Portable App Development

I'm trying to keep a clean system and avoid installations as much as possible but sometimes Ι encounter some necessary requirements that force installations of runtimes and 3rd parry drivers. Is there some way to implement those without installing them? For example the visual studio runtimes (vcredist_x64) is one i need right now.

hai,i am creating portable apps,i created 3 so far,but if i copy it to a new directory,then run it,the directorymove dosnt happen,instead,the main app recreates its settings on startup,so why this beahviour,if i run it from the same location,it works flawelessely.(it moves the data to and fro correctly)

outline=directory move gets broken if i change path(i.e the app is not portable)

Hello!

This my portable software:
http://www.languageindicator.com/

Language Indicator is a keyboard layout indicator. The program is freeware.
I will be happy to your suggestions, questions.

I'm trying the platform, and I was expecting substantial improvements in version 12 beta, then nothing.

If I can afford a few suggestions:

1) Adding configurations in the options menu:
 1a) StartMinimized = True
 1b) Similar to "RemainVisible = True" but with the option focus on (to be able to launch multiple applications in the foreground while maintaining the pitcher until you move out of it).
 1c) The list of applications that start automatically with the option to suspend them without deleting them from the list (example: dtaskmanagerportable \ dtaskmanagerportable.exe = 0)

This one guy posted in the forums asking to remove a prompt and I thought I'd comment out a few lines and post it for him.

I have configured and compile Tcl/Tk v8.60 on a USB flash drive that appears to work on whatever Windows 2000 and later operating system without leaving behind files. It's very nice to have a portable scripting language that also works with other portable apps such as Notepad++ and Console v2.00.

One of the Tcl/Tk Google+ community members has asked me to create a portable app version of the Tcl/Tk toolkit. Because I haven't created a true portable application (ie. installer, directory structure and so on) I am a reticent to say "yes". But, I'm willing to give it a go.

I'm currently working on a program called DocEar Portable and it has the option of relying on a PDF reader. In general, all it does is look at the ones installed on the system and then lets you pick, but I was able to track down the line in the preferences file and I was wondering if there was a way of using the custom.nsh file to see if Foxit or Sumatra Portable are installed and putting them in the preferences file by default. Below is the preferences part. Any help would be nice, if possible.

to create new, higher levels, consider adding a new color (dark green, light purple or lavender, etc.) or maybe a wild card (rainbow colored or sparking)

I'm the developer of WaveShop, and I wanted to reply to suggestions made by John T. Haller (via email in Feb.), and also apprise you of recent updates to the app; I hope this is the appropriate forum. John asked me about donations.
