Portable App Development

Hello all. A quick question for all the NSIS experts out there. I have searched, but with no luck.

I would like to create a NSIS launcher which will:

1/ Bundle the 5 Truecrypt (traveler mode) files within the launcher,
2/ Extract the 5 Truecrypt files to the $Temp directory,
3/ Launch Truecrypt.exe with standard/predetermined Truecrypt command line variables,
4/ Wait for the Truecrypt drive to be dismounted, and
5/ Delete the Truecrypt temporary files in the $Temp directory.

I am working on a NSI script for wxDownload fast but I am trying to figure out how I can get it to read it's config file. It expects it to be in the current working directory, and am looking for another program or an example that works around this.

I think the best way is to tell wxDownload Fast run in the Data folder (ie set it's working folder to Data).

Any help will be appreciated.

I thought i would start a new post for the nod project.

What is the latest. feel free to post only the major developments, updates and what you find good about the nod project.

If you want to discus problems and trouble try.

Heres the link to the forum topic..

I am trying to make a launcher for FSViewer. It saves folders and files in the directory. How do I make code to move it to the Data folder.

I made a simple tutorial about the new Mod R34 (You can also find the new PaTChed version there, running well with all versions from 1.0 to 1.1)
About PAM Mod R34

I want to create the same for the official PortableApps.com Menu, too.
Pics and a detailed How-to steps for basic questions. Perhaps that's a way to eliminate those perpetual same post we're reading every 3 days.
Possible chapters:
- all about the personal picture
- changing the drive name
- the command buttons
- all about backups

Just thought I'd post this rather than leave it lying around on Google Docs. It's our specification sheet for Application Manager Portable, revised many times. It contains the basic structure for AMP servers and clients, although this was further revised afterwards.

This is not official in any way and I don't necessarily intend for this to change Marko's structure in any way, just providing the way we did it. I've also provided the code used to implement it on the original SVN repository.

I made this theme for myself. It's here for the taking if you want to use it! Back up the default theme and drop this one in its place. If you use it please post here to let me know what you think of it - thanks :).

Hi, PeaZip 2.2 is now available, you can see full changelog and release notes here: http://peazip.sourceforge.net/

This release supports localization (language files can be copied in peazipdirectory\res\lang) and allows custom location for application's data files (data which needs to be writeable at runtime) through \res\altconf.txt file.

Again, don't bash me for asking a dumb question and yes I have read some of the threads on similar subjects.

I have a scientific plotting application that my employer developed/provides (i.e. it is not a commercial licensed application) that is already kind of portable, in that is does not require admin privileges to install. I can and have successfully copied the directory structure from the "c:/Programs Folder" and placed in on a remove shared drive and USB thumb drives. I am not the only one that has done this for various reasons.

Hi Guys,

I used Bat_To_Exe_Converter to be able to launch FincSync using PAM (R31). I was working fine but now AVG tells me that the exe contains the threat Dropper.small.29.BK.

I presume this is a false positive as the contents of my Bat file is below and AVG does not complain about Bat_To_Exe_Converter.exe itself and ClamWin does not complain about the file.

-->
P:\PortableApps\CommonFiles\Java\bin\javaw -jar FinchSync.jar

rem to make the debug window go away, use javaw instead of java
