problem launchng Portable apps platform

I can no longer use Start.exe to start the Portable Apps program suite. I get the popup error message below:

Could not find the PortableApps.com Platform main EXE:C\Users\JoelDubow\OneDrive\Desktop\portableapps\PortableApps\PortableApps.com\PortableAppsPlatform.

It seems like a longer path than I remember. I still have a folder with all the portable apps included, including a Start.exe, but I can't start the platform. If there a way to correct this error?
Thanks

Installed within itself

I'd wager you accidentally installed the platform within itself somehow. Check the last PortableAppsPlatform directory as that's not a standard directory for anything. I'd suggest moving that directory out of the tree and then manually downloading and installing the platform from our site using your browser. Backup the PortableApps.com directory and stuff within it, too, to be safe. Select a Custom install location and select the C\Users\JoelDubow\OneDrive\Desktop\portableapps\PortableApps directory as your install, which is likely where your Start.exe is.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
