¿Is there a way to make that PAF's online installers use the proxy server configured at the Portable Apps Platform?
My Scenario:
* PC / Laptop have two NICs: ETH and Wireless.
* There is a Proxy Server binding to the Wireless NIC (the NIC with Internet access).
* The Portable Apps Platform is configured to use the Proxy Server to check for updates (PortableAppsUpdater.exe), and it works... at least downloading the PAF exes..
* But the PAF exes that download externals resources like Skype, GoogleChrome, Java... still connect trough the main NIC, in my case, the ETH which doesn't have access to internet.
Using Process Explorer I noticed that "the platform" pass parameters to PortableAppsUpdater.exe, including the Proxy Server to use, in order to check and download the updated PAF exes...
OS: Windows 7 Ent. - x86 / Windows 10 Pro 21H2 x64

If you use the PA.c Platform, then PortableAppsUpdater.exe downloads both the installer itself (example: sPortable_8.82.0.403_online.paf.exe) and the online part of the installer (example: Skype-Setup.exe). If you run the paf.exe installer directly or try to install it via the platform's manual paf.exe selection, it will use the system proxy settings.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
