Opportunity to Improve
Submitted by pcupitt on November 23, 2006 - 3:36am
I have downloaded, tested and used the EXCELLENT portable apps suite.
Feedback is that all the PCs I have tried it on have worked very nicely (and all run AVAST antivirus with no issues).
However, the PCs at work do not allow access to install appplications which will not allow the very nicely done menu to operate. All individual apps work ok. If we could somehow make the menu appear on the desktop and NOT "install" then I could be showing off the whole suite to many of my collegues who I am sure would love it.
This one little hiccup being "fixed" could potentially be a huge positive in marketing this App Suite.
Well done guys and Guyettes

You are right
That's why I put "install" in inverted comas (At least i think I did), because the system obviously sees it as being installed and as I do not have administrator rights, it won't allow it to continue.
I think this is the only reason why the PCs at work are any different to the 2 laptops and four PCs I have tried it on successfully at home. All different systems, processor speeeds, amounts of ram.
Just extract it onto your
Just extract it onto your flash drive at home, then use it at work... If it doesn't work still, try using Pstart.
Ok, will do
Thanks for the hint Rich,
I have already done as you suggested, installed at home ....... no issues. It works at home beautifully. It's when i try to use it at work that the problem occurs.
So I will try the Pstart? (as soon as I figure out where and how).
