Portable App Development

Can an auto update feature be built into PortableApps?

Check current installed app(s) - compare installed version number - check for new version number - suggest update of xyz app(s).

Hi Everyone,

I use Wireshark on my Work but I use it a lot on different machines to trouble shoot network devices and connections. Is it possible to make Wireshark Portable?

There should be a password in order to load PortableApps.

Every time i try to compile the menu, i get a weird error:

Output: "H:\portableapps\PortableApps\SWEAW_Portable_0.3.paf.exe"
Internal compiler error #12345: deflateInit() failed(initialization failed [-2]).
Error - aborting creation process


When i change the default installer to Best Compressor, i get this as well:
Note: you may have one or two (large) stale temporary file(s)
left in your temporary directory (Generally this only happens on Windows 9x).

When I install the Java SDK on my stick and then NetBeans 7 on my stick (editing the config-file so that it uses the Java from my stick) everything works fine.

But then it still uses the .netbeans-folder on my computer for all my settings. And when I edit it in the config-file so that it uses some folder on my stick then the program suddenly won't launch anymore. When I start the program I see the process appear in the task-manager and some seconds later it disappears again, without error.
Why?

To be clear, this is about the netbeans_default_userdir var in the netbeans.conf file.

I wanted to update just my Installer of IcoFX Portable on the topical version 0.12.4. Agree, however, with compile the always following error message:
Error while applying NLF font/RTL: Unicode conversion failed
Error - aborting creation process

Has selected only the languages which stand also with IcoFX at possession.

Sorry for my bad english, I used a translation program

Aside from these variables $PROGRAMFILES, $APPDATA, $LOCALAPPDATA...etc, Can someone tell me what variables to point to Root Drive (C:) and "All Users" (C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\).

Thank you!

Hi,

may sound little stupid but i dont know how to make the launcher.

I set up everything like here
https://portableapps.com/node/12851

and I can make a nice .paf.exe file with NSIS and the profile from John with the working exe in the /App/Ekiga/Ekiga.exe

but i dont have a Launcher that opens recursivly ./App/Ekiga/Ekiga.exe

how can I make one with the icon?

I didnt find here....

I would like to see a button or link on the portable apps menu were you can click and it will take you to the download more more software page kind of like U3 has.

A while ago i created some custom launcher for a project of mine. This always worked well but when I tried launching it in menu 1.5.2 it doesn't start anymore. Starting the exe from the folder does work. Is there some known compatibility problem with non-official launchers?

(Its an launcher that starts a app in a truecrypt container)
