Portable App Development

Hi all,

I'm just new to this forum and i would like to know where i can learn the needed info to start make my portable program?
IS there is any manual or help pages that i can learn from it?

Thanks

I finally broke down and started to learn AutoIt3's DllCall function, and NSIS's related System plugin. They're hard

This was all prompted by the problem I was having with Vista and RDTools. I needed a way to correctly retrieve the paths for Windows special folders (SendTo, My Documents, etc). Since I fixed it in AutoIt, I figured I'd do an NSIS version too. NSIS has a lot of these builtin, but it doesn't have them all.

ok here's the thing. i want to make a gui using the nsdialogs plugin (which is what digitxp used for his gamesuit portable) with a listbox, buttons, etc. This is done completely in functions without using section main. my question is how do i use the two together. if i write the gui menu, how can i integrate it into the normal PA nsis launcher? i was playing around with it trying before but had no luck. sorry, i'm okay at scripting but i'm still a programming noob

my question is can an app be portable if it requires .NET 2.0. I found a little program i wanted to paf but it needs .NET 2.0 and most computers have .NET 2.0 or newer. So that dependency might not be any different from our apps having the dependency of needing to run on Windows. tell me what you think

Okay here is what i am having problems with, im able to get the app data to save in a folder its just its not saving in my "DATA" directory, its saving in the C:\
The original program saves its data in this directory "C:\Documents and Settings\Nathan\Local Settings\Application Data" Hope that is more helpful to help solve my problem. Also my registry entries arent being deleted, is there more i have to include in the script to do it or is something wrong? Any help would be appreciated.

Hello!
This time I'm working (not finished, just want to hear your comments :-)) on a theme set called "Digiframe". I'm added a folder "Userpic" where you can drop any 4:3ratio jpg by renaming it user.jpg. So you could customising a theme without many work.

there is a small program i want to do and it comes in a normal version and a ansi version. both seem to open for me but i wanted to know what was gained by using the unicode version over the ansi version. i know ansi is for win98 etc i could use the ansi version or both of them.

Hi All,

I'm toying with the idea to develop an application and being a portable apps convert, it just makes sense to develop an app that can run on any (windows) machine without having any dependencies on what should be installed on the machine.

SharpDevelop (C#, Boo) was my first choice IDE but with its dependence on .NET/Mono means that I cannot use it.
