States that it can't be run because it is in "Program Files", while it's not

Hello! As the title says, my LibreOffice portable program won't start because it says it's ine the Program Files folder that's intented for installed programs. I instead have a path named "Program Files (Portable)" to follow the Windows naming scheme. However, it still triggers as if it would be in the "Program Files" folder, which it isn't. Does anyone know how to fix this? Help would be appreciated! Smile

Thanks in advance!
Best regards, Willa

Program Files

The PA.c Launcher (LibreOfficePortable.exe) will treat anything starting with %PROGRAM FILES% as part of the Program Files directory at present. So, you could do C:\PortableApps or C:\Portable Program Files or anything else and it will work fine. C:\PortableApps is recommended as any PA.c Installer you run will automatically find that.
