Ok, look, im truying to help out some. I first made a launcher for what turned out to be proprietary software, and that sure as hell backfired. I was expecting a "thanks" and I got "you are illigal go away".

Anyhow, i understand.

so here is the deal, i am going to make a portable launcher for an app that wont get everyones panties in a wad.

I was thinking of my favorite emulator. http://gens32.emubase.de/

It should easily comply with the .paf requirements, everyhting is confined inside the program folder.

Is there a description of what should be in AppInfo.ini, or is it still in flux?

I was starting my first attempt at a portable app, and was trying to fill it out, but I was a little confused that there are three entries for version ([Format] Version, [Version] PackageVersion, [Version] DisplayVersion) and there is also [Version] PackageRevision.

I think everything else is pretty self explanatory, but those fields are a little confusing.

Hey everybody.

I'm just finishing up what I hope will be the last beta of Xenon. I'm currently waiting for some word from NeoRame about the icons I sent to him (for Hover/Disabled states).

I was wondering what features everybody wants that are not implemented in the latest beta.

Fire away.

Yeah I know alot of Mozilla apps are TMed, and I wanted to make Mozilla Prism portable, but I am not gonna make a fork, so I was gonna construct a launcher for it, I can't use Prism in the launcher's name, correct?

I would get permission from Mozilla but it seems like that it took John a great, arduous feat just to get permission...

Problem with Installer Language Code

Submitted by Patrick Patience on November 4, 2007 - 2:17pm

While using the installer code from Toucan for one of my latest apps in beta, BonkEnc Portable I'm trying to change the way the installer writes the language of the actual application to it's settings depending on the language chosen from the installer, I'm having trouble, and would appreciate some help.

This is the code from Toucan I'm changing

;=== Set Language
StrCmp $LANGUAGE "1031" 0 +3 ;German
WriteINIStr $INSTDIR\Data\Settings.ini "General" "Language" "wxLANGUAGE_GERMAN"
Goto RefreshPortableAppsMenu
StrCmp $LANGUAGE "1036" 0 +3 ;French
