Learning NSIS... need suggestions

Submitted by jugstah on February 28, 2007 - 10:59am

Hi, I've been playing with NSIS for a few days now, and am trying to portablize an app that I would like to carry around with me on my flash drive.

I need some suggestions/leads on how to handle DLLs by the app in question. I found that putting all the DLLs in the app's directory seemed to work fine. Is that acceptable practice? Or should I have it in a separate directory and have the .NSI file tell the launcher where to find it?

How do I set the icon of a paf.exe file?

I used both resource hacker and xn resource editor. (I couldn't get resource hacker to work but xn did.) I get a file that works but the PAM won't accept it. The file works before I set the icon but not after. How do I do this?

Workrave Portable 1.8.4

I have created a portable version of Workrave that is ready for some testing. Workrave is a program that assists in the recovery and prevention of Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI). The program frequently alerts you to take micro-pauses, rest breaks and restricts you to your daily limit.

I came across this the other day by accident. Definitely a nice little program to remind me to rest etc whilst I am at work busying away on the keyboard.

The self extracting archive can be downloaded from its current location.

Need help making KVIrc portable

Submitted by MasterGoodheart on February 25, 2007 - 1:15am

I've been trying to make a launcher for KVIrc (its an open-source IRC client), but having problems. Firstly, so everyone knows what I did, I installed the program first onto my computer, made a copy of the program folder, then uninstalled it. When you run it for the first time it comes up with a Config wizard in which you select a IRC nickname (which can be changed later), the places you want to put its config files and downloads, and some other things.
