Portable App Development

Not working see the photo for the error http://img714.imageshack.us/img714/6743/googlechromeportable.jpg

On the main page say Google Chrome 9.0.597.67 but when downloading GoogleChromePortable_8.0.552.237_online.paf different version

I just wanted to be clear on this. Can an app released under the BSD license be repackaged as a portable app? From my understanding it can be, but wanted to make sure I was correct.

John and I have been discussing how to encorporate language switching into Stickies. Unfortunately the app handles language switching in a rather odd manor. When it's launched it checks it's running directory for a file called "language70.dll". If that file is found it will pickup whatever language is contained; if there is no file it defaults to English.

On IRC John said that

The application that I am working on has a setting to "launch at windows startup". If this settings is checked, the application will add a registry key value to:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

My problem is that I can't find anywhere how I can remove a single registry key value. The following would remove all values from this key, which is not what I need:

[RegistryCleanUpForce]
1=HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

What I need is something like this, but doesn't seem to work:

[RegistryCleanUpForce]

Hi there!

i love portable apps soooo much. but i have one problem, always new versions
coming out of the apps and ill have more to check for updates and unzip them as i can use the tools.
how about a special tool, in it you can select your important unzipped used portableapps and search for updates, then it will auto download, unzip and so on.
i think it will be good if its seperated from the portable apps launcher.

many thanks to you all!

Ok. I have this all about working know. But still having a little problems. Got a few apps that I need the presetting to write/over right the files & to registry before launch of app and then backup after launch and written to the "data" folder.

I have the need files pre-set files & the portableapp.reg key in "app\defaultdata" folder. I need that information to be place back in reg and the files to be placed in a specific location and read on launching app.

What do I need to add to the launcher ini to do this?

Thanks

There may be cases where admin privileges are only needed for optional (and possibly very specific functions of) sub-programs or plugins of the main program. That is, cases where the main program doesn't need it. In those cases, it's a major no-no to keep bothering the user. A try_once option would only ask the question one time.

installer.ini might be an alternative place for such an option.

Please consider this.

Explorer++ made for your portable pleasure..!

This is my first go at this.. seemed pretty damn easy.

It seems some Test Releases are hosted in your own host. Is there a way to host there too or is it only reserved for members of Management?

Please rephrase* the word "this" in the following line:

See [Environment] for details on that technique. If possible, avoid using this as it will make relative files passed through the command line fail unless it is only a single file given (which will be automatically corrected).
