Portable App Development

Again, don't bash me for asking a dumb question and yes I have read some of the threads on similar subjects.

I have a scientific plotting application that my employer developed/provides (i.e. it is not a commercial licensed application) that is already kind of portable, in that is does not require admin privileges to install. I can and have successfully copied the directory structure from the "c:/Programs Folder" and placed in on a remove shared drive and USB thumb drives. I am not the only one that has done this for various reasons.

Hi Guys,

I used Bat_To_Exe_Converter to be able to launch FincSync using PAM (R31). I was working fine but now AVG tells me that the exe contains the threat Dropper.small.29.BK.

I presume this is a false positive as the contents of my Bat file is below and AVG does not complain about Bat_To_Exe_Converter.exe itself and ClamWin does not complain about the file.

-->
P:\PortableApps\CommonFiles\Java\bin\javaw -jar FinchSync.jar

rem to make the debug window go away, use javaw instead of java

How do i upload my VirtualCD portable app ?

Hola,
I have been trying to pass command Params to ccrypt, and I have done it, except I can only encrypt something that is in the C:\ part of the drive, It wont encrypt anything that is for example in My Documents and I cant figure out why. So can someone explain to me the proper way to use ccrypt. Thanks in advance.

The last version of updater.ini is from 2008-07-25 and since then has been buggy (see here and here). With the new app versions from yesterday there are two more bugs: Neither WinSCP 4.1.6 nor FileZilla 3.1.0.1 show up in updater.ini.

So there are four apps now that won't be updated automatically. Please fix this issue, John.

I need to get SMPlayer working and out of the door before tomorrow (I know I'm a procrastinating dev :P) because SMPlayer still hogs CPU and crashes. I was thinking that since SMPlayer uses CSIDL to get folder paths, I could redirect CSIDL like haustin said he would implement into PortableApps.nsh (BTW what happened to it?).
I found a WinAPI article about it, but I'm not entirely sure if it's safe to use. Does it only change it in its own enviroment like the Enviroment Variables, or does it affect the entire system?

THE NEW RELEASE OF THE PORTABLEAPPS.COM INSTALLER IS HERE:
https://portableapps.com/node/19015

The PortableApps.com Installer allows you to easily create a custom installer for any app without having to write any code. You just need to edit a simple configuration file that has comments within and have the latest NSIS and the FindProc and MoreInfo plugins installed on your PC.

Hi,

I have been getting an error when compiling .nsi scripts. The error has been at the system::call part.

I'm not sure if this is the place to post this but...
I know a lot of other websites have apps that can be portable.
Like CCleaner or IconFX.

Why create a list of portable programs not made by portableapps?
