IObitUninstallerPortable

Submitted by JackBlack on February 12, 2014 - 4:08pm

I downloaded IObit Uninstaller Portable apps and copied it to my portable hard drive. On installing the apps it installed itself on to my computer and downloaded extra files from internet without requesting to do so. I therefore un-installed the apps. I then had to manually remove a service it had installed on my PC 'Live Update'. Was this supposed to happen? If so should there not be a warning. I was under the impression that the idea of portable apps is you can use them on computers without installing files.

[Fixed] McAfee Stinger unable to download

McAfee Stinger is unable to download via the platform or the installer run directly and will return a 404 or invalid error for some people. We're working on a solution.

Previously, I posted a test series to see if a specific URL access would permit downloads: https://portableapps.com/node/39081

The new McAfee Stinger Portable 12.1.0.779 attempts to alleviate the issue by downloading the license agreement first. Note that THIS WILL NOT HELP PLATFORM UPDATES, so we do not need additional reports of this failing via the platform updater.

Process Explorer file showing as corrupt during installation?

Submitted by WickedGirl on February 5, 2014 - 8:55pm

I am able to download a paf file of Process Explorer from Portable Apps, both online and from within the Portable Apps itself, but when trying to install to my USB drive, the installation always fails with a message that the file is incomplete or corrupt. This is not a download issue on my end. I am having zero trouble downloading other files from Portable Apps or anywhere else and using them. Is Process Explorer 16.01 not going to be supported as a portable app? Thanks in advance!

Smart Defrag 2.9.0 r3 un/install errors

Submitted by johanponken on February 5, 2014 - 3:51pm

I recently got some strange behaviour from Smart Defrag 2.9.0 r3.
Several reinstalls didn't fix it, and eventually I couldn't even uninstall it.

I believe I haven't been using the app for many, many months, but auto-update is on.

First indication, not many days ago, was a Windows (Vista) error popup saying

Smart Defrag Portable cannot be started. You may wish to re-install to fix this issue. (ERROR: App\SmartDefrag\SmartDefrag.exe could not be found)
