Portable App Development

I was scrolling through my directory of PortableApps and I noticed that some apps (RegshotPortable) has 2 AppNamePortable.ini files. One in the Appdata/Launcher folder and the other in the Other/Source folder. Apps like Firefox Portable and the majority of other apps only have one AppNamePortable.ini file in the Source folder. I've also noticed that Regshot Portable has its splash screen in the Launcher folder, but Firefox (and most other apps) has its splash screen in the Source folder. Both apps are built with PortableApps Launcher Format 3.0.

My program requires the MyApp.exe file and the MyAppLibs directory to reside in the same directory location.

I want to use the portable apps installer program to create the install package. I can get it all working except I can not figure out how to get the MyAppLibs directory included in the installer. I did successfully work around this using the [optional component] section - but I do not want the user to need to click to install the necessary library files.

How do I get this additional directory of stuff included in the installer package?

Didn't want to mark it as a bug just yet in case it is something wrong with what I am doing that I just am not seeing.

I have the following code in my launcher.ini for Pencil Project dev test 4:
[Launch]
ProgramExecutable=Pencil\pencil.exe
DirectoryMoveOK=yes
WaitForEXE1=xulrunner.exe
RunAsAdmin=force
RunAsAdmin2000=none
RunAsAdminXP=none
RunAsAdmin2003=none


But on XP I am getting an error when running it as follows:
Error: invalid value 'none' for [Launch]:RunAsAdminXP. Please refer to the Manual for valid values.

do this all portable apps run on linux mint??
i have linux mint on my laptop so,
please guide me through this.
are portable apps running also on Linux Mint??

I still don't get the point of these variables or how they would be used. Currently, I have an app on the desktop. So, PAL:LastPortableAppsBaseDir reads C:\Users\Kenny Williams (not C:\Users\Kenny Williams\Desktop), but what if I move the app to a different directory? It can never check for the \Desktop portion of the location of the file and thus will never be able to change the directory correctly.

Wouldn't it make more sense to remove these two variables and implement PAL:LastPortableAppsDir instead?

Hi,I'm a newbie

I'm having a problem moving ini from userprofile

The ini file is in %USERPROFILE%\FunShion.ini

How do I move it to %PAL:%PAL:DataDir%\settings

I have tried [FilesMove] and [Environment] but it doesn't work

pls help

In connection with the analysis of the plugin Gravure for the program PhotoFiltre 7.0 I received with Regshot the following results: plugin Gravure. Especially in the rows 19-21 and 47-52 I detected in the hive HKCU some added and changed registry keys, which not occur in the section "Keys and values to ignore". How are these entries to be judged in terms of portability?

Forgive me if this has been posted already but I can't seem to find any detailed instructions whatsoever. I have found bits and pieces here and there, but nothing that helps me from start to finish.

I have an application that I want to make portable. It is freeware and I have the .exe for it. I also have installed the portableapps launcher and NSIS portable. I am stuck at trying to create the application portable.

Can anyone please help me with this? I would really appreciate it.

Thank you,

Hello all!

I've finished some pretty major updates to EraserDrop:

- updated Eraser.dll and API to 5.8.8
- improved pre-wipe information in the warning dialog (files, folders, and drives count, total data size)
- proper handling of drives dropped on the target (freespace wipe)
- finally fixed freespace wipe for mounted network drives
- accept alternate commandline option formats: opt, /opt, -opt, --opt
- added /recycle commandline option
- accepts files, folders, and drives on the commandline to initiate GUI-less wipe and close

If for some reason you need to have some portable applications on another partition than other portable applications. uTorrent, repair tools etc.

For Example: If the computer shutdown to reboot, it damages the directories somehow and on next boot, there's no access and there won't be any before it is plugged into a system with windows 7 (all repairs on win XP fails).

Running the current version of portableapps twice each from a different partition would probably mix up stuff like similar icons...
