When I install the above mentioned USB into a USB port on my above mentioned LG GRAM with Windows 11 and double click the Start.exe in Windows Explorer I get this message; "This app can't run on your PC. To find a version for your PC, check with the software publisher". However, if I double click on PortableApps.com_Platform_Setup_22.0.1.paf.exe and reinstall the platform all is well until the next time I install the same USB drive and double click the Start.exe. Is there a platform just for Windows 11 or what is the trouble? Also, is there a way to attach a copy of the message as a file?

For a long time, the portableapps suite do not update automatically some applications. In the beginning it was just libreoffice. I stayed at libreoffice 7.1.4 and believe I did this update manually. Now, other applications have been added to this list:
- CCleaner via ccPortable 6.04.10044
- Opera 91.0.4516.20
- Team Viewer 15.34.4
- Wise Ddata recovery 6.1.3

I have 2 PCs with Windows 7 64-bit and have the same problem on both.
How can I solve this problem?
Thank you

I was wondering if there's any interest in ARM versions of apps being included in bundles where it is low impact. These would be for Windows 10/11 on ARM devices like the Microsoft Surface Pro X, Samsung Galaxy Book Go/S, Lenovo Flex 5G, HP Elite Folio, etc as well as for folks daring enough to get Windows on ARM running on the Mac M1/M2 machines. This would only affect a handful of apps like CrystalDiskInfo/Mark, Sysinternals utilities, 7-Zip, etc and only when it makes sense size wise in relation to performance.

Have been telling this now long way

You are killing the ones that once have told you of how not to behave.

Some portable apps run fine with standard user accounts like putty. But wincdemu has a uac admin credential popup to allow "this app [from an untrusted publisher] to make changes of your device."

For apps like that, it would be useful to know, have them tagged, and be able to filter by that attribute.

I tried to run some of these apps with the runasinvoker command, but they usually require drivers or something so they can't be ran as a standard user.

I have been having repeated crashes with Explorer++ Portable 1.3.5. I contacted the developer who said "I no longer investigate any issues specific to 1.3.5. If the crashes occur in the latest development build, please send through a crash dump."

The development build is 1.4.0. It is marked as a beta, but is the only version supported. https://explorerplusplus.com/download.

I feel that 1.4.0 should be used as the current portable version as version 1.3.5 has been depreciated.

Thank you.

I have an error that Chrome Portable automatically closes when running by the command cmd: start "" "%cd%\MyFolder\GoogleChromePortable.exe" --profile-directory="Default". How to fix this error? Thanks a lot if you can help

PAF updater is really great for updating all Portable Apps Format one is using ... (I just love it ... Firefox, Thunderbird, LibreOffice, and many other apps, I just use them in PAF ... )
Why not make PAF updater work for of all the apps installed, even those installed on C as non portable apps ?
At least provide a list of all the apps NOT IN PAF installation one has to update ?
Then,
a) Windows system would be updated as everyone knows,
b) PAF apps ... the easiest way to update apps (and thank you really really, but really much for it)

Hi all.

ZoomItPortable_6.0_English_online.paf.exe is outdated. It downloads https://download.sysinternals.com/files/ZoomIt.zip which is currently version 6.01 and not the expected 6.0, and fails, telling that the downloaded file is invalid.

Is there an issue?
