Release Revision Instructions

Ok, so mistakes happen. Heck, they do to me. But I wanted to ensure that when they happen they're done right to avoid multiple ones.

When releasing a revision, do NOT post it publicly. If you do, there's a chance someone else could grab it and post it elsewhere for download leaving us with multiple versions (one signed, one unsigned... different MD5s etc). If you want folks to test it before final release, post it as X.Y Revision 2 Pre-Release 1 the way we do with other test releases.

FlashGet Portable

Application: FlashGet
Category: Internet
Description: FlashGet (formerly JetCar) is a freeware download manager for Microsoft Windows.

Notes:
Here you can find launchers for FlashGet download manager. Every mayor version has its own launcher and it probably won't work with other versions, but you can try ;). They should be fully functional, feedback is welcome.

can someone help me out. what would cause my app to launch fine on its own but when launched from my nsis script it looks like it starts to open and immediately closes. i tried adding a long sleep after the execwait and i also tried commenting out all of the stuff that moves files around. nothing seems to work. any ideas? (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?
