THANK YOU.

Condition:

-Sometimes there is some applications that still runing from our flasdisk that prevent us from ejecting them (flashdisk). On the other case some virus have similar condition to prevent us to ejecting the flashdisk, because the process is still runing.

Improvement:

I noticed many different PortableApps.com language environment variables.
Exists an overview of them (name and how languages are stored)? Can't find one and want to select the best fitting one for my apps!

Hi,

I'm trying to create an installer and I've uncommented two of the language lines in the config file (English and Afrikaans) but when I do a right-click -> compile I get the following error at the end of the output:

!insertmacro: MUI_LANGUAGE
Error: Can't open language file - "C:\Program Files\NSIS\Contrib\Language files\Afrikaans.nlf"!
Error in macro MUI_LANGUAGE on macroline 9
Error in script "C:\workspace\Tubecaster\svn\tubecaster\src\TubecasterPortable\Other\Source\PortableApps.comInstaller.nsi" on line 137 -- aborting creation process

What programs to use to read dword?
And how do you write dword "junk" keys with NSIS?
like nsis converts the regular keys into "junk" dword keys and writes it in the registry...
There's a path key written in dword and I can't change it if I can't read/write dword. Can somebody help?

Thanks

well, we have many apps in our package, and yet to come much more apps in the future. Now if we need to check each app for update, first we have to run the apps and check for the version on hand, open the browser, download update from web, all manually.
If we have a tools for showing all apps install in the packages, list all the version on hand, showing all latest version available, one-click update, and also what's new apps available. It help's a lot.

Hello,
as u all know many programs save personal datas, like f.x. pidgin ur passwords in the file accounts.xml and gpg the key and so on. Espessially on the stick this really sucks when it goes lost.

My idea was to make a script / programm what is stored in the Portable Apps folder.
in a txt file u say what files or folders are personal.
then the script runs 7zip and encrypt these files / folders.
And delete/overwrite them.

Next start u just make decrypt here to the archive and it puts the personal files in the right places.

Hi, I'm new to NSIS and I'm trying to create a portable launcher. I wanna know how or what code do you use to watch the program running in the system processes, and when It stops, I wanna restore the RegistryBak.reg (a backup before the program [launcher] was executed).

Any Help
Thank You!

Hello,

maybe my suggestions can be setup in one of the next Releases?

It is already possible to set a special wallpaper to be activated when
Portable Apps starts.

The root of the user profile should also be changed to the data on the usb-stick.

That means, if I open Internet Explorer there should be the favourites
and links which are stored on the usb stick. The same with Quick Launch (will be hard),
and so on.

In many cases some reg-key must been changed or updated and reset on end.
So there can be tow Files (System.reg and UserUSB.reg) which have to be executed.

MaximaPortable has two applications connected by a socket: maxima.exe and the wxmaxima.exe GUI. When the portable launches in Windows XP I get the following popup:
