I have a portable Lyx 2.2.1

Submitted by kewapo on July 28, 2016 - 5:43am

¡¡¡ I succeeded !!!

I have in my pen a portable Lyx, version 2.2.1 THE LAST ONE.
I want to share it with all of you, but don't know the way to upload it.
You can test it before sharing with the people (I want to test it in more computers to ensure that works: Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 10...).

Tell me the way and you can enjoy with lyx.
It's a very huge compressed file, more than 1 Gb with miktex portable and Jabref too.

x86 app read/write/backup on Win64 HKLM registry

Submitted by Alyx on July 4, 2016 - 6:50am

Hi all,

I created a launcher for app which write settings to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\AppName\key
and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\AppName\key

Unfortunately when running on Win64 the HKLM reg keys are not backup to portableapp settings and host system registry HKLM keys are not deleted.

On Win32, portableapp backup and deletion is fine. I read around seeing I need to use Custom code. Hopefully someone can help me?

Thanks in advance!

VirtualBox not working

Submitted by An Apped decision on June 28, 2016 - 7:04pm

When I tried to make a portable version of VirtualBox, when I use the launcher it doesn't work, giving an error saying it "failed to create a VirtualBox Client COM object", and then the application terminates. It seems the portable version was piggybacking off the non-portable installation I used to make it, as this error popped up when I uninstalled the non-portable version. How can I fix this?

Open "Documents", "Musik", ... at other location then default

Hi!
Can you add a stetting to configure where the link goes when I click at "Documents", "Music", etc. in the main PA Window? Or is there already an equivalent setting?
The reason is, that I have my documents inside an encrypted volume and I want to access them there when I click on the button at the PA window. The volume is always mounted at the same character (V:\). Therefore it should work everywhere.
Thanks and Regards
Det
