I reported the following error to Gramps Bug Tracker and they replied suggesting I report to the PortableApps forum. It looks to me like an invalid path is specified (see end of Error Details).

I think something like the following is needed in TransUtils.py after line 52.
Disclaimer: I'm not a programmer and haven't tested this. IMHO, it should be fixed upstream by the Gramps developers.
As a workaround, you could create the directory C:\PortableApps\GrampsPortable\App\Gramps\lang yourself.
Thanks for the info.
Just to let you know that creating the directory, as suggested, fixes the problem.
Now we can set the topic to [Solved].
I've created a patch. Would you be so kind and point to it in your Gramps issue report? Otherwise the Gramps developers probably won't find it. Thanks

This ensures the lang directory exists even if the user elected not to install the translations.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
This issue is fixed in Gramps 3.4.3.
And btw, we had this PortableApps.comInstallerCustom.nsh until 3.4.1.
This issue was fixed in Gramps 3.4.3 upstream and, thus, Gramps Portable 3.4.3. We neglected to close the bug at the time, so I'm doing so now.
