Hello could you please tell Me if there is a setting in the PortableApps platform somewhere for Aplications that come with both the 32-Bit App version And the 64-Bit App version to only instal one of the two versions? And if there is one where do i find it? And how can i set it to if possible install only the 64-Bit version?
With a wish of a good day to you and a thank you beforehand for any reply.

This isn't currently supported in an automated fashion. Many apps will support you removing the 32-bit version manually. Firefox and Thunderbird, for instance.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

This is the same story for a fairly regularly request feature of portable apps. Deleting the 32bit app is done after it is installed i.e. after the hit to the HDD/SSD. It would be great if PortableApps would provide installers that give the user the option of only installing the 32bit or 64bit edition of an app. I switched from using Thunderbird PortableApps to Betterbird Portable for this very reason — with Betterbird I need only download and install a 64bit edition.
Use Portable Apps on both Flash Drive and HDD/SSD.
