Microsoft Visual Basic Express 2010

Submitted by abusha on March 4, 2011 - 11:01am

There should be a way to create a completely portable version of Microsoft Visual Basic Express 2010. I think that if you used thinapp you could create a portable executable of the program. I already know of a portable version of Visual Basic Express 2008 that was created using thinapp. The link to it is here:

This is the 2008 version. Judging by this, wouldn't it make sense that if you used the exact same method on the 2010 version of visual basic express, you could create a portable version of it? Could someone please try it and let me know?

I think it is illegal for me to make these software in PA.c Format, I'm a single person so I think PortableApps.com should ask Piriform for permission.

Problem with [FilesMove] and DirectoriesMove]

Submitted by tapsklaps on February 24, 2011 - 5:44pm

Yesterday is appeared the app System Explorer Portable. For more details I looked in the file SystemExplorerPortable.ini and in the Data folder. Before the start of the app I find two things inside of the Data folder:

  • a folder named "snapshots"
  • a file named "config.ini"

In the file SystemExplorerPortable.ini I find the following lines of code

[DirectoriesMove]
snapshots=%PAL:AppDir%\System Explorer\snapshots

[FilesMove]
config.ini=%PAL:AppDir%\System Explorer

Questions regarding Creation of a *.paf.exe File

Submitted by tapsklaps on February 22, 2011 - 3:01pm

I want to make portable the app streamWriter (http://streamwriter.org/en/). The goal of this app is to record music broadcasted by internet-radiostations. I have downloaded the file streamwriter.zip and extract it in the directory C:\streamwriter\, which contains the files streamwriter.exe and bass.dll. Afterwards I have created the file and directory layout according to the PortableApps.com Format™ Specification.

Afterwards I arrange some questions regarding the creation of a *.paf.exe file.

Full Operating System for Portable Apps

Submitted by jegarner on February 20, 2011 - 11:01am

Portable Apps has really been a blessing for many of us who have to work on computers other than our own. However, I would like to see PA go a step further in the creation of an entire portable OS.

I am aware that it is very close to that now, and I'm sure that there are those that will argue with me and say that it is it's own OS, but what I'm referring to is an OS, so complete that it is similar to XP Mode in Windows 7.
