Hi! I have just installed PortableApps Lite 1.0 on my Kingston DataTraveler USB 2.0 device (capacity 1 Gb). When I tried to run PortableApps, it simply crashed with a Windows error message ("PortableAppsMen.exe has performed an illegal operation.....")
Looks like my Windows 2000 (SP4) doesn't like this application at all! Anyone had the same problem?!
ps: My USB 2.0 ports are working fine; I use a USB scanner, a USB fax/printer, two USB drives and a Iomega USB external drive for my backups.

I have plugged my USB key to a laptop running Windows XP and PortableApps works fine there. Which means that Win2K support is probably broken/untested/incomplete. I don't plan to migrate my desktop computer from Windows 2000 to Windows XP before June, so this is a problem.
Does anyone have knowledge of anything similar?

As stated right on the Suite page, you need to apply the 1.0.1 patch to fix the Win2K bug.

Thanks a lot! I have read the page but skipped this important part. I'll apply the patch and hopefully it will work just fine.
