yaP does not have if(-else) conditions, it can only differentiate between 32/64bit.
- You can always ask for user input...

That's a great tip, I haven't thought of such usage of {USERTEXT}, thanks!
You can enter "ANSI" or "Unicode" in the pop-up input box.
Perhaps it's even better to rename "RegshotPortableUnicode.exe" to "RegshotPortable.exe", so if you don't type anything to the input box, the unicode version will be launched. Otherwise you need to type "ansi" only.
Code: Select all
application = App\RegshotPortable{USERTEXT}.exe
Perhaps it's even better to rename "RegshotPortableUnicode.exe" to "RegshotPortable.exe", so if you don't type anything to the input box, the unicode version will be launched. Otherwise you need to type "ansi" only.

The reason that I need to launch ANSI is because Unicode version won't works on Windows 8.1 (it seems for me).tproli wrote:That's a great tip, I haven't thought of such usage of {USERTEXT}, thanks!

Dear tproli,
I have tried TorrentRover - a torrent search engine for torrent sites that are not checked by Bit Che.
The site is http://www.torrentrover.com/ and You can download last 'portable' version: 0.23.1 beta. This 'portable' version is a simple self extracting (Microsoft) cabinet, but if You launch it, the destination folder (for example 'TorrentRover Portable') must exist before launch the self extracting archive.
When You launch it for first time, it create a subfolder TorrentRover with 2 (two) sub-subfolders:
- Download: for downloaded torrent
- Files: file with your search - it saves a file with name Rovers.trf (.TorrentRoverFile); this is a xml file and You can extract magnet link of Your search.
Here is my launcher, but there are 2 (two) keys that I cannot delete:
- .....TorrentRover_RASAPI32
- .....TorrentRover_RASMANCS
Do You can correct this launcher?
Thanks

Try the 64bit version of yaP, perhaps that helps (concluding this from "Wow6432Node").
Also try launching yaP in admin mode if the latter didn't help. In general, HKLM needs admin rights (above XP I guess).
You will need to remove "Wow6432Node" segment from your registry paths if running the 64bit version.

Currently 32bit version of yaP cannot deal with 64bit registry nodes.

Thanks for Your answer.
The solution was very simple
I have added the parameter '!admin' and the launcher works well.
So the correct snippet of this launcher is:Thanks again.

Thanks, I got these two extra locations:
- I got user.config in %LocalAppdata%\TorrentRover
- Downloads default to %Documents%\TorrentRover
Don't you have these?
I had to add these to the BEFORE section:
Notes:
- you can abbreviate HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, HKEY_CURRENT_USER to HKLM, HKCU
- no need to add full path, relative paths also work: "Settings\TorrentRover.reg" instead of "{YAPROOT}\Settings\TorrentRover.reg"
- I got user.config in %LocalAppdata%\TorrentRover
- Downloads default to %Documents%\TorrentRover

Sure, but I would like to make sure those extra locations are covered. So you have all your downloaded files and user.config in your application directory?rbon wrote: Do You think to add this launcher to Your Example configurations?.

Yes, I will test again the launcher with all modifications.
About downloaded torrents:
By default if You start 'TorrentRover' AND Your favorite client torrent is open, when You download a torrent (or magnet link) the client start automatically.
This depends from a setting:
-> Tools -> Preferences -> Advanced -> 'Automatically open downloaded torrent files'
if You deselect this parameter You have only downloaded torrents.

I see, but this is custom user configuration setting, not applicable to everyone.
Re: yaP - yet another Portablizer

Solved!
(I hope)
I think that You have tested the Install version of TorrentRover (Total Uninstall do not allows to test a portable version of a program).
I have installed the program (Setup) and I have found all folders that You write:
... but registry entries are different from these that I have found with portable version.
I have tested the Portable version of TorrentRover and I have not found these folders (checked again).
So User must:
1. create a yaP launcher structure (for example) '\TorrentRover Portable\App'
2. extract portable file 'TorrentRoverPortableSetup.exe' inside an existing folder: \App
3. start 'TorrentRoverPortable.exe' (the yaP launcher).
...
First start the portable program creates, in '\App' folder the file 'user.config', then when You insert a search, program create in
'\App' folder a subfolder 'TorrentRover' that contains two sub-subfolders:
- Download: for downloaded torrents (if You disable the automatic start of client)
- Files: contains the file 'Rovers.trf' with the name of search, but if you download only a torrent, the file contains data of
all torrents of search
So, for me, this yaP launcher is correct and I have added the note:
'This yaP launcher is only for Portable version of TorrentRover'.
Here is this launcher:

No, I was testing the portable version.
It was 'dotnetinspector.exe' that I deleted right after extracting because it seemed superfluous. The application checks for this file to run in portable mode but seemingly doesn't use it. If you delete it, settings will be saved to the host machine. Furthermore, deleting other files also prevents the application run in portable mode so I added a note on this in the ini.
Here it is:
