Portable App Development

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?

Hello

I quite new here, but I want to try to make some new Apps.

i did an easy one right now. Where is the right place to upload the App? Is there any special place or just some where in the internet?

Thank you

I want to be able to have a number in front of some programs on the program meny. For example 1 audacity, 2 Photofiltre etc. so the programs willl appear on the top of the meny. I'm in project that will teach swedish teacher students how to use ICT in the classroom. To gratuate in this project they will use different programs in different levels (five levels).
Is it easy to edit in some files to get the numbers first before the program name?

Hi! I am interested in making my copy of Frontpage 2003 portable for personal use. So far, I am willing and able to carry out these options...

1. Use Portable Apps Creator (PAC): Will there be any trouble considering that I have lost my Frontpage 2003 CD?

2. Use a launcher made by others like in this thread.

Is there one that I can download?

Please advise. Thanks!

Hi,
some people say that the pre-versions of the OpenOffice 3.0 portable are the final versions. Is that right? Are we expecting to release OpenOffice 3.0 portable final this year? I am waiting for it since months and don't understand why it isn't ready jet. I read a couple of weeks ago it is as good as ready. Thank you in advande.

Hi!
i'm new to nsis, only doing it for 3 days, and for starters i converted my Photoshop CS4, just for educational porposes, and b/c i don't want to reinstall it every time i reinstall windows. i have deepfreeze too, so all my apps are portabilised, and on drive D:\, but for now only with thinapp.
so, the problem is:
a have used the template provided here in the forums, and i have introduced 2 lines of code, here:

; --------------------------------------------------------------------------
; Apply portable registry key, delete existing key at same time

It would be great if someone could develop a Mac version of portable apps.
any takers?
