Portable App Development

Hello All

For Example, In This Chapter :
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\TechSmith\Camtasia Studio 6

Sorry For My Bad English !

What portions of the registry are accessible by a standard user to read and write? I know of several sections that aren't but it would be nice to just kind of have a general breakdown of everything that is and isn't.

OK, I decided to try my hand at the wizardry of making a portable app. I really want to do Deus Ex (game) but figured I'd start small, or smaller. It was suggested I start with DVDFab Decrypter since it's a bit smaller of a project. I don't use the program but figured, why not. Somebody else wants it and, based on what it says it does, I guess it'll be useful to some people.

Alright, so I got the portable NIS editor, NSIS and the two recommended plugins, Regshot, and a couple other utilities.

I ran RegShot and had it look at the C drive and took the 1st shot.

I want to get started on portablizing the PA way and wanted to know which app should I start off with? Any suggestions?

The current PortableApps.com Installer is located here:
https://portableapps.com/apps/development/portableapps.com_installer

This patch is no longer necessary with NSIS 2.45 and up

I have posted a patch for NSIS which fixes the issue in the upcoming Windows 7 Release Candidate (as well as build 7057 / 7068 / 7077 which were leaked early) where it would trigger a Program Compatibility Assistant warning. Only makensis.exe is altered... just replace it in the NSIS program directory. The updated manifest.cpp is included so you can build it yourself, too.

I have no programming experience whatsoever. I'm familiar with a couple terms, but let's just say there's nothing.

I know the launchers are made with NSIS and I basically know what NSIS is - Nullsoft's install system, literally. But how hard is it to actually do the coding?

I have noticed that the Linux section has displayed 'coming soon' for quite some time.

Some links that should be put there:

http://portableubuntu.sourceforge.net/
http://www.pendrivelinux.com/

There are many more versions of Linux made portable, both native and within Windows, which should be included as links.

Thank you.

I use FreeCommander for desktop and like it better than windows explorer. So I went to the FreeCommander website and they have the application in portableapps format. I just thought someone might find this useful.
