Portable App Development

I have more installed applications than would fit in the list, so I can't see those at the bottom. Scrolling with the mouse wheel doesn't work. Should this be fixed?

Hi everyone, and sorry for my English please. I'm from Russia.
I got some trouble with my own-created portable apps on Windows 10 x64.
Every program I created on Windows 8.1 x64 run with no problem and troubles on real and virtual Windows 7/8.1 x86/x64.
But when I try to launch my own portable apps on Windows 10 TP x64, I have nothing. Programs not starting.
When I launch my AppNamePortable.exe all I can see is just a new folder Data and nothing else. No errors, no warnings. Just nothing except Data folder with data inside.

Is there a procedure used to vet the developers who create apps to download from here? Especially I am interested to know whether these apps are thoroughly checked for security against backdoors and such. What is to keep a nefarious person from creating a stealthy vulnerability into one of these programs, to which anyone downloading it would then fall victim? Thanks.

My first try with portable apps was a disaster because I had no idea that a group of such small programs would take so long to install. There was no way to stop when I needed to leave for class and doing so unfortunately broke the flash drive. On my second try I went to install a smaller list, and it still takes forever and now I today I was again in a situation where I had to let it finish or take it. I had to risk letting it get stolen and there was nothing I could do about it.

Good morning.

I have a program which I want to make portable. By installing, copying 4 files within a folder (MyApp) in the ProgramData directory windows 7, two configuration files are .txt extención, one of .chm help and other settings (Font.dat). I tried several ways but run not find the path of the files, I get the following message: C:\ProgramData\MyApp\AppData\Font.dat was not found.

As I can access these files?
Where is the mistake?

[Launch]
ProgramExecutable=MyApp\MyApp.exe
SinglePortableAppInstance=true
DirectoryMoveOK=yes

Hi, all.

I am facing a problem with Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition, v38.0 or v38.0.1 (or ...), because I can't start this portable app in my machine, Dell Precision T3610, with MS Windows 7 Professional.

I have a non-portable installation of Mozilla Firefox v38.0 in this machine. This non-portable app can to be started, without problems, in this machine.

But, Mozilla SeaMonkey, Portable Edition, v2.33.1, can to be started, without problems, in this machine, too.

Best Regards,

DSFB.

Hi folks,

I tried to make my first app portable. After creating proper help.html, appinfo.ini and icons, I tried adding a launcher with the Portableapps.com Launcher Generator.

Well, the launcher is generated and starts the correct .exe file, but in the wrong directory.

I mean this: Imagine these three files:
C:\out\launcher.exe
C:\out\MyCoolAppname\real.exe
C:\out\MyCoolAppname\some.ini

I belive this is the right place for this topic, if that's not the case please feel free to move it to the right place or notify me where should i place it, and i will do so.

Portable apps is a great tool for almost anybody, but has far has organization is concerned, it is not very intuitive.

i mean it has 300 or more applications, but (in my case i installed them all) when i try to search a specific apps, i get lost.
