Portable App Development

I know it's not opensource / freeware, but for any developers that use it, it does work from the thumb drive just copy the zend folder over from the install directory.

just need to have a program that calls the zde.exe for the menu to work.

For some of my Apps like Task Coach, and BonkEnc, they have tons on languages that don't take much space, so obviously I'd use the installer to write the correct language to the INI string, config file, or registry file, etc.

I was wondering, for these apps, almost all the needed languages for the installer are localized in the installer localization forum post. Would is be okay if I went and grabbed the ones I needed? Or are we waiting for some kinda finalization on them?

Hi all,

I'm new to this forum.
I have downloaded the Portable App Creator and tried to create my own Portable App by following the instruction on the Portable App Creator. However, when I copy the shortcut to my flashdrive, I get an error message saying:

"Windows can not find ....D:\...\....exe. Make sure you type the name correctly"

This happened after I uninstalled the original application from my drive.

Which steps did I miss? Anyhelp is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Melisa

I am no professional programmer but some time ago I needed to run an old INI driven application from USB drive and I got tired of updating the INI file each time I launched the program so I decided to write a little helper for that.
Portabelize is a utility for launching ini file controlled applications from USB drives.

Do not use this. Use the PortableApps.com Launcher instead.

What ist it for?
It helps you to create a clean portable application. This means no traces are left on the host computer and the application doesn't (normally) have to be changed in any way. (Maybe some configuration files)

Where can I get it?
http://www.loncarek.de/downloads/ApplicationPortableTemplate.nsi
use "Save As..." in your browser.
The license and more information could be found at the end of the source.

I have been working on Stellarium Portable, and have run into a few problems. If anyone could help in any way, that would be fabulous.

Would it be possible to get a feature that can change the color of the portable apps menu?

Can anyone help with a C++ problem?

I've compiled my program (apparently without errors), but it crashes when I try to run it. If anyone's got better debug functionality on their comp, a report of what went wrong will be very welcome.

The program in question is NCRC-Tool, my attempt at coding a PortableApps.com Launcher CRC-check bypass.
It reads in 2 values from an INI file, telling it:
1. Which executable (the launcher) to run, and
2. Whether or not to show an alert telling the user that it is running the file with parameter /NCRC.

Being there is a shortage of portable AVs, I figured I'd finally get around to doing this one. Obviously it's not free or open source, so I can't post any files or compiled binaries. But if you own the product, here's how to run it portably. I got the basic idea from a plugin someone did for UBCD4Win.

The following instructions and script assume the normal PApps directory structure. This works with NOD32 v2.70.xx, not the newer v3.0.

These files go in the App\NOD32 directory.
Files needed from local NOD32 directory -

nod32.000
nod32.002
nod32.003
nod32.004
nod32.005
