Portable App Development

I'm having trouble launching a "beta" portable app I posted here:

https://portableapps.com/node/22791

It seems that something changed since platform v. 1.0 but I can't figure out what's making my launcher fail.

Any clues as to how to debug this?

Thanks

Does the portablapps.com spec allow DLL registration (at startup) and de-registration (at shutdown) via regsvr?

In other words, can a portable app launcher take care of DLL registration?

Thanks

I had found a new portable app (author made it not portable, but it is portable)
I makes no registry entries or files
it is The Regex Coach
unpack, add splash screen and sfx and it is ready to use

Some applications have their own splash screen.
Maybe in those that it is appropriate you should just add a PortableApps.com logo to the corner, instead of completely changing the splash screen so we wont lose the splash screen image of the original App?

For example: GIMP

Hi,

I noticed that most portableapps.com launchers have the same splash image (eg. 7-zip portable). I would like to know if a template image is available so I can craft my own for a new portable app I'm preparing (my first try at it).

Thanks

I want to make a launcher that launches an app after it closes another one...

I'm trying to make Abobe Flash Player Portable and I made a little exe that deletes the cookies you make on the computer and replaces them with original cookies that were on it (if any) but I don't know how to edit the Firefox Portable Launcher so that it launches the "cookie monster" after you close firefox.

The newest version of uTorrent has been out for a while. Are there any plans to update the Portable Apps package?

Yes, uTorrent can already be made portable but the package by the Portable Apps team is a much more elegant solution.

Is there a recommended method for packaging Python applications?

In particular, I was planning to package TiddlyWeb.

As a first step I have created some basic scripts that make it reasonably straightforward to set up TiddlyWeb on Windows, using Portable Python.

(I hope I got this in the right place)

Hello, I'm creating my own portable version of RollerCoaster Tycoon 2(hence I don't follow official specs or anything) and I've run into a problem. I got this piece of code:


${registry::MoveKey} "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Infogrames\" "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Infogrames-backup\" $R0
Sleep 100


Which works as expected. However, the opposite does nothing:


${registry::MoveKey} "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Infogrames-backup\" "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Infogrames\" $R0
Sleep 100


CMD blocked by admin no more!!!!

More info + Download= Command Prompt (Revized)

I think I got all the bugs out, So let me now of any.

But I had the problem of getting a CMD block at school because of admin. Now with the new revised version the admin can't block your portable version of CMD and it's still truly portable.
