I've been thinking i wanted to try to make an app. But I'm pretty new to programming all together. (I've had a little c++ experience but thats about it). So I wanted to try something small. I just want to try to create an entry in the portable apps menu that executes an exe. can someone show me the most simplest way to do that. Thanks in advance.

P.S. i apologize if this is shown elsewhere, i briefly searched but couldn't find anything.

Hello,
I'm trying to portabilize an application for myself (ImageJ) and I would like to make it PAM compatible for installation (Iwante to create a paf.exe). i try to edit portableApps.com.installer.nsi, and then to compile it with NSIS. But i have this error :

Invalid command: MoreInfo::GetProductName
Error in script "Z:\PortableApps\PortableImageJ\Other\Source\PortableApps.comInstaller.nsi" on line 234 -- aborting creation process

Can you help me please ? I have poor programming level

Editable menu

I like your menu but it is not at all customizable, so I am using PStart.
I tried searching the forums but got confused.
Is there a way to make your menu customizable. Please provide the link

My apps need better names

Submitted by wraithdu on June 3, 2008 - 6:34pm

Since there was a lot of input for the CafeMOD, nay eXpresso, name debate, I need some help too.

I've got several apps here, and a new one I'm working on that could really use some better names. In no particular order -

EraserDropTarget
PortableFileAssociator
Filetype Manager (new, in development)
