Hi there!

When starting Cygwin Portable on Windows 8 using the PortableApps menu two additional, unwanted console windows open. When starting it manually/directly using the CygwinPortable.exe in the directory '\PortableApps\CygwinPortable' only the Cygwin terminal opens.

I noticed this when I upgraded to Windows 8 - on Windows 7 it does work normally when starting it using the menu.

I've played around with the launcher configuration, especially with the options 'HideCommandLineWindow' and 'RunAsAdmin' but it doesn't seem to affect it.

Greetings,

I am trying to create a launcher for ePSXe (http://www.epsxe.com/).
I know there has been brief mention of this application here- (https://portableapps.com/node/4347). The forum topic has 2 posts, one mentioning that it's already portable (As far as files go, anyway) and that the registry should be something easy to deal with. The post is also 8 years old, leading me to believe no one else desires the PA.c form of this application. The second post mentions to the Original Poster to use a different program.

I'm currently updating one app that has 2 executable files.

I already seen the docs but cloud find more details info about the appicon file naming and cardinality.

In the docs we have:
[Control]
Icons=2
Start=AppNamePortable.exe
Start1=AppNamePortable.exe
Name1=AppName Portable
Start2=AppNamePortable2.exe
Name2=AppName Portable Other Part

So I assume we need at least 6 files (appicon.ico, appicon_16.png, appicon_32.png, appicon2.ico, appicon2_16.png, appicon2_32.png). But in this case the executable from Name1 will not have an icon on the PortableApp menu.

Is Multilingual still working fine?
Aren't we supposed to choose the app's language on one of the installers steps?

I generated an installer from something like:
[appinfo.ini]
...
Language=Multilingual
...

[installer.ini]
...
[Languages]
ARABIC=true
BELARUSSIAN=true
...

["Launcher".ini]
...
[Language]
Base=%PortableApps.comLocaleName%
DefaultIfNotExists=English

[LanguageStrings]
Arabic=ar
Belarussian=be
...

Hi all,

Is there any way of making an App depend on another? i.e. a way of making an App installation require some other to be installed, check if they are installed and install them if not present?

I'm talking about SuperPutty as it currently bundles Putty and Kitty with it and as we have them already Portabelized it's not good to be bundling them again inside Superputty. It's also more work to do...

I remember of seeing something like that is the beginning of PortableApps, not sure about the App...

Can anyone help on this?

Tks,

How to copy the file in PortableApps.comInstallerCustom.nsh?
I want to copy when installer is running,
from "/appnamePortable/app/appname/res/aaa.png" to"/appnamePortable/app/appname/res/menu/bbb.png".
How to write PortableApps.comInstallerCustom.nsh?

So I have all the files for my portable app in the PortableApps.com Format Specification (3.0). Now how do I package them up into a installer?

So, i just got started and thought it would be nice to be able to carry around a portable linux distro on my flash drive, so i tried to make a portable QemuManager. I haven't got to test it much, but here's a link to the installer if you'd like to give it a test-run.

I know it runs, at least.

Hi All,

Anyone working on a portable version of RabbitMQ (Messaging that just works)?

Would require Erlang too. Very interested in a portable version running server as stand alone application instead of windows service. Willing to help out with repackaging and testing. New to portable application building. There are existing windows installation packages out there for setting up rabbitMQ and Erlang.
