Portable App Development

Hi, I'm using the following code to get the display height and width:

${SegmentFile}

${SegmentInit}
System::Call user32::GetSystemMetrics(i0)i.r0
System::Call user32::GetSystemMetrics(i1)i.r1

${SetEnvironmentVariable} ScreenWidth $0
${SetEnvironmentVariable} ScreenHeight $1
!macroend

However, I really need the screen refresh rate as well. I have no idea how to incorporate win32 functions into NSIS. Can you help me?
Thanks.

Is it possible to create an app with 2 download of a msi extension and then say to the installation to install directly to the App\AppName folder and App\AppName64 with the installer.ini? I am trying to create an app portable but I can't just extract it because its give me random file for the installer itself and not for the app (because the msi need to be launch and extract the app itself). I need to to this because of the EULA.

EDIT: Finally I found a way with a .nsh file and Rename command.

I am currently creating the 1.35.0 version of VSCodium in the portable app format but I have a problem;

It was proposed that I use the build in portable mode and the problem is that I have a error when I install on a VSCodium already installed and with only this in my installer.ini;

[FilesToPreserve]
PreserveFile1=App\VSCodium\data\user-data\User\settings.json

Hi,

I'm trying to portabilize an app.
The program works fine, but if I move it to other location, show this error:

The path to MyApp has changed, since it was last started, from MyOldPath to MyNewPath.
Moving portable apps like this is not advised, and some features may not work. Are you sure you want continue?

Why? If I donwload from internet a program and move that, the error not appair...

Thanks.

Hi,

I have a COMPLETE code written in NSIS, so I haven't nothin to write in PortableApps syntax.

Can I compile MyApp.nsi with PA Launcher Generator?

How can I do? Is there a tutorial step by step?

Thanks

(I can't use makensis.exe because it loose the registry backup/restore, while Launcher Generator works fine...).
