Umwandeln von Cameyo-App zu PortableApp mit Einbindung von (open)Java-JRE

Submitted by Darter on July 2, 2020 - 10:36am

Hallo!

Ich habe den Windows10-Client der Brettspielwelt.de mit cameyo in eine portablen App umgewandelt.

Nun wollte ich diese App bei PortableApp mit einbinden.

Ich hatte bereits die JREs bei PortableApp installiert.

Beim Aufruf vom Client wird aber gemeldet, dass JRE benötigt wird.

Wie muss ich jetzt die Appinfo.ini und ggfs. noch weiter (ini-)Dateien erstellen, die noch nicht vorhanden sind, die ich zur Benutzung mit PortableApp benötige?

Die installierten JRE kann ich nicht seperat starten sondern nur per App-Aufruf.

How to create multiple icons at once?

Submitted by enzeinzen on May 31, 2020 - 4:57pm

I am trying to create a portableapp that has multiple launcher .exes.
I have got everything working previously by making a separate appinfo.ini for each one and compiling them one at a time but I want to do it the proper way since I use a custom.nsh and I don't have to go trough that everytime I change something.
I have all the launcher.ini's set up and it all works as it's supposed to.
I set up the appinfo.ini as specified in the format. However, when I try to compile it, only the first Icon gets compiled.

(Only DOOM.exe appears.)

Portableapps.com launcher not closing

Submitted by tonklin on May 30, 2020 - 1:51pm

my launcher (made with Portableapps.com launcher generator) runs AutoHotkey.exe
if another instance of AutoHotkey.exe is running then this launcher does not close
it copies registry settings back to \Data folder as it should but stays open according to windows task manager

how can I make it close without closing other instance of AutoHotkey.exe?

CommandLineArguments

Submitted by Gaber on May 16, 2020 - 12:06pm

Hi,

I have read the instruction, but there is a thing I can't understand...
I'm trying to readdress the folder C:\ProgramData to MyApp/ProgramData.

CommandLineArguments=--ProgramData-directory=%PAL:DataDir%\ProgramData

Is CommandLineArguments the right command?
How can I call C:\ProgramData?

Thanks.

Foxit Reader Portable 9.7.2.29539

Submitted by Stamimail on May 8, 2020 - 9:09am

I don't know if it is a PortableApp problem or app problem.
I run FoxitReaderPortable.exe
RightClick on the taskbar button to pin the program to taskbar.

The problem:
The program that is actually pinned to taskbar (for the next launch), it is not the portable exe.
This is what pinned:
"...\FoxitReaderPortable\App\Foxit Reader\FoxitReader.exe"

"Repair app" feature

The following post contains feedback, suggestion(s), and/or a feature request for the PortableApps Platform on Windows:

Please add a feature to the PortableApps Launcher that checks my installed app's for errors using MD5 or SHA256 and reinstalls if necessary. This could be an option in the right-click menu for individual apps, or in the right-click menu to "Apps."
