PAL & temp folders

Submitted by prapper on October 23, 2011 - 10:48am

Secondary instances (as opposed to secondary launches) create the folder AppnamePortable\Data\Temp. Is that right?

Also, if launched from another portable app (ie: portable file manager), the app's plugins folder is in the file manager's temp folder:

[PortableApps.comLauncher]
Status=running
PluginsDir=C:\DOCUME~1\xxx\LOCALS~1\Temp\Explorer++PortableTemp\nshFD.tmp

So if the file manager is closed first, it can't delete its own temp folder.

Tested with:
FoxitReaderPortable (secondary launch goes to first instance).

Portable Lotus Organizer

Hi, I am a newcomer here and have a question: I have been using and still use the Lotus Organizer 5/6.0 since 15+ years on all Win platforms... and it works even on Win7. The program is good since it even communicates with the Nokia Suite of today!!!
I'd love to have this, and probably it could be a nice addition for your site...
Since there has been no new version from IBM? for a number of years, I wonder if this would be a portable app to make? Is that possible, and what is needed to do that?
Thanks for your attention.

Change SMPlayer Portable to faster lightweight MPUI-HCB

Submitted by theshu on October 13, 2011 - 4:30am

Hello Community!

I've used MPUI-HCB over SMPlayer now for quite a while and I'm deeply impressed by its performance and usability.
The Interface shows up within a second even on slow machines and there are no depencies (all you need is mplayer.exe and mpui.exe)
Take a look here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mpui-hcb/

What do you think? Give it a try.
I also recommend disabling the automatic popup for subtitle-download in the options.

Multi OptionalComponents

Submitted by david_pi on October 8, 2011 - 1:47am

Excuse me. I have searched the forum but cannot find answer. So I post here.
It seems installer.ini only support one OptionalComponent.

[OptionalComponents]
OptionalComponents=true
OptionalSectionTitle=XXX

Is it possible add more Optional Components without modifying the .nsi file?
Like: OptionalSectionTitle2=XXX OptionalSectionTitle3=XXX ,etc...
Thanks!

Hi I am a newbie here,

this question might have been answered already.
I searched but couldn't find the answer tho.

I am trying to make a payed software (registry workshop) from torchsoft.com portable.
It's only for personal use and I will not release it so please don't even ask.:)

Now to my problem,

I have added
RunAsAdmin=force
RunAsAdminXP=none
to my launcher ini file, forcing the application to start with elevated rights on everything after windows xp.

Launcher Generator Use?

Submitted by miksmith on October 7, 2011 - 6:34am

Hi

I installed Launcher Generator (and NSIS) and then pointed it at the directory of an app I wanted to portabilize. I then get the following error:

ERROR: C:\Program Files\Genbox Family History\App\AppInfo\appinfo.ini doesn't exist!

Am I doing something wrong in its use at all?

thanks

mike
