at the coding of the .nsi file

How do tell how many people downloaded a app? i want to be able to tell howmany people download my app but i dont know how many.

I was just wondering if a Vertual DJ App will be made because I mix music and use that software but I can only use it on my home pc and would love to use it on the go. That way I can mix tracks when ever and where ever.

How to create portable applications lunchers?

Hello. I use the portable apps at work, so the documents i have into the drive are confidential.

I have seen that the backup aplication uses 7zip to compress the backup folder. 7zip has an option to encrypt the compressed file by a password. The bakcup application could be inproved by giving the option to encrypt the backup file.

Hello. I use portable apps at work and it could be interesting for me to be able to change the music, video and pictures folders for the folders I really use.

For the time I use them to save files of my work, not music, nor videos, nor pictures.

I am looking to run a batch script when portable apps is started to set some environment variable to add some of my command line programs to the path. What is the best way to do this, I was thinking of making the script start PA after it has set the path is this ok? or is there something else?
