Other Apps Support (Deprecated)

I am starting a little DIY guide for Mac-on-Stick right here on the forum. The purpose is to let people be able to actually use the thing instead of trying to troubleshoot it. Good idea, huh?

Long due: The guide is finally ready! See this link for details: https://portableapps.com/node/11181

Has anyone been able to get UltraVNC working on a system using Zonealarm, a NAT router and WindowsXP?

I'm using UltraVNC with Portable UltraVNC Viewer. I've portforwarded 5900 and 5800 on both my router and my ZoneAlarm, and tested my port 5900, plus i'm using the correct IP address and i've given my computer a static IP address also. However for some reason when i go to connect using the VNC viewer, it keeps telling me the connection has failed. Any thougths on how to get this working?

Hi,

everytime I try to compile one of otbsupport's NSIS scripts I get

"!include: could not find: "GetParameters.nsh"
Error in script "Z:\Software Windows\PortableApps Suite 1.0\PortableApps\explore2fsPE\Other\explore2fsPECode\explore2fsPE.nsi" on line 32 -- aborting creation process"

Is there a NSIS plugin I've not installed? I have installed all plugins found on the NSIS homepage.

Thx a lot for help.

i am using portable firefox 1.5.0.8 as part of the Torpark distribution. i was wanting to NOT clear my private data (history, passwords, forms, downloads, cookie, cache) if possible, without leaving a trail on the HDD of the PC being used. where is this data stored, the USB flash drive, or is some of it written to the HDD (registry, etc). if i don't clear private data, am i still anonymous as far as the host PC is concerned?

I've tried installing Opera 9.02 and 8.54 that are for USB. Installing is no problem. Works fine. But once I quit PortableApps and disconnect the thumb drive, when I go back later to start Opera, I always get an error that I'm missing a certain file. But if I go to the root directory for Opera, it runs fine. But just not from the PortableApps menu. Freshing the menu does no good. Any suggestions?

Hello:

I tried to install through Menu launcher ("Install new app") but when I try to launch it can't. It gets errors from mysql and apache

I read documentation and it says that it musts go x:\xampp directory or else it will fails.

Then the problem is that the icons disappears from PortableApps menu launcher.

How can I Install it in x:\portableapps\xampp?

And i noticed that full xampp installation has size of 211mb but a size in disc of 429mb. Its too much, isnt it? Lite version goes 110mb/129mb, its ok.

Thank you very much.

when you install mac-on-a-stick, you have to extract this bin file:

i tried to extract it with alzip and 7zip and i get the same error message, "file format not supported" help, please?

Being that you dont have a forum for PA backup(other than the locked forum for RC1), I'll be posting this here. I just want to suggest an option to backup the PortableApps folder, because I can backup the whole drive, documents directory, and the App data, but not all of my apps, and just the apps. Thanks.

Their newest release I have it installed on the local version Firefox at home, but it won't install on Portable Firefox. I got version 1.2.1 from a attachment in another thread, but can't DL the xpi file from yahoo so I can install it to the portable.
