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.

Install/update apps ASAP

Submitted by milsabords on April 24, 2017 - 7:51am

Hi,
Would you consider launching/queuing the install/upate of portable apps right after they have been dowloaded, and removing the paf.exe file once the install/update is finished ?
Doing the downloads and the installs in concurrent threads would drastically reduce the time it takes, and the temporary disk space used by nsq*.tmp.

[Fixed] sPortable dll files have wrong names

Submitted by skip1029 on April 17, 2017 - 11:37am

I think I have found a bug with "sPortable".

I downloaded the latest version (7.35.0.101) and installed to the root drive C:\ of a freshly installed Windows 7 64-bit. When I tried to run it a dialog box says "The program can't start because api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll is missing from your computer."

Hi
I'm trying to run MobaXterm Portable with my own MobaXTerm.ini configuration file. I've made a lot of test and I can't find what's going wrong.
I have this in MobaXterm.ini file withing the Launcher folder:

[Launch]
ProgramExecutable=MobaXTerm\MobaXterm_Personal_10.2.exe
CommandLineArguments='-i %PAL:DataDir%\MobaXTerm.ini'

I've tried with ", ', nothing, '",
Nothing works. Any help?

Thanks

Video App Development Question

Submitted by AAlvez84 on March 29, 2017 - 10:27am

Hi, all!

I'm looking to develop a video app that streams and downloads content, but I'm not sure about the security protocols with regards to protecting the downloaded content from being copied/transferred to another hard drive. Does anyone have any insights about as how to proceed? Thanks.

IOBit Unistaller

Submitted by degiorgi on March 26, 2017 - 5:11pm

IOBit Unistaller leaves unwanted Traces:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\IObit\IObit Uninstaller"
and "C:\ProgramData\IObit\IObitLiveUpdate"

I delete them manually, but the following time I run Uninstaller, they appear again.
Is it possible to repair this?
Thank you
Angel de Giorgi
