Cannot install new apps

elian - July 21, 2009 - 3:56am

I'm new to Portable Apps and when I wanted to install a new portable application and followed the instructions, the new app icon appeared in the menu, but could not be initialized and a message appeared that the .exe file could not be found. I tried several times but the result was the same. What could have gone wrong?

Refresh, disk problem

Try refreshing the icons again. If it's still not working, try running the program through Explorer. If that doesn't work, check your disk for errors, which would probably be there due to improperly pulling it out, or just a disk cluster dying (i.e. part of the disk has broken).
