Portable Java...maybe soon...ish

Submitted by FoxxEnoch on September 24, 2007 - 4:06pm

I think I have an idea onhow to run java from a portadrive but it keeps backfiring on me. I copied the registry settings for java into my template and I want to use a getroot command to change the drive letter in to the correct one and then write it to the registry. (it does the local backup and stuff too) Whenever I try to compile it, it says "writeregstr requires 4 parameters, got 5"

any ideas?

this could be used to change the settings file of a program to use the current drive letter too.

Is it legal to make Eclipse portable (distributing Eclipse with a launcher)?

Link to the EPL (From Wikipedia): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eclipse_Public_License

Im a bit confused, I really wanna make Eclipse Portable (distributing Eclipse with a launcher), if it is illegal to distribute Eclipse with a launcher, I'll just make a launcher for it.

I tried 3 ways to create this software a portable for my usb-stick, so I can test my own website security when I´m on vacation for 2 months...

1) thinstall
2) Creating portable the traditional way with NSIS
3) and as last resort just copying the program folder to usb stick.

So result with these 3 methods, the program just gives me this error message:

NSIS 2.3

Submitted by Gph007 on September 21, 2007 - 12:39am

I have installed NSIS 2.3 and to test it I am trying to execute a portableapps script. I have tried to compile the examples that come with NSIS and they all work fine. I can not get a single portableapps script to compile. I have tried a lot of them and they all seem unable to find the executable and abort on Invalid command: FindProcDLL::FindProc. Here is part of the output from NSIS: (SumatraPDF) -- What am I doing wrong?

Changing directory to: "F:\PortableApps\SumatraPDFPortable\Other\SumatraPDFPortableSource"
