Portable App Development

I would just like to suggest an app that would password protect the entire flash drive, making it unable to view without entering in the password. I had a U3 drive that was like this. To tell you the truth it was the only nice feature of U3. Portable apps launcher is so much nicer, but it would be better if it could password protect the entire drive. Thanks.

Hello,

I put portable apps pack on my usb device. after i used the programs i wanted to, i removed it off my drive.

Now every time i put my usb drive into a computer, it says this;

when it's supposed to say "KINGSTON"

btw, there is absolutely nothing inside my USB device. I also formated it.

When will the compression routines and universal launcher allowing you to make apps portable without coding as described on the Development page be available?

Hi there.

I am trying to adapt the Flash player I have developed (Swatmajor1's Flash Player) into a portable version, with no success. It is a VB6 coded program, so it shouldn't be too difficult to make portable.

The idea came from Portable Firefox. Copy the Flash plug in from its default location (In this case ..\system32\macromed\flash) and paste it into the programs directory.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Signing off,

Swatmajor1

PS

I was wondering could someone make a PHP script, that when you entered the name version ect. it would output a compleat NSIS script.
I think it would make portable app creation a lot faster

OK I hope this is the right place to put this, but for those of you who play EVE online at home and work like myself may get a kick out of this.

I just installed EVE online into a folder of it's own in my portable apps USB drive, and it worked on my laptop and my workstation. Nothing to it really except to make sure it installs to the directory, like mine was "F:\PortableApps\EVE". Simple as that. I didn't find any posts regarding this and figured my first post would be this.

Thought I'd try building a portable app so I've built Windows Live Writer Portable.
For those that don't know, WLW is a new blog publishing tool, currently in Beta, from Microsoft. It's actually a nice little tool that works with all the major blogging platforms, not just Microsoft Spaces. An interesting app to make portable.

The Portable Apps Creation Master 1.6 is built for the ultimate registry eradication!

I was trying to work on making Omea Reader portable. It creates over 100 registry entries. After adding the keys in the .nsi file, i tried compiling it. It throws an error message. It seems like it doesnt support large number of reg entries. Is there a work around to this? Like adding all reg entires in a file. And then asking the script to import the reg entries in the file? I am new to NullSoft scripting...still on the learning curve. Can someone help me out with this thing? Any suggestions? Examples will help too.

Thanks,
Sam.

I loved the Portable Application Template that I have seen on the forms here, so I made a program to edit and compile it automatically. There are still bugs, but I got most of them out. Please feel free to tell me what you think. In the spirit of open source, I have also released the code.
