NSIS Error when trying to update PortableApps Platform to 29.4

Submitted by Avalanche369 on April 12, 2024 - 10:04am

Most posts I've looked at talk about individual apps getting an NSIS error, and the solution is usually to just reinstall the app. However, what do you do when the PortableApps launcher itself is getting a NSIS error? How do I reinstall PortableApps without losing my apps and settings?

Older Versions of Chrome failing to Install

Hey everyone, hope you are doing well. I am trying to currently download GoogleChromePortable64_74.0.3729.169_online.paf.exe but each time I try to run the installer I get this error. https://prnt.sc/UYnblD5WqW9X This is happening on pretty much any older version of chrome I try to install with the exception of the recent ones released in the last 6 months.

Next button breaks hours of selection

Submitted by Kimci on April 3, 2024 - 10:58pm

I selected 100 apps, pressed next and download started. That was a shock.
No way to pause or cancel. Being poor most of the downloads failed 6 hours later due to bandwidth congestion and thus the hours of selection (comparing last updated dates) were lost. YES this is a fault.

FAULT
[Next] should be renamed [Download] instead of simply hiding this information in the support page where it is too late for poor people. Tying up their net for hours with regets unless they reboot.

Question on new multi-monitor functionality

Submitted by autohost on March 27, 2024 - 2:07pm

I just upgraded to The PortableApps.com Platform v29.3 .

My work setup is a laptop and two 1920x1080 monitors. When I take the laptop home, I use it with only its own built-in monitor. My question is, if I run the launcher at work and move it to one of my external monitors #2 or #2, then exit, shutdown, take my laptop home, and run the launcher again, will it appear on the laptop monitor #1, or will it be on the non-existent monitor #2 and thus not accessible?

JPortable - URL/Port used to download Java

Submitted by Sam786 on March 27, 2024 - 1:14pm

Sorry guys to ask a question on a legacy version of JPortable.

Our internet access is closed and if you would like to access URLs you need to define these in the Proxy.

But I am trying install Java_Portable_6_Update_22_online.paf and it will get stuck on downloading Java "Downloading Java" & "Connecting..." and fails.

Could anyone provide me the URL/Port the application is using to download Java please?

Launch windows app from PApps

Submitted by john errington on March 20, 2024 - 3:11am

I would find it very useful to be able to launch standard windows apps - notepad, calculator etc - directly from the portable apps platform.

I have tried puting a batch file in a named folder inside my portable apps directory, but it doesnt seem to get detected in the platform.

C:\Portable Apps\PortableApps\windows-memtest has this batch file, named memtest.bat
%windir%\system32\MdSched.exe

If I click on it it works so that isnt the problem
