11:19:59 <rr_> I downloaded the portable apps installer from the site. do I have to install the portable apps installer onto a USB flash directly? or install it on my windows desktop folder and then copy it to usb flash?
11:28:28 <Gizmokid2005> rr_: either or. It's better if you install the platform directly to the drive
11:28:32 <Gizmokid2005> but it doesn't really matter.

11:33:02 <GizmoBot> ZachThibeau is the main developer of PChat and is a developer with PortableApps.com
11:42:24 <rr_> ok. thanks. it worked. my antivirus was blocking me from installing directly into the usb.
11:42:43 <Gizmokid2005> that will happen. Glad it's working for you.
11:44:15 <rr_> can i use this platform to bundle only open source software or can i use it to bundle closed source software of my company and distribute it to our customers also?
11:46:58 <Gizmokid2005> rr_: I can't say for sure, that's a licensing question, but this page might have some answers: http://portableapps.com/support/portable_apps_suite though you may need to use the contact page and reach out to the main developer/owner
11:47:09 <Gizmokid2005> rr_: this page has that information: http://portableapps.com/about/contact
11:47:19 <rr_> ok. thanks
12:19:33 <rr_> is there a way to drop in a batch file into the usb to be launched from usb - this bat file will be using one of the installed apps, such as jPortable for launching java apps.
12:21:41 <Gizmokid2005> You can put whatever files you want on the drive, as for autorun? no, windows has disabled USB autorun for years now
12:22:22 <rr_> ok. once i copy my .bat file, can i give a shortcut to launch the same from PortableApp.com menu?
12:23:08 <Gizmokid2005> rr_: that's covered in the first link I gave you, specifically: http://portableapps.com/support/portable_apps_suite#addingotherapps
12:30:44 <rr_> ok. will try out. thanks
12:56:07 <rr_> I have installed one app called jPortable. And in another application (MyApp), i am writing a .bat file. I want to refer to the java exe available in jPortable in MyApp. Is that possible?
12:56:40 <rr_> what path will i have to use to refer to the java from jPortable app?

13:11:59 <rr_> jPortable gives a launcher called JavaPortableLauncher.exe. When I refer this exe in MyApp's bat file, it is not able to find this
13:15:29 <rr_> looks like i have to give full path or a relative path to this exe file. not sure how to do this?
