Today an updated Iron Portable was released and this update is buggy. It just does not run at all. Every time I try to start Iron, I get this error message: https://www.dropbox.com/s/y9vp54z33qak53n/IronFail.png
I tried to reinstall app completely, it didn't help. Obviously, the problem is with the app itself. I am using PortableApps.com Platform 11.2.

Iron is now using chrome.exe instead of iron.exe and can not be run at the same time as other instances Google Chrome or Iron (local or portable). Is Chrome running?
Not sure why the message isn't showing the real names.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
Is it a permanent change or just a mistake? I used Iron in parallel with other browsers.
It's permanent. SRWare made the change to Iron itself to use chrome.exe instead of iron.exe in the 32 release.

Ok. I downloaded IronPortable.zip from http://www.srware.net/ and it runs perfectly in parallel with Google Chrome: https://www.dropbox.com/s/yw5m1gvzplwff4d/IronChrome.png
So, looks like it's still an issue with PA version of Iron. Even if you have to check for running process, you can check for full path instead of just process name. For example, Process Explorer can show a full path of the running process, so it should be possible using Windows API.
I figured out why the message box wasn't showing the names and will have it sorted in the next release.
