Upon trying to install it attempts to download twice before giving an error message. Here is the log:

Hi,

Today Notepad++ shows me that there is a two updates (i dont remember which plugin was). I clik ok. It installed the updates. After that it shows me that it needs restart. I clik ok. But it ask me for admin rights. I did not give it. I close and re-open notepadd++. It shows me that plugins are installed but it still need restart to finish the installation. When I click yes It asked me again for admin rights. That is happening again and again.

At the end I give the admin right now everything works fine.

Why it needs admin rights? That is normal?

Thank you

It cannot update from previous version of TeamViewer version 8.0.22298. Manual update by downloading TeamViewerPortable_8.0.22298.paf.exe shows version is 8.0.20935.

I just installed Opera Portable 12.16 on my flash drive from PortableApps.com.

When I start it up, a blue Downloads folder is created in my User's Favorites folder.

I have set up the Downloads path in Opera's Preferences for my User's Downloads folder as follows:

C:\Users\UserName\Downloads

Does anyone know what is going on here?
I am about ready to delete this portable browser.

- - - - - - - -

The only thing that helps when I delete the Data directory and recreate my settings. Annoying, but just a little. Is there a cure for that?

Also, sometimes I want to run two notepad files (now from one install, not two - https://portableapps.com/node/38265) and it says one instance is already running, I can't run another. But I have found no consistency when I can run two instances and when I cannot.

It says: "Whoa! Iron has crashed. Relaunch now?" But it does not help.

What do I mean by running two installs?

I installed "Iron Portable 1" and "Iron Portable 2" in two separate directories (with their respective settings). All I want to do is run them simultaneously.

I can run Chrome Portables and non-portable SRWare Irons simultaneoulsy, the problem is just with Iron Portable.

Thank you.

Pretty much sums up the problem.

Iron (non-portable) and Chrome Portable does not do this.

Edit: now I can't reproduce the same problem. Strange.

I tried to use JPortable 7 u40 with JPC-rr, a DOS-emulator (http://tasvideos.org/EmulatorResources/JPC.html). Part of it starts, but it errors out before being fully loaded with the following message:

I have a question about the license for Wise Program Uninstaller Portable. On the update pages here, I see "Wise Program Uninstaller is freeware for personal and educational use." But, on their own site (http://www.wisecleaner.com/wiseuninstallerfree.html) I see "Wise Uninstaller is another freeware from WiseCleaner.com. All users are free to use it, update it and get the basic technical support on it."

Is the portable apps version more restrictive than the installed version, or might this happen to be a mistake...?

It continued to try and update. It would practically FORCE me to update. So I did. Then there were no torrents visible. I checked to make sure the folders were all in the same location and ALL the information was there.

So I moved the torrent folder and the downloaded date and reinstalled uTorrent. Moved everything back and when it opened again, it worked.

It lasted about 2 weeks. Then it came up one day after my laptop was unplugged accidentally and no torrents again! I deleted the uTorrent again - keeping the torrents themselves and the downloaded data.
