NSIS 2.44 Windows 7 Patch 1 by PortableApps.com

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.

Portable Operating Systems

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.

Skype Loader: Simple App To Make Skype Portable (skype.exe NOT included)

Submitted by jarce on April 15, 2009 - 3:47pm

Skype Loader is a very simple application that just runs Skype as a portable app.

This is done by using the official skype.exe switches /removable and /datapath.

You just need to decompress the ZIP folder into whenever you want, and then copy skype.exe from your skype installation folder to the SkyePortable\App folder.

SETUP

0) Download Skype Loader from here http://www.zshare.net/download/58702177b503d9c3/

1) Download Skype from www.skype.com

2) Install Skype to your machine (this is required to get skype.exe application)
