Windows XP/Vista/7/8/32-bit Compatible Apps Available and Requested

I'm working on adding legacy builds of our officially-released apps that have dropped support for Windows XP, Vista, or 7 to the base app homepages. The goal is to make them easier to find for folks on legacy systems. I'm listing out completed packages and packages that are being researched and built below. The packages are designed to install alongside your main app installs and won't be updated to the latest version - breaking compatibility with your legacy OS - by the PA.c Platform. We don't need copies of any of the apps listed, thanks.

Welcome to the PortableApps.com outdated apps tracker. Please post a comment for any outdated official apps that aren't already listed with AppName Version as the title (no dashes, Vs or other text). Before posting a request, please make sure that their stable Windows build is available and they have been announced by their publisher (just being available on a download/ftp server, github, or 3rd party site doesn't count as the app may not yet be official). Comments will be deleted as they are added.

why not one ff version like other apps?

Submitted by UpdateInformer on July 22, 2025 - 1:45pm

not sure why you cant build one ff
i think other apps prompt directly lng selector
why so much work on ff?
hope you can shrink to one or
at least use ai to build
you would save much traffic and time
you said, if remember well, that its understanding issue for users but
i think all your apps prompt directly lng selector, like npp or
do i mix with other app?
hope it helps
thx
ps
bold letters to get you read it before you create 1000 builds
will change after response

New Chrome Exploit - Google has patched these exploits in version 138.0.7204.97.

In this video, "URGENT — New Chrome Exploit - UPDATE NOW! (Also Edge/Brave/Opera)" by ThioJoe, he provides details on these exploits:

The simple fix is to navigate to Help/About Google Chrome (chrome://settings/help) but for all versions of Google Chrome Portable I've used, the update does not occur, and I get this message.

An error occurred while checking for updates: Update check failed to start (error code 1: 0X80004005).
