Have you done anything farther with PortLaunch? Are you willing to share the code? I am working on an app like that and it would be helpful to see how you developed yours. Maybe even collaborate on ideas and just update your code?
Thanks!

I haven't touched it in ages.. I'm not even sure I have the source to it.. If I do, I'll upload it.

As I suspected, all my Port'****** program's source codes are gone. I believe lost in an HD crash. Though I probably do have backups, but the problem is, they're on LS120 disks to which my LS120 external disk drive went bad around the time of the HD crash. I have no access to another LS120 drive to retrieve any of the stuff I have on like 10 LS120 disks I used for backing up stuff.

| I'll give you an internal one if you pay for shipping. +3 bucks for gas. I'm sure I have one but I'll have to make sure. I'll even send my blank disks.

I may take you up on this soon. I have to make sure first that I get CodeScript paid back first. I should have enough after that to get that from you then. It would be really nice to get all my source codes left on those disks back.

Basically, I searched the path from the base of where Port'Launch was extending out to sub directories for all executables.
C:\Program Files\Port'Launch.exe
Everything in the "Program Files directory was searched and all sub directories in "Program Files".
If you were to put the program at the root of C:\ then the entire C drive would be searched.
I don't remember what search routine I used, either the API one or a pure VDS one. If it's fast, then it was likely the API one, if it was a bit slow, then it was in pure VDS not using the API.

Actually I have 2 of the old Imation drives I evaluated years ago. I'll part with one for plagerizing rights to your posted code.  They don't have more than 2 or 3 hours on them... PM me an address in the next 2 hours and I'll UPS it today, otherwise it'll have to wait 'til monday...

Thanks to Hooligan for the 120 drive. I was able to access most of my LS120 disks. But it seems the disks were going bad and the one that had the source codes was completely bad. Scandisk does not seem to work on the LS120's either.

Sorry to hear that. I have created my USB launcher and and continuing to work on it. It is working very well. I also created a way to create a way to create a portable installer for portable applications. The laincher is along the lines of PortableApps and Liberkey. The launcher is called SeaJay. When I have it to a good point (hopefully withing the next week or so) I'll be needing Beta testers if anyone is interested.

I'll be happy to test it. I've got various portable devices here to test on, from MicroDrives, USB sticks and xD cards.

Great! Here are some screen shots. I hope to have a Beta available soon. Still have a few things to work on. I borrowed the way you made your table for your apps. It made sense to have the path and filename in the table. I also liked having the version in it and I use that in my installer.
