Portable App Development

Hi,
I'm trying to make this portable app, it's already 99% portable except: it writes config to a special folder.It's like:
D:\PHOTO\MassiGra\user\joshatt\MassiGra.cfg

You see? "joshatt" is my WINXP username. Guess I should use "USERPROFILE", but how could I filter out the "C:\Documents and Settings\" part? And I also have to consider if this portable app is to be used in a win7 or vista computer, it could be filtering out "C:\Users\",instead.

Any idea?

Is it possible that Pathological is not in the app store?
I didn't have it installed ever before and saw it listed here and noticed it was not in the app store.

Thanks,
PSkilton

Hi everybody, I can't make Portableapp.com Launcher if registry not write before programs running, but, I have .reg with 1772 line, this will take a long time if write a manual to [RegistryValueWrite] ?

please tell me, how to convert (.reg) to [RegistryValueWrite] ?
or is there a simple way for this ?

thanks before.

Not really sure which category this should go into but since many of the developers use Sourceforge to host their apps I thought this would be appropriate in this topic.

Do someone know a program, which can open *.dat files and show me the content of that special file?

Greetings, All!

I just thought I'd post this, since there is basically no effort involved to incorporate it into the current library. There exists a "Portable Python" app that I discovered the other day at http://www.portablepython.com/ .

The installer is not exactly like the PortableApp installer, but it does basically the same thing and the extracted directories basically meet the requirements to be included in the library of apps without any further modifications.

When I placed the files with my other PortableApps, the Suite integrated it without a hickup. Talk about sweet!

A while back, I remember seeing a guide for taking a java application and making it portable. I went through 10 pages of the search function, trying to find it, but it's eluding me. Also, are there any guides to taking a java app, and get it to recognize and use jportable?

I've used the Launcher serveral times successfully, but just ran into an issue. I tried using the Launcher manual located at https://portableapps.com/manuals/PortableApps.comLauncher/, but had trouble understanding it (I have issues with comprehending what I read). I'm trying to make a portable version of TeraCopy v2.27 for personal use, but got an error. The end of the error log file is below.

OK hello again, I want to learn a step by step portable app application very grateful sere .. if a video tutorial will be much better .. greetings

Not sure if I have put this in the right forum, but looks like the NFO viewer iNFekt now has a PortableApps version to go along with the other versions:

AFAIK, this is the first version to feature the PortableApps installer - the previous 0.8.1 only had the standard .zip portable editions.
