There is an option to add ppApps in the script interface, this will add the programs to your PE image (like adding scripts) but this is not necessary or even recommended as the programs will be locked into the build which sort of defeats the whole idea of being portable.
Once project is run (with or without included ppApps in build), any time you boot the PE it will search all available drives (internal, external. USB etc.) for a ppApps folder containing your portable programs.
Important! Theses programs need to be setup a certain way in order to be detected and imported by your boot disk. If you use the ones I've setup for you they should work fine. You can read more about creating your own in the tutorial. Just make sure the folder structure looks like this (F:\ can be any drive letter):
You can download the latest version of the script here: http://www.mediafire...ppAppsGen11.rar

i copied ppApps script in livexp\Apps\system and made folder named ppApps in it then made folder named Portable as mentioned in ppApps script ..in that folder i made folder of my portabl application with ppApp.ini..
so it looks like this livexp\Apps\system\ppApps\Portable\portable application.
could you point out what i am doing wrong.... i am using LiveXP project ..THX..!!

Extract ppApps folder and copy it to root of any drive, say "C:\ppApps".
Boot your PE and watch system tray (next to clock), do you see ppAppsGen icon appear? Are there shortcuts created on Desktop etc.? If not, post link to log.html generated by your project. Use MediaFire or similar to host file.

It appears ppAppsGenPE is running and adding shortcuts (Check Disk, Driver Injection, License crawler etc.) to your Desktop and Start menu. This means the build is fine and working as expected.yes i do see ppAppsGen icon appear next to clock shortcuts is created Desktop etc.
but i cant see ppApps folder in livexp cd ..not working..!
Does your program get loaded if added to "C:\ppApps"? If not, something is wrong with your setup. Post the contents of your ppApp.ini here. It needs to contain the following data:
<Title> Some Program Name <Flags> MakeInRoot = 0 MakeStart = 1 MakeSendTo = 0 MakeDesktop = 1 MakeQuickLaunch = 0 <StartMenuSourcePath> Main Folder\Sub-Folder <ppApp> CommandLine = "Program.exe" ShortcutName = "Program Name" Description = "Description of program." <End>
Program.exe must reflect the exact name of your executable in same folder as ppApp.ini. If the executable is in a sub-folder then the command needs to reflect this e.g. "Sub-folder\Program.exe"
If it works in "C:\ppApps" but not added to PE image, you have probably added a superfluous ppApps sub-folder i.e. it should be "\\Workbench\Common\ppApps\yourProgram" not "\\Workbench\Common\ppApps\ppApps\yourProgram".

1) first screen shot shows that it is installed ppApps and shortcut is on desktop quicklaunch and in System dir.
2) second screen shot shows shorcuts have finished installing
which is 0 (zero) shortcuts
so what is exactly wrong ..? i am using downloaded ppApps folder application which is still not running and not in the iso created...?
plz clear it out...what are the mistakes ...Thank You...!

What I'm seeing, from the screenshots, log etc. is that ppAppsGenPE is installed in your PE correctly and running normally at boot but not finding any programs to install. This can't be the case under normal conditions but virtual/emulated (Qemu) creates its own separate issues where drives may not be visible from the virtual/emulated 'machine'. Rather than fight with Qemu, can you test the boot CD in a real machine?...so what is exactly wrong ..? i am using downloaded ppApps folder application which is still not running and not in the iso created...?
Now, even in Qemu, the internal (added through script interface) ppApps should be loading. This is more likely an issue with your portable setup; you will need to add known working programs (like the ones I sent you) for this test.
When you say "not in the iso created", what do you mean? There will be no ppApps folder at the root of the ISO/CD; there will only be ppApps folder at external location (C:\ppApps) or, if internal, look to %systemDrive%\i386\ppApps".

if i want it to load from my cd PE image.i have added it through " Iinclude ppApps in PE image: %GlobalTemplates%\ppApps "
it opens common folder location to put the folder ppApps and then in PE image on cd i find it in this location %systemDrive%\i386\ppApps.
but i want this folder to be in the root of the cd (PE image ), out of the I386 folder not in it. how to do that...?
is there any other way to add portable application in the PE image (CD) iso ..beside ppApps script..THX..

Yes! It's as simple as drag and drop with any good ISO editor (I use UltraISO). Just open the image, drag ppApps folder to root and save. Works great but requires some tweaking of ppApps setups and a writable %temp% directory with plenty of space....is there any other way to add portable application in the PE image (CD) iso ..beside ppApps script..THX..
I keep it in the system folder for compatibility with other projects, booting from HDD, UFD etc. Adding to root of ISO (as opposed to WIM) will only work from CD/DVD and only works with specific setup of project.
You must have a writable %temp% directory (R:\Temp) and the portables must know to extract (and run from) this directory. This shouldn't be a problem with most simple portables but can cause errors with more complex setups if not done properly.
I am currently testing a set of ppApps (portables) with this functionality in mind. If you want to help me with beta testing, send me a PM.

Should have known...PM is not working..?
Here is test package: http://www.mediafire...univ_081211.rar
Here is test build: http://www.mediafire...0_070411-08.rar
Just build normally and add ppApps to PE image (either via script interface or direct to root ISO) and test usability when booted from CD/DVD. Report any issues here or via PM (if working), thanks in advance for your help.

i want to know what is the aim of " add win2k3sp1 setupldr.bin and ramdisk.sys " in Create Iso script....?
coz for bootsdi we choose bootsdi script only.
does selecting this option in Create Iso script and win2k3_ramdisk driver create ramdisk iso without using bootsdi script...?
Thx ..in advance....!!

I assume that this is for using the ISO via grub4dos mapped to memory but I must admit I never use CreateISO. The WimBoot or (older) BootSDI ISO's are bootable from any media, CD/DVD/USB/UFD/HDD etc. I can't say if CreateISO is this flexible.

Disadvantage: no compression, ramdisk is needed since image is not writable
Advantage: image is not writable and therefore 100% virus resistant even during usage

This one includes working Flash: http://www.mediafire...Opera10_ppA.zipeven portable with flash plugin not working..
FBWF is another way to provide writable RAM temp directory but isn't needed with BootSDI, WimBoot etc.what is " file based write filter" and when to use it in pe build...?

Is it possible you're still trying to use the 'built-in' Opera 8 instead of the portable? They would probably both have shortcuts available in the PE. I can't think of why the portable wouldn't work for you... How are you booting the PE, CD/DVD or ??
