Portable App Development

Everyone knows our suites contain multiple applications that can be a pain in the rear to constantly keep updating and people wine when it's not done. Now I know a few people have gotten around the whole not being aloud to distribute apps in there launchers so they have the launchers download the app automatically and put it in the right place. My thought is why not save some time and effort and instead of bundling things in the suite why not just download something like that? Just download a launcher and you can check checkbox typa-things to select what apps you want.

Hi, I was wondering if someone can tell me where is the location of the icon file that the PortableApps Menu uses for the applications?

I'm asking is because I'm currently using PAM Mod with a dark theme and even with the transparency there's a halo of white around my app icons, i was wondering if I can locate the icon files and see if i can clean up the halo. Thanks

Is GnuCash 2.2.8 Portable in development ?
Can I help? Where can I find the instructions how to do that?

You can generally use this batch file to portabalize alot of things. Just change the variables to your needs (the set blah=blah lines)

@echo off
if NOT "%1" == "/Added" (
start /MIN "ShellWM Loader" %0 /Added
goto end
) else (
echo Loading...
)
:: Change these to your app's
:: applicationname is the name of the app
:: (no spaces please)
:: application is the file to run, "" if it has spaces
:: regkey1 is the branch created by the application
:: (Usually HKCU\Software\%applicationname%).

You can get the Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack from the Microsoft website but in my case, I don't want to have to install it and I couldn't even if i wanted to.

Can anyone help?

Hello Everybody!!

Im not sure if this is being posted in the right forum or not. Please feel free to move it if you would like.

So basically I followed one of the forum postings and I copied all the Ad-Aware files from the program files folder to my thumb drive. Now when I open the program I get this error message:
"System error: 810 has occurred.Description: Service is not online. Application terminates"

I'm going to ask a developer of a free physics simulator if I can make a Portable Apps version of the program. The software is not open source, and is not to be used for commercial purposes. Anyway, what do I need to know about the software before working on it?
