I use Chrome Portable because official Chrome doesn't let me choose an install location and I don't want my user data on my C: drive. I recently learned you can use the --user-data-dir argument in a shortcut to specify a profile location in official Chrome which would basically make it like a portable version.

Since I'm already using Chrome Portable I wonder if I should bother. Is one more private and secure than the other? I can see that Chrome Portable's data is temporarily in AppData while in use and then after I close the browser the folder gets deleted.

There are multiple copies of Chrome portable I need to regularly update within my househould. Even though we have fast internet, the online updater is often very slow. And having to deal with that on multiple PCs with every single update is becoming an annoying time sink. Is there any way to get an offline version like Firefox?

Hallo,

Hello,
Starting today, Im getting the following message when starting Chrome portable:
Can't update Chrome
Im running Chrome Portable: Version 119.0.6045.160 (Official Build) (32-bit) on Win10 Home 64-bit Ver: 1809
Things I tried:

Hello community,
“Another instance of PuTTY is already running. Please close other instances of PuTTY before starting PuTTY Portable.”

This is the error message we get when...
1) Install PuTTY Portable at Workstation.
2) User "A" logs in and starts PuTTY Portable
3) User "A" blocks his session..
4) User "B" logs in and starts PuTTY Portable

I'm getting a 404 Not Found when trying to download zmPortable v5.18.1. I can download the previous version just fine if I edit the URL for v5.17.1.

I would really like to use Chrome Portable, but I can't find the Cache where Chrome parks many. many MB of stuff every day. Any guidance appreciated. I just want to be able to add that Cache folder to my CCleaner options for daily (nightly) clearing.

App reverted to default state (all settings default, all torrents gone)
Log file says config file is located in appdata folder (meaning its not portable?)

I suppose this is a general question about the PortableApps launcher but specifically I am using qBitTorrent Portable.

I have a shortcut to the launcher on my desktop.

When I launch it for the first time, the app launches - no problem.

However if I minimize the app to the tray and later try to open it again using the shortcut, I receive the dreaded "another instance is already running" error message.

This is not helpful. I am not trying to run a new instance; I am trying to re-open the existing instance.

Latest PA version of SeaMonkey is not running when installing to a new dir (64 bit only install), or upgrading to only 64-bit on existing directory.

Throws "seamonley.exe could not be found" error (when executing from PA platform or from the SeaMonkeyPortable.exe file).

Failed on Windows 10 64 bit system when upgrading through the PA platform and when installing Seamonkey.paf standalone on Desktop.

Thanks!
