08:31:45 <jason404^> I am trying to make a simple launcher which executes either a 32 or 64 bit version of a program and exits
08:31:51 *** jason404^ is now known as jason404
08:33:08 <jason404> and I want both version to share a config folder, which is normally a subfolder within the app folders
08:33:17 <jason404> how would I do this?
08:47:39 <ChrisMorgan> jason404: the PortableApps.com Launcher 2.1 has good support for 32-bit and 64-bit differentiation. Read its manual for more info.
08:48:27 <jason404> ChrisMorgan: I know about ProgramExecutable and ProgramExecutable64
08:48:38 <ChrisMorgan> So you use them.
08:49:07 <jason404> But I do not know how to make the launcher redirect the app folder's contained config folder to a shared folder. is it possible?
08:49:26 <jason404> app folders', rather
08:51:19 <ChrisMorgan> See the bottom of http://portableapps.com/manuals/PortableApps.comLauncher/topics/64-bit/
08:52:00 <jason404> thanks, I'll have a look
08:52:00 <ChrisMorgan> There's better support for doing it coming in PAL 2.2; you could use the development version if you want.
08:52:33 <jason404> oh nice. is there documentation for it yet?
08:53:39 <jason404> and where would I get it from?
08:58:12 <jason404> I do not understand how that link you gave me shows how to do it. The example does not seem to be about sharing a configuration file or folder
08:58:35 <jason404> ..as both paths are differemt
09:04:25 <jason404> hmmmn. I suppose I can use it this week, judging by the yesterdays' status update

12:50:01 <GizmoBot> ...
13:04:47 <ChrisMorgan> kAlug: yep, customColors is correct. That's what I dealt with when I updated ConvertAll Portable to 0.5.0b with PAL (but John released it before I sent it to him, and then I forgot to send him what I'd done.)
13:06:27 *** ZachThibeau has quit (Quit: Leaving)
13:06:53 <ChrisMorgan> A few differences in what I did: (a) I used [Environment]:APPDATA=%PAL:DataDir%\settings; it worked correctly and ConvertAll can't spawn subprocesses, so changing APPDATA is OK. (b) I didn't have SinglePortableAppInstance=true, do you need it? Avoid it if possible. (c) Language switching is with the LANG environment variable (but matches PortableApps.comLocaleCode2 rather than glibc)

13:11:20 <pa_9129> hello
13:12:26 <kAlug> hi pa_9129
13:13:15 <pa_9129> I have a question about using PirtableApps.com Installer and Launcher
13:14:32 <pa_9129> can I use these for business, if I release it for free?
13:14:58 <ChrisMorgan> pa_9129: yep
13:15:24 <pa_9129> thanks ChrisMorgan, thats all for now :)
13:16:04 <ChrisMorgan> For your own personal use, the GPL allows you to do whatever you want. You can use them with GPL-compatible things as well. And we have added exceptions allowing their use in non-GPL-compatible open source and freeware software, and commercial usage with contacting us.
13:17:03 <pa_9129> but commercial usage is only I want to get payed for? if i understand right
13:17:29 <ChrisMorgan> Yes. If it's for personal use (internal company use should be fine too) that's OK.
13:19:32 <pa_9129> it should be delivered to a customer, but its only a tool some hardware they payed for
13:20:20 <pa_9129> but its only a tool _for_ some hardware they payed for

13:21:53 <ChrisMorgan> pa_9129: if it's coming bundled with it, that would count as commercial usage; you'd be best to contact the business development address and confirm that you're OK to use it - http://portableapps.com/about/contact#business
13:21:54 <pa_1075> portableapps files are currently removed from my computer by sophos antivirus...
13:22:15 <ChrisMorgan> pa_1075: take a look at http://portableapps.com/support#false_positive
13:24:12 <pa_9129> ok, thanks for ur advice
13:24:14 <pa_1075> thank you. i also thought that these files are not infected and i have contacted sophos. just wanted to inform. Mal/EncPk-OJ'

23:02:06 <DannyMuniz> hey, how you doing?
23:07:31 <kAlug> I think I've found another bug in PAL.
23:07:47 <DannyMuniz> ahhh
23:07:59 <DannyMuniz> make sure to report it! LOL
23:10:23 <kAlug> Actually, I'll fix it myself. I just need to check with ChrisMorgan how to do that (I have a couple ideas right now).
23:10:42 <DannyMuniz> cool
23:11:48 <kAlug> "I have an app that stores it settings.ini in windows directory on win xp" - What happens when you run it from a limited account?
23:12:50 <DannyMuniz> ah i need to make it move the ini from c:\windows on xp only i have it ready on vista but not on xp
23:13:07 <DannyMuniz> how do i do that in xp?
23:14:23 <kAlug> Try %WINDIR%
23:14:38 <DannyMuniz> ok
23:15:09 <kAlug> Or maybe %SystemRoot% - let me check MSDN
23:15:18 <DannyMuniz> k
23:18:09 <kAlug> Hmm... there's no difference for WinNT systems, so you can use anyone of them.
23:18:19 <DannyMuniz> ok
