Portable App Development

Currently, the PAL documentation is built using reStructuredText, and built using Sphinx.

Installing this on Windows requires jumping through a few hoops, although I am aware it is possible to install Sphinx on the Windows Subsystem for Linux if necessary.

Hi I Am using Adobe illustrator cs6 portable by portableapps.com so by mistake i have deleted my app file in which i have lost my appinfo.ini file so i am not able to run Adobe illustrator so how can i make a file by my self or from where can i download that file or can any one help me ????

This is my first project, and I'm in trouble...

I'm trying to portabilize this app (not found in internet).
I've written this codeline:

In AppInfo.ini:

[Format]
Type=PortableAppsFormat
Version=0.0

[Details]
Name=Moo0 VideoConverter Portable
AppId=Moo0VideoConverterPortable

[Version]
PackageVersion=0.0
DisplayVersion=0.0

[Control]
Icons=1
Start=VideoConverter.exe

[Launch]
ProgramExecutable=Moo0VideoConverter\VideoConverter.exe

In Launcher.ini

With the release of jdkPortable, support for the same has not yet been added to PAL. It is, however, on my todo list.

NB - Marked as a bug for tracking purposes.

I've got some ideas on extending PortableApps.comLauncher. I was just wondering how I go about getting my ideas out.

One of my ideas is something like:

In the PortableApps.comLauncher.nsi file:

It's been days since my 3 portableapps platforms, all hosted in my system drive, fails to update.

Every time I go on with the update wizard it proceed downloading the apps, then it skip directly to the end of the operations very fast. And every time it doesn't do nothing, so that I'm stucked.

I tried with a fresh installation of the platform but when I try to download and install an app it just do the same and nothing happen.

The problem seems related to the updater tool, cause if I download the apps directly from the website they install correctly.

Please add the possibility to skip pop-up after forced shutdown. It is quite annoying to have to double-start every single program on reboot. And since the popup requires no interaction / decision, the information might as well be omitted....

Error message says: AppXY did not close properly last time it was run and will cleanup now. ......... Manually restart it

Cleanup, then restart automatically as an option and default!?

Hi people, I need some help with a piece of NSIS code from someone who knows what he's doing.

I have managed to implement automatic resolution detection in my portable app using the code from this thread:
https://portableapps.com/node/31743 namely:

I've created a template custom.nsh for use with PA.c Launcher which has support for quick dotNET checking, Registering DLLs, Services, & Scheduled Tasks. It's somewhat commented as well.

This is for those more hardcore portable junkies who have some NSIS knowledge base in their code bank répertorier. Lol. I figured this could be useful so here it is: Gist

Any room under that rock? I was excited when saw the start of that thread, albeit four years old. Sad to see it fall into disarray with the weenie-goober-ramblings.

I am in need of a portable version of firefox that will run netflix on our home theatre laptop. It is an old Lenovo Thinkpad now running FireFox 53 on Ubuntu 14.04LTS-x64, but for the life of me I cannot get Netflix to run.
