Portable App Development

Is it possible to paste *.dll files in the system folder system32 of the Windows OS by the usage of the following code:

[FilesMove]
xyz.dll=C:\Windows\system32

Or will this intention eventually prohibited through administrator privileges?

How do the AppNamePortable.exe launchers work, and how do they point to the correct application to launch? I want to know how it works so I can package apps more easily in the future. The launchers do seem to work as .exe shortcuts to whatever executable starts the software, but I don't know how they point to the proper file. How do they work?

Hello,

i installed portable apps on my USB-Stick successfully.
After i put it in i got a windows 7 splash screen which let me choose an action (import videos and pictures, open folder, ...).
I always had to start PortableApps manually by starting the "Start.exe" in the top folder.

Isnt it possible to autostart it when i put my usb-stick in the port?

i edited the autorun.inf as following:

[Autorun]
Icon=PortableApps\PortableApps.com\App\Graphics\usb.ico
Label=PortableApps.com
open=Start.exe

But nothing happend. I always get the splash screen.

I was thinking that maybe the awesome people here could create a Adobe flash and Macromedia flash portable client.

it might solve some main issues with updating the main install on the host computer if you can't update it or the website says it is updated but when u go to play a youtube video it says to update Flash player even though the site says that it is fully updated!!!

hope u can do this cause i think people would like it

Hello,

I am new with portable apps and I am trying to write my first NSIS script. I would like the app Ekiga to be portable:

Section "Main"
ReadEnvStr $APPDATAPATH "APPDATA"
CopyFiles /FILESONLY $EXEDIR\Data\settings\ekiga.conf $APPDATAPATH\ekiga.conf
FileOpen $0 $EXEDIR\App\Ekiga\ekiga.bat w
FileWrite $0 "set PATH=%PATH%;$EXEDIR\GTK2-Runtime\bin$\n"
FileWrite $0 "cd App\Ekiga$\n"
FileWrite $0 "ekiga.exe$\n"
FileClose $0
StrCpy $EXECSTRING "$EXEDIR\App\Ekiga\ekiga.bat"
Exec $EXECSTRING

i think that this program should be made into a full portable app

Hey there. I'm having a strange issue with my app ProTeXt Portable. After fixing a bug reported by a user where I needed to change AppInfo.ini a little, I noticed that the icons don't show up for either part of the application. I rebuilt making sure that the icons were included properly in the .exe's and still they show up with no icon in the launcher.

I am not a programmer, i just come across this scrip on the web, i am checking if the portable.com launcher will add this scrip for service apps

create service script save as CreatService.vbs
=============================================
Const OWN_PROCESS = 16
Const NOT_INTERACTIVE = False
Const NORMAL_ERROR_CONTROL = 2

strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" & _
"{impersonationLevel=Impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")

Set objService = objWMIService.Get("Win32_BaseService")
errReturn = objService.Create("DbService", _
"NAME", _

I'm currently working on BabelPad and have hit a roadblock for language switching. I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to write some custom NSIS (which I haven't really touched before), but just wanted to see what is the best way to do it.
