Seeing that there was a new version available, I just updated SeaMonkey using the "Manage Apps" - "Check For Updates" function in the PortableApps platform 2.0 beta 5 and now SeaMonkey will not start. I get the following error message:
"XULRunner
Error: Platform version '2.0.1' is not compatible with

That's a SeaMonkey internal error with an extension or something similar. Do you have any extensions or plugins installed in SeaMonkey? Another option is to delete the SeaMonkeyPortable\App\seamonkey directory and then reinstall just to be sure your install is clean. Also, be sure to check your drive for errors to make sure that isn't playing a role.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
I know I have NoScript and AdBlockPlus installed, don't think I have anything else installed, but can't check because I can't get SeaMonkey to start. I looked in the "PortableApps\SeaMonkeyPortable\App\SeaMonkey\extensions" and the" PortableApps\SeaMonkeyPortable\App\SeaMonkey\plugins" folders and all that is there are:
{972ce4c6-7e08-4474-a285-3208198ce6fd}.xpi
modern@themes.mozilla.org.xpi
both in the extensions folder and
npnul32.dll
in the plugin folder.
Ran disk check on my flash drive, no errors.
I'm hoping I don't have to delete SeaMonkey and start from scratch, but if that's what it will take I might have to try that.

My reinstall instructions above just reinstall SeaMonkey itself. They don't mess with any of your settings.

Thanks John, that worked and my SeaMonkey is functional again and my settings seem to be all the same. I'm a big fan and daily user of the PA platform. Thanks again.
