Portable App Development

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...

How Can I Make A .exe File For Apps And how i make splash screen for that please reply me !!

I was wandering why not to develop/use a dock as a launcher for our portableapps suite...
It could be a "plus", not a menu replacement, but a dock is more friendly than a start menu i think.
Does anyone ever thought about it??

are there people that have successfully created an portable os?
like windows xp/7 or an Linux distribution like ubuntu?
that can run from an usb as a boot or in windows as an .exe?

Hi all,

I have a problem with the registry.
I have a game that writes into install=HKLM\SOFTWARE\makername\gamename.
The backup and restoring using PAL all works on Windows 32 bit, but on a 64 bit it goes into HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\makername\gamename.
The game can't find it: errors, nothing works anymore.

So I thought to use custom code to disable redirection with "SetRegView 64".
I don't know if it works, since I don't know how to do the backuping, importing and restoring in NSIS, like PAL does.

That's the problem and what I tried so far.
Any help please?

Hi,

The app store integration with the portable apps launcher (Get More Apps; Check For Updates) is a fantastic idea. Now, as I've started to portabilize a number of apps for my personal and professional use such as:

• MediathekView: A portable java client to watch and download German free-tv
• MitTec Icon Explorer: A tool to extract icons
• CPU-Z: A system information tool

John, et al.:

I'm planning to put up a dev test of the Android SDK, but it requires openJDK to run.

Accordingly, I'm wondering as to the status of OpenJDK Portable. The last reference I've found to it is in the Eclipse 3.7.1 thread, where it has been indicated as being in testing. Are there any updates that can be made at this time, or should I be bundling the JDK for now?
