This is an alpha release for the new 0.3.0 version of JauntePE. It is considered an alpha release since it is feature incomplete, not because it is unstable. It's best to consider it a developer's nightly build, as there a few known errors and limitations, and a number of untested and undocumented features. As such, it is intended primarily for use by those who are already familiar with, and have used, previous versions of JauntePE, as only a new runtime dll, a generic portable launcher, and a few tools, are included for normal use for now. Everything, including this help documentation, should be "taken with a grain of salt."

Please see the JauntePE license for resale restrictions due to the use of the MadCodeHook library. There is no longer a need for the madchook.dll file as madshi has graciously allowed his library to be built into the jauntePE.dll runtime file, but its licensing restrictions still apply.

If you're new to JauntePE, it is strongly suggested that you make use of the JPE Quickie tool in order to automate most of the mundane aspects of portablizing an application. Some of its features are incomplete, but it serves as a good starting point if you don't feel like digging into the specifics. Especially if you have an installer for the application.

If you're the hands-on type, a set of steps have been provided to get you started with porting your existing "JauntePEized" applications for use with 0.3.0. You should also take a look at the provided set of examples to give you some real launch/runtime inis to look at. Hopefully these examples, along with the specifications for the new launch settings, and the specifications for the expanded runtime settings, will be enough for you to at least attempt to use 0.3.0 in place of your current JauntePE runtime.

There is also a revised 12 Step Program guide that you may use to give you an idea of the "best practices" for setting up any new application (or suite of applications) for use with JauntePE.

Regarding a user interface, new to the 0.3.0 release, JauntePE has been reworked into a suite of utility applications known as the toolbox. Hopefully you'll find this configuration easier to work with, as each tool of the suite was designed with a specific use in mind. It's all still very much a work-in-progress, but already there are many features, automated and otherwise, that go beyond the previous versions of the old monolithic launchpad.

Finally, there is an index for quick reference use.
