Monster 2 Barely runs

Submitted by DADSGETNDOWN on October 22, 2011 - 10:44pm

Okay boys and girls, I have already been to Nooskewl and their irc, and PAs' Irc channel no one responded there. The problem, I am on WINXP HOME, 3 Ghz, Geforce 6200, I am running the game from a folder on my desktop after installing it to my usb drive and then copy/paste to the desktop. When I run it, it takes quite a long time, many hours, even went to sleep once, to get to what I think is where you actually gain control, which is in a cell.

ZSoft Uninstaller [ HUGE LOG FILES]

Submitted by 8ball on October 20, 2011 - 4:47am

G:\PortableApps\ZSoftUninstallerPortable\App\ZSoftUninstaller\logs

this folder is 386 MB and it's a problem for me.

it has the following files followed by size:
files_1 16.1 MB
files_2 16.1 MB
HKLM_1 167 MB
HKLM_2 167 MB
HKU_1 9.44 MB
HKU_2 9.44 MB

1.) is it safe to delete these ?
2.) how can I prevent their creation? (other than removing the App)

Appreciate any response.

[Fixed] XAMPP Launcher update wiped XAMPP installation

Submitted by ralmon on October 18, 2011 - 7:39pm

I updated the launcher to 1.4 via platform Next pre-release 4.1, and it proceeded to delete the \PortableApps\XAMPP\App\xampp which contained my complete and customized XAMPP installation with all my domain development projects. Could have been pretty devastating had I not just backed it up.

Probably not an issue with the platform so much as something noteworthy about the Launcher installer. Is it the intent to wipe the xampp folder on update?

Cheers,
Ray

Note to all: always, and I mean ALWAYS, backup before updating.

[Closed] PAI & Plugin installers

Submitted by Gord Caswell on October 18, 2011 - 11:48am

I've found another bug in the installer: When running the installer with plugininstaller.ini, the installer blindly copies all files/folders in the directory, rather than only App, Other, help.html & any exe's in the root.

This only occurs when running as a plugininstaller, when running as a standard install, the installer demonstrates the correct behaviour.

[EDIT] Changed subject to reflect applicability to plugin installers in general

[Closed] PAL, PAI & CommonFiles

Submitted by Gord Caswell on October 18, 2011 - 11:38am

I've discovered a bug within what I think is PAI - When running the installer against an app destined to be installed in CommonFiles, if there is both an appinfo and a plugininstaller file, the appinfo is given precedence, and the app is pacakged to install to PortableApps. However, if the appinfo file is removed/renamed, the plugininstaller is given precedence as expected. The issue arises wherein appinfo.ini is required by a launcher running from CommonFiles.

Accordingly, it is currently impossible to install a PAL-based app to CommonFiles

2) is developed by a portableapps.com member ?

3) will be develop in the future ?

i would like to know because it's a great really amazing program , and i can not find the homepage and i can'tunderstand the need of a launcher (seeing it's only portable)

Can Inkscape Portable support Dia Portable?

Submitted by Bart.S on October 17, 2011 - 7:39am

Is there a chance to get the Dia input extension working in Inkscape Portable?

Extension "Dia Input" failed to load because a dependency was not met.
Dependency:
  type: executable
  location: path
  string: dia
  description: In order to import Dia files, Dia itself must be installed.  You can get Dia at http://live.gnome.org/Dia

It would be nice if it would recognize Dia Portable when found.
