Windows 7 RC 64 bit

They all load & display correctly in Win 7 RC 64 bit, however:
TCPView - Right-Clicking on an item & "View Process properties" gives error "Unable to query properties for " 3rd party apps return properties, it's just all the system items. Not sure if this is expected behaviour or not.
Process Monitor - on starting it I get a security prompt to allow changes to the computer. This is part of Win 7 UAC, but I thought Portable apps wouldn't be making changes. ???

I can't test on that OS but there's no problem viewing properties here on XP. Perhaps someone with the same system can confirm?

pmbellisbut I thought Portable apps wouldn't be making changes.

At a guess... Process Monitor creates registry keys under 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum', from which they inherit 'Read' only permissions, so the launcher changes the Process Monitor permissions to 'Full Control' to allow for an effective backup/restore/cleanup. Process Explorer does this too so, if you see that prompt with Process Monitor, you should see it with Process Explorer as well. If that's what's causing it of course. Do you get the prompt with Process Explorer? If not, I'll need some more info.

I guess these should be marked as Admin only.

Is there any reason these

Is there any reason these couldnt all be placed in 1 launcher rather than having to install 3 (i.e. launcher for all three in one paf package - I believe the PortableApps launcher will detect all 3 in the app directory).

The only downside to this would be if you added more of the sysinternals apps, but once app folders appear in PortableApps platform this would no longer be a problem.
