I keep getting "Please select a valid portable app's base directory to create an installer for" even though I've based my folder structure and inf changes from the 2.4 template. 14:13:13 In case this is read later, I had attempted this before without following the template and got further than this. Found another project that mentioned the appinfo.ini file so I copied it from my previous project and now I'm back to where I was stuck before. The Installer is looking for a launcher it seems. But who creates this launcher and from what? 14:14:22 wildstal: did you go through this: http://portableapps.com/manuals/PortableApps.comLauncher/ 14:14:45 the launcher is the piece that actually runs the apps 14:17:41 Thanks for the response Gizmokid2005. I've been attempting to scour the manual for what I'm missing. Since this is a really simple app, I haven't needed anything for the registry. My launcher.ini is also very simple. Am I supposed to copy any launcher from another app and just rename it? I didn't see this part in the manual, but I suppose could have missed it. I've only seen the info on the 14:18:19 nope, you need to have a launcher built for that app, even simple apps need one. Even if it's as simple as launching the app and closing itself, it needs to have one. 14:18:41 your message was also cutoff at " I've only seen the info on the" 14:19:02 ini files, and folder structure. Can't seem to location how I actually creat this launcher and although I've seen the NSIS program mentioned a few times, I don't know if this is how I create the launcher or if the portable apps launcher does this for me some how? 14:19:37 sorry portable apps launcher = portable apps installer 14:20:28 I read on a forum I believe that creating the launcher.ini was supposed to signal to the installer to create the launcher, but this does not seem to be correct? 14:21:14 wildstal: if you look at the link I sent you, that details everything you need to create a launcher. 14:21:53 You would install the "PortableApps.com Launcher" to create it, but you need to have the correct files to do so. It can be found here: http://portableapps.com/apps/development/portableapps.com_launcher 14:23:08 ah, I must have been confusing the platform and installer for everything I needed and not realizing I needed this 3rd part. Thank you. 14:27:48 It was a piece of cake after I downloaded that last part. Let that be a lesson for me on how reading documentation too fast (even if done multiple times) can make a project more difficult than it should be. :) Thanks again Gizmokid2005. 14:28:06 no problem wildstal :) 15:06:47 *** wildstal has quit (Quit: KVIrc 4.2.0 Equilibrium http://www.kvirc.net/) 15:40:21 *** Sk1llSh0t has quit (Quit: ZNC - http://znc.in) 15:43:33 *** Sk1llSh0t (~you.were@railed.by.sk1llsh0t.com) has joined #portableapps 15:55:24 *** Bry8Star{T2 has quit (Ping timeout: 276 seconds) 16:00:09 *** Bry8Star{T2 (~Bry8Star-@gateway/tor-sasl/bry8star-2) has joined #portableapps 17:30:48 *** davis776 has quit (Remote host closed the connection) 17:31:18 *** davis776 (~D@31.31.78.86) has joined #portableapps 17:37:02 *** pa_9077 (c0771c09@gateway/web/freenode/ip.192.119.28.9) has joined #portableapps 17:37:03 Hi pa_9077!

If you do not receive an answer wait a bit longer or consider posting it on the forums. 17:37:41 Hi guys, I'm just getting started with portable apps, and am confused as to how to update them. utorrent is asking me if i want to install the latest stable version 17:37:54 should i click yes? will it install in a portable fashion? 17:38:14 pa_9077: use the portableapps updater 17:38:20 or check the app page on the website 17:38:33 is this portable apps updater a seperate application? 17:38:48 it's built into the platform 17:38:56 aka the menu 17:40:57 and if i don't go this route, i should just download the newest paf.exe and overwrite my existing installation? 17:41:05 yes, exactly. 17:41:13 the installers are designed to not touch the data folders 17:41:20 so installing over is the standard way to upgrade a portable app 17:41:32 ok, so i'm assuming natively updating an app is a no go 17:42:31 in most cases, no. Some apps are alright with it, using built-in-app updaters, but it's safer not to use them/ 17:42:44 good to know. thanks for your help! 17:43:16 you're welcome 18:07:58 *** pa_9077 has quit (Ping timeout: 245 seconds) 19:06:10 *** Itzekocke (c2a6cd33@gateway/web/freenode/ip.194.166.205.51) has joined #portableapps 19:06:30 Hi all, this is Itzekocke. 19:07:10 I have on (probably) easy question: I recently read that disposable email addresses are not accepted to register at portableapps.com.
