I'm trying to make EarMaster school portable. But I don't know how to setting for registry in the 'applaunch.ini' file. I have already read manual and some tutorial but it seems useless for me. Any one please give me some guides! Thanks all. Here is the registry change:

Zip backup file name

Submitted by sinfjb on April 18, 2012 - 9:28pm

Hi,

Could a options be added to PortableApps
so the zip backups files could be like

labeldrivename-2012-04-18-Documents.zip instead of
PortableAppsBackup-2012-04-18-Documents.zip

and

labeldrivename-2012-04-18-Drive.zip instead of
PortableAppsBackup-2012-04-18-Drive.zip

With such a options, many USB-KEY with different label could be made
to the same network drive.

LibreOffice 3.5.2 package does not install

Submitted by Joerg on April 17, 2012 - 9:57am

Hi guys,

there is an issue with yesterdays release:
The installer does not allow to install the package.

I downloaded LibreOfficePortable_3.5.2_MultilingualNormal.paf.exe and executed it.
When I come to the step where I should choose a folder, the installer does not allow me to continue.
I for example tried the folder
C:\Programme\LibreOfficePortable (I installed version 3.5.0 there before)

When I hit “Install” it says “The selected target directory is invalid.
Please choose a valid directory. [C:\Programme]”

RegShot

I need someone to help me out using RegShot, possibly a 1 on 1 thing through the IRC chat. If someone can give me a time that they will be online to assist me, that would be great.

My timezone is eastern so take that into consideration.
