Where do updates go after PortableApps.com Platform downloads and installs them?

Hello, I'd like to know where PortableApps.com Platform stores the updates after downloading and installing them.

I'd like to be able to keep a copy of the exe.paf files downloaded by PAP, instead of downloading them a second time off the website.

Thanks.

They are

They are downloaded into a temporary folder until the install completes. Afterwards, the install process does a clean up which deletes the files in the temporary folder. JTH has mentioned implementing the ability to save those installers instead of deleting them for the reason you mentioned

Use the TEMP environment variable in Run

If you enter %TEMP% into the Run dialog ( Win key + R, or right-click the start button and click Run), you will then just have to look for any folders with a similar name to the following:
ns?????.tmp
