Portable App Development

Hi all,

I use Portable Apps with windows and Ubuntu (with Wine), and since few days, I can't open Thunderbird or Firefox Portable. I have an error message who propose me to tell to wine support...

Is it normal?

Hi,

I found the bugtracker here
https://portableapps.com/development/bugs

but I can not see any possibility to create new bugreports - searching this forum for "create bugreport" does not bring up any valuable information, so I am asking here...

I am generally really enthusiastic about the whole portableapps project - the new version with automatic updates is something microsoft should have invented 10 years before, it is really fantastic for many real life applications like mobile usage, privacy enhancement, administrative easiness, many more.

Adopted a program called AppName generated the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\AppName. This registry key may be exported to the file appname.reg.

In the file AppnamePortable.ini I create the following 2 sections:

[Activate]
Registry=true

[RegistryKeys]
appname=HKCU\Software\AppName

Is it necessary for me before the first start of the portable program, that I insert an empty file named appname.reg in the folder Data\settings?

Hello, anyone know how to use [RegistryValueWrite] for this situation:


[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\SharedDLLs]
"C:\\PortableApps\\NeroPortable\\App\\VC\\msdia100.dll"=dword:00000001
"C:\\PortableApps\\NeroPortable\\App\\VC\\msdia80.dll"=dword:00000001



[RegistryValueWrite]
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\SharedDLLs\%PAL:AppDir%%PAL:PackagePartialDir:DoubleBackSlash%=REG_DWORD:1


but this is incorrect..
can anyone help?

Is there any way of making an add-on to an existing portable app?
I'm making a portable bochs and thinking of having the included dlxlinux folder as an optional add-on to save on space (from 9mb to 4mb).

Hey guys.. i've been pulling my hair out these past few days attempting my first language selection from the installer.

I've dissected LibreOffice, WinDjView for help.

Im making a PAF launcher/installer for Adobe Photoshop.. im sick of the bloat it comes with.
This is for my own personal use.. so no copyright infringement will be shared here.

But .. here's my custom.nsh, which i have placed in Launcher:

And here's part of my Launcher.ini (the part that's relevant):

Hello.

PortableApps.com Launcher put RuntimeData in Data directory, and check it on startup to know if last exit is a good exit. In some case this may cause problems. For example:

• I run a portable app on computer A, the app store settings in registry and some data in AppData. I pull out the flash drive so the app didn't do a restore, and the RuntimeData file remain in data directory.
• Then I run the app on computer B, it found the runtimedata and do a restore. So my data and the local installed app on computer B are corrupted.

Hello everyone.. i have searched this entire website, Wiki, and the Internet to try and figure this out... but so far am unsuccessful.

My app is pretty much done but i want to implement the language.
I've done language with INI successfully.

This is my first XML and the style is completely different than the examples I've found on here and the Internet.

Here's the XML:

If anyone can help me figure out the:
[FileWrite1] & [LanguageFile]

I created a portable version of the R language for statistical computing and graphics. R is available as Free Software under the terms of the Free Software Foundation's GNU General Public License in source code form. There is a portable version of R available from http://sourceforge.net/projects/rportable/files/ but it is hard to find and has not been updated recently. I was wondering if we could add this app to the portableapps.com site.

The appinfo for the version I built is:

[Format]
Type=PortableApps.comFormat
Version=2.0

[Details]
Name=R Portable
AppID=R-Portable
