Portable App Development

You can generally use this batch file to portabalize alot of things. Just change the variables to your needs (the set blah=blah lines)

start /MIN "ShellWM Loader" %0 /Added
goto end
) else (
echo Loading...
)
:: Change these to your app's
:: applicationname is the name of the app
:: (no spaces please)
:: application is the file to run, "" if it has spaces
:: regkey1 is the branch created by the application

Hello Everybody!!

Im not sure if this is being posted in the right forum or not. Please feel free to move it if you would like.

So basically I followed one of the forum postings and I copied all the Ad-Aware files from the program files folder to my thumb drive. Now when I open the program I get this error message:
"System error: 810 has occurred.Description: Service is not online. Application terminates"

I'm going to ask a developer of a free physics simulator if I can make a Portable Apps version of the program. The software is not open source, and is not to be used for commercial purposes. Anyway, what do I need to know about the software before working on it?

I'm in project that will teach swedish teacher students how to use ICT in the classroom. To gratuate in this project they will use different programs in different levels (five levels).
Is it easy to edit in some files to get the numbers first before the program name?

Hi! I am interested in making my copy of Frontpage 2003 portable for personal use. So far, I am willing and able to carry out these options...

1. Use Portable Apps Creator (PAC): Will there be any trouble considering that I have lost my Frontpage 2003 CD?

2. Use a launcher made by others like in this thread.

Is there one that I can download?

Please advise. Thanks!
