Portable App Development

I built a portable app based on launcher template from this forum, let's call it MyAppPortable.exe. Everything works fine, only problem is, that MyAppPortable.exe can not distinguish between MyApp.exe started under it's control resp. started outside of it's control, i.e. from host computer.

It keeps executing until the last instancy of MyApp.exe has been terminated, and this can be the one launched from the host computer.

I have Johns portable scite and I have tried adding the AutoIT au3.properties and api\au3.api to various settings folders in the structure but it doesn't seem to work? Anyone know where in the folder structure it should go and if it works.

You get this files with AutoIT's version of scite

John:
Could you post the source code of your Drive Type Tester?
Or is there any other way of decompiling a nsi-exe?
Cause I'd like to have it for another app I'm having drive letter problems.
Thanks.

Hi, I have a lot of work for the moment, so I won't be working on that project till the end of june, so don't expect quick results.

I'm going to create a CD/DVD + USB key duo system for portable apps.
The principle is simple :
- You have program executable & program data on the CD/DVD-Rom.
- You have your documents & config on the key.
- You insert/plug your cd/key in whatever order you wish

Could anyone guide me on how to create a self extracting EXE from a folder, that will extract and run the exe/files from a windows temp folder?

I'm aware of how to do it in winrar, but not sure of the specific directory that should be used for temp storage (for use on PC's without admin privileges)

So basically i want one big compressed self extracting exe that extracts its contents to a temp folder, and autoruns a specified file.

Hi, for a future Portable App, I've decided I'd give a go at LilyPond. LilyPond is a Musical Notation program that is completely text based. You type in your song or score, or whatever it may be, in a text editor, or in LilyPad, a text editor bundled with LilyPond specifically for writing music in it. You save the file as whatever.ly and then either double click it, or drop it in the shortcut to "lilypond-windows.exe" and it will turn your text music into a PDF, and a Midi file if that is written in your score.

Just thought I would share my convoluted menu system and themes ... Can't wait for the new PAM!

Would work better if

Documents/music/video and pictures links were from the device root and not relative paths - Could be compiled from source? I do not know how to do that.

PAs that use CommonFiles could have their paths edited (..\..\..\CommonFiles)(Can they?) At the moment I just have duplicates of Common Files ...
