The Portable Freeware Collection Forums

This is a great program. It needs an entry for startup directory as some apps won't take arguments properly when used in Vista. FreeCommander is one example.

I'm wondering if anyone knows of a freeware / open source preferably portable app for the Windows environment that can build Mac .dmg files. Peazip can take them apart but that's all. There is a great portable open source project for Mac's at http://www.freesmug.org/ . It's just the germ of an idea ...

Since nobody else has mentioned it I must be missing something. The only version I can find is 1.75. The website says 1.75 is the current version and that is the version I get when downloading from the link here or at the site.

I don't see any way to save settings in the application folder. This registry entry is where the settings are saved: \\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HSTools\IPMsgEng. There are command line arguments but not one listed for this problem. That doesn't mean it is not there as the readme is a bit sketchy.

I can't find any way to provide feedback to the developer at hero.com.au so I will try here. It's a great program but the text goes wacky when the window is resized. Bits and pieces of the screen text appear in the expanded area. I cannot find a refresh so something else must selected and then come ...

Not to belabor the subject but I want to learn. His readme called for a download from microsoft and installation in the OS. I don't ever remember having to do that so is the runtime usually part of the program download. If it is not included with the program how can that program be called portable?

I don't know what =D means, probably duh. I'm glad for the education in spite of the emarrassment shifting to me. I thought a poll would stay at the top of the thread. I didn't know it's part of the post. Queue you did not mention C++, just settings. Am I also mistaken about that. His readme called ...

I feel moved to say something here. While I don't think this app belongs here since it requires the installation of Visual C++, the treatment seems a bit rough. He has been civil and polite even when his work is called crap and he is trying to adjust and learn. It is clear that he does not quite get...

Thank you both for the help. I am using what I think is the most current version of the Universal Extractor so that explains it.

Thanks for your reply. The instructions normally follow extract the setup file like in the XMedia Recode update posted today. Not in the forum but on the main site listings.

I have seen instructions here that frequently say to delete [NSIS].nsi but I have yet to see a file with that name. I have tried unhiding protected system files but still nothing. I'm sure I'm missing something so if someone would enlighten me it would be wonderful. Thanks.

If someone lends me their truck for some hauling then, at a minimum, I will return it in same condition as I found it. Usually, for me at least, clean and with a full tank of gas. I takes less than 10 minutes to go through a car wash. My point is that I do those things out of courtesy. They are poli...

Too bad the Lexar Lightning was not in his test group.

I am no expert but I offer my observations taken after a great deal of testing. In general, larger drives are slower. The best evidence for this is the fact that Hwang's Law failed this year after holding for eight years straight. The reason it failed is the growing gulf between capacity and speed. ...

I also think this launcher has potential. In particular because it is the most advanced launcher I have seen that runs in Wine and Darwine in Linux and on a Mac. So far Qsel has been the best I could find. Unfortunately it has a show-stopping flaw. It will not retain the program icons when it is mov...
