Having a hard time downloading any of the programs from the website

Submitted by Camsy on July 22, 2009 - 4:40pm

Hi!

I've been trying to download the following applications:

Mozilla Firefox Portable
Mozilla Sunbird
FileZilla Portable

but I can't seem to download any of them. Whenever I click the "Download Now" button, I am lead to the page that says something like, 'Your download will start shortly'. Afterwards, I am redirected to this site: http://sourceforge.net/projects/portableapps/files/ As soon as I reach this page, my browser automatically hangs.

Portable JDK?

I had originally asked this in the Java Portable release news thread, foolish of me I know, but anyway... is there any way way that we could have the option when we install Java Portable to install the JDK instead of just the runtime? I realize this would not be useful to most users, but it could be useful to some (including myself). In the mean time, is there any way to manually install it, a la install Java Portable and then just drop in the JDK files? Thanks Smile

GnuCash Portable 2.2.8 Creates Keylogger??

Submitted by enigmamgine on July 21, 2009 - 3:32am

I really don't want to believe that a keylogger has been purposely programmed into GnuCash, a financial management program, so I don't know if it's been hacked or something???...

To give you an idea, here's what happened:

I tried installing GnuCash Portable on my flash drive on my own computer. Since I don't use my Admin profile unless it's necessary, I was using a profile without Admin rights. I do not have a full non-portable version of GnuCash installed on my machine.

JavaPortable - Unable to download Java

Submitted by Jero on July 20, 2009 - 12:05pm

When I tried to install JavaPortable I got the error message "Installer is unable to download Java". Of course, first think I did was to check my Internet connection and all was fine. I could even access java.sun.com site and manually downloaded the Java SE Runtime.

My box had Java 6 installed. I guess this is not necessary, but still I decided to uninstall my local copy. It does not work either.

[Bugs] Blender Portable 2.49 Rev 2

Submitted by Bart.S on July 18, 2009 - 4:12pm
  • BUG: file "$TEMP\quit.blend" is left behind
  • BUG: language switching doesn't work. BlenderPortable contains "App\Blender\.blender\locale\*.*", "App\DefaultData\settings\.blender\locale\*.*" and thus "Data\settings\.blender\locale\*.*". 3 times the same stuff, but the launcher searches the locales at "$PROGRAMDIRECTORY\locale\*.*", which doesn't exist.
  • oh, and btw., the code could be cleaned a bit

notepad++ 5.4.4 bug

Submitted by Exelle on July 17, 2009 - 9:10pm

I'm posting this not to complain about a bug, but to ask for a recompiling of the portable version, as the bug was fixed.

this is taken from the notepad++ forum (the first 2 posts in http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=3324337&forum_id=331753):
