I have already emailed Gian about this, but thought it best to post here to get info posted in a place where others may derive help from the solutions. Anyway, here's the apps from email I sent:
RadioSure: - Unknown Author and Licence, do I need these?
- How to perform Silent Install? Is it simply /S in Installation Arguments for ALL apps? Tried '{0} /S' but gave error saying RadioSure,exe not found? Then tried just '/S' but again error saying I haven't supplied arguments?
- How do you tell SyMenu to install as Portable instead of local install?
Disk Digger: ReNamer Lite: - error - On using Test SPS Online, I get this message: The file is classified as a 7z package but unpacking has returned an error. Do I need to add Installation arguments? What are they?
Rocket Dock: - Again, silent install required
Calibre: - Silent installation for portable version
Ooo Player: - Installs ok but unpacks app from 7zip to Ooo_Player_2.1.2/oooplayer/OooPlayer.exe, giving the error that the exe can't be found, why? Can I stop this? I managed to install using this path, but why add a subfolder unnecesarily?
- 1. Download the self-extracting "portable" EXE and extract to a folder of your choice.
2. Within this folder, create a text file called settings.ini. 3. Open the text file and paste the following content: [settings] update=0 4. Launch OooPlayer.exe How do I add these settings to the Settings.ini once created? can that only be done manually? Or is there an argument that can do this? TEbookConverter 32/64: - Similar to Ooo Player, Installs into sub folder.
Paint.NET 64 Portable: - Here I used the existing SPS file for the 32bit version and adapted it to download the 64bit version. It installs and works fine but it also leaves behind a directory that it shouldn't - $PLUGINSDIR, why and how to stop this?
GlaryUtilities: - Is it possible to make this portable on installation? It can be done within the app via a menu option but wondered if a command line argument could be used?
- Problems downloading/installing?
ImgBurn: - Requires a text file be created with this info:
[Settings] PortableMode=1 FILELOCATIONS_GraphDataFiles=.\Graph Data Files\ FILELOCATIONS_ImageFiles=.\Image Files\ FILELOCATIONS_LogFiles=.\Log Files\ FILELOCATIONS_ProjectFiles=.\Project Files\ FILELOCATIONS_QueueFiles=.\Queue Files\ - Won't install because it is... well don't know as the rest of the info is cut off on the SPS installation test window!
- When installing AVGfree is flagging this as malware?! Pretty sure it's not, unless it's installing something dodgy alongside it!
SynWrite, SynWrite - beta, DiskDigger and XdN Tweaker are ok but just need icons.
Hopefully all these will get fixed and released at some point. More will be added... edited by sl23 on 21/08/2015
