XAMPP Lite - no version 1.7.4?

As far as I can find, there is no version 1.7.4 of XAMPP Lite at the time of writing. Version 1.7.3 is still available from the project's SourceForge pages:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/xampp/files/XAMPP%20Windows/1.7.3/

Just a heads-up since the link to apachefriends.org from the PortableApps XAMPP page will only get you the full version 1.7.4.

XAMPP 1.7.4/launcher 1.4

Submitted by ralmon on February 8, 2011 - 11:34pm

(1) Did I miss an announcement for XAMPP 1.7.4 and the Launcher 1.4?

Seeing as it has PHP version 5.3.5, it seems important. Granted, I didn't learn about the PHP float conv bug until today, so I may have also missed this release.

Thanks for getting it out there, nonetheless.

GnuCash 2.4 fails to start after upgrade

Submitted by basilh on February 6, 2011 - 12:29pm

I've just upgraded from the previous version of Portable GnuCash to v2.4. When I start the new version, the GnuCash splash screen and the useful tip window appear briefly on my Windows Vista PC. The splash screen and tip windows disappear, and then nothing. The main GnuCash window does not appear. There are no error messages. GnuCash 2.4 does not start up. Sad

Foxit Reader Endless Update Loop

Submitted by jaragon on February 5, 2011 - 5:59pm

I ran the automatic updater today, and updated all of my portable apps, including Foxit Reader. However, every time I run the updater again, it keeps telling me that there is a new version of Foxit Reader available; version 4.3.1.

The latest version identifies itself as version 4.3.1.0118 in the Help > About dialog box.

I did a Wireshark trace of the automatic update process. It lists the latest version as 4.3.1.119.

Loading A WMV File

I have installed the WMV filter and a WMV video file loads fine into VirtualDub Portable, but when I try to play it I get a message: "VirtualDub Error No Audio decompressor could be found to decompress the source audio format. I am using Windows 7 64 bit. Thanks

Installer starts, answers all prompts, gets to download segment then reports "the downloaded copy of Skype is not valid and can not be installed. Please try installing again." Done that. No positive effect over two days.

Thanks for the help! SDA

Process Monitor

Submitted by ImStillA - Beginner on February 2, 2011 - 12:15pm

I saw you uploaded regshot, which was already portable...so I thought why not make a portable version of Prcoess Monitor.

How do I take snapshots in Prcoess Monitor like I do in regshot?

Cause I heard regshot is not accurate in windos 7...

TeamViewer updated

Submitted by Aqualung on January 31, 2011 - 11:02am

TeamViewer has been updated to 6.0.10194. (I know there's an "Outdated PortableApps" thread out there, but I just can't seem to find it.)

Also, for whoever sets out to pack this'un as a .paf file, would it be possible to make it so that, upon unpacking/installing, the tv.ini file ends up in a folder different than the executable file (TeamViewer.exe)?--although it looks to me that this might be impossible, as the tv.ini file is not created upon unpacking.
