howdee,
ok - it has been many-years since ive used/made a PA-usb-key...
yesterday i downloaded the default installer and started to select a couple of apps to try... however, before i tried anything - i decided to rt-click and select-all portable-apps (assuming itd be 9gb or so, which i think it was)...
anyways - during the ensuing many-hours of download/install/click-ok waiting, i noticed only ONE quickie-error... upon further research, i rediscovered the error, and would like to ask if theres some way to fix it ?
the error is that the games/cube server+program download-link was wrong...
CORRECT: https://downloads.sourceforge.net/portableapps/CubePortable_2005.08.29_R...
ERROR: https://downloads.sourceforge.net/portableapps/CubePortable_2005.08.29_E...
i tried (in vain, hence this post) to figure out where/how this particular mistake occurred... afaict, cube is totally set with defaults in its installer-stuff... in my research, i noticed that the game was originally written in french - but im not sure if that is just a red-herring i noticed...
when i go to the homepage of the game here at PA (https://portableapps.com/apps/games/cube_portable) and download-it-manually... it seems to use the correct link, so maybe it is some issue to do with the installer/launcher/? - idk...
in case it helps: here're the other threads which mention it specifically - https://portableapps.com/news/2014-04-04--cube-portable-2005.08.29-rev-2... and https://portableapps.com/node/10271 ...
truthfully, i prolly would not have even noticed it (this game) since i was rather hoping to just download the single utility-category somehow... and if it matters, im using an old win-vista (32) machine (core-2-duo, 2g ram, 150g hdd, brand-new 32g fat32 usb-key) atm... also, i have not rebooted/logged-out/removed-key/anything-unusual since my initial process of dl/install of everything... i have tried a few of the other programs (specifically the PA-launcher, NSIS, and a couple others) to see if i could understand the source/template/launcher-or-whatnot to make a better-detailed report... and i COULD exit-PA/remove-key/etc. if theres any further debugging yalld like me to try...
anyways - long babble to ask: is there anything (besides this report) that i can do to just have the Cube game update correctly from the key ? currently, when i try to add-an-app (by category) the ONLY one missing is Cube...
tia, h.
btw - since i havent-yet-played-it, i cannot tell if the program-itself qualifies to be an 'outdated' one, tho i sorta doubt it... also, i have not yet tried the prolly-working cube-2 in my fiddling...
