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!

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

Does Portable Apps Support Windows Active Accessiblity ?

Submitted by stroyer17 on June 14, 2016 - 4:06pm

The developers of this software http://www.imgpresents.com/wordcomplete/wordcomplete.htm wanted me to contact the developer over here to ask if Portable Apps supports Windows Active Accessibility. I couldn't get their software to run correctly in the few portable apps that I use (Maxthon Browser & QBittorrent).

Using and Updating Multiple Copies of the Same App

Submitted by 3 cheers 4 JT Haller on April 28, 2016 - 11:22pm

Hi John and the team,

Firstly, thank you for adding the ability to use and update multiple copies of the same app. I have just one small request:

Rather than having to rename the nth copy of an app to AppNamePortable_Copy_n, would it be possible to amend the app slightly so we can use user specified folder names so that we don't have to keep a spreadsheet to remember that, for example, FirefoxPortable_copy_6 is actually Firefox_banking?
