Comments

After updating to the latest version using PortableApps.com Updater, jPortable 32-bit (Version 7 update 40) and Google Chrome Portable (Version 30.0.1599.69), running Java in Chrome browser does no work anymore.

Before the update, there would be pop-up, asking for permission before running, now there is no pop-up or anything and Java does not run.

Any idea how to troubleshoot and fix this? Please advise.

PS: I also tried using Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition (Version 24.0) and result is the same.

Likely because update 45 is now out. You can update to it now.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

Hi John, thanks for your reply. I updated and is working fine now.

Am I correct to say this problem is caused by updated chrome blocks older plugin, preventing it to run?

I do also notice a tiny problem previously and even now after the update. When I first open chrome java work but when I restart and load the same java page, it'll give me a missing plugin error.

Wondering if you encounter what I'm talking about or have any idea how to fix this.
