Portable App Development

I wanted to give the discussion from here a proper thread.

Regarding the possibility to us the server component of AssaultCube, I have a couple of questions:

Do both server and client have to be run simultaneously on the same machine?
Does anyone know what files the server needs?

Hello,

is it possible to get an install/update log with the new portable application install program? I would like to be able to review what happened during the install and update process. This should be integrated into the installer, so that a log is available for every application distributed here (all new ones).

I downloaded the sources of PartableApps.com Platform and I know how to compile them.
When I compile the platform I have : "[Fatal Error] dialog.pas (7): File not found: 'pngimage.dcu' "

Hi everybody,

I really like the favorites function. Would it be possible to split the portable apps menu into a favorites area with 5 entries, scrolling possible, and a normal program area? It would be very helpful.

TeamViewer v5.1.9192 is out since 2010-09-21.

May I suggest some improvements to whoever currently develops the offical PA.c version?

The currently available version 5.1.9160 can leave traces in the host system's registry at:

HKCU\Software\Teamviewer\Version5.1\
HKLM\Software\Teamviewer\Version5.1\

Also, the "TeamViewer.ini" file is kept in three places:

App\DefaultData\settings\TeamViewer.ini
App\teamviewer\TeamViewer.ini
Data\settings\TeamViewer.ini

As I create the app using the installer I get an error:

...
SetDetailsPrint: both
DetailPrint: "$InstallingStatusString"
SetDetailsPrint: ListOnly
!insertmacro: _EndIf
!insertmacro: end of _EndIf
File: failed creating mmap of "..\..\NWM2011x64Portable.exe"
Error in script "G:\Program Files\Autodesk\Autodesk 2011\Navisworks Manage 2011\Other\Source\PortableApps.comInstaller.nsi" on line 901 -- aborting creation process

Can anyone please help me with this I'm new to creating PortableApps?

Thanks.

Hey guys,

I have a few apps that require multiple launchers quite like has been done in open office and am wondering if the same is possible with the PAL?

I am aware that the launchers in OO.org are done straight from the NSIS code, but its worth a try asking isn't it?

Also, if it isn't possible, will it be implemented in future versions of the PAL?

Many thanks,

Shane Thompson

How can I do this? I have looked over the forums and haven't found solutions that work. I don't really know what I should post. I have come no closer to finding a solution by myself... So I am turning towards you guys.
Thanks,

I'm working on making FoFiX portable. For those that don't know, it's a massively more developed version of Frets on Fire, which is itself a Guitar Hero/Rock Band clone. I should be done by the end of this weekend.

Here is the first Development Version of FoFiX portable. http://www.sourceforge.com/projects/bassfz.u/files/FoFiXPortable_3.121_R...

I've tried my hand at developing full-fledged apps, with mixed success; I started DeskSkin, but stopped developing it because I found a far superior solution in my mind (Toolbox), and for Hugin Portable, I'm struggling with the PAL while waiting for a Windows build of their latest rev.
In the meantime, I've worked out some small tricks that I use to enhance the Platform, based on the extremely flexible ini approach of the PortableApps Format. I'm calling them MiniApps.
