(i can post the code if you think it will help)

NSIS PortableApps Installer Script (help please)

Submitted by BrianAll on March 14, 2008 - 1:03pm

I am compiling an PortableApps NSIS installer for the first time, rather than using an sfx archive. I have been working with the installer source code which is provided in about every app available on this site, but I am having trouble with the last bit of script:

Section "!App Portable (required)"
	SetOutPath $INSTDIR
	File /r "Files\*.*"  

This is where I specify the files to include in the installer, isn't it?

Question
I plan to make the plugins pack, however, for the base install of Code::Blocks, should I remove all plugins, or install the plugins that are checked by default in the standard Code::Blocks installer?

Previous Issue Solved
I'm still working on trying to make Code::Blocks portable, and I'm running into a very unusual issue.

Converting Normal Applications to portable ones

I've met some success using reg rapper, however, the program I am seeking to turn portable has extension .dll's, and refuses to function without a particular one on the c drive. Is it possible to turn applications like these completely portable? I can get the registry and program settings to work, however, this .dll keeps getting in the way. Are there any programs to get around this, that would allow me to make the app portable?
