General Discussion

Let's say you install portable app XYZ using the PA Launcher.

Then you close the PA Launcher.

Is it now possible to run app XYZ without first running the PA Launcher, and have app XYZ clean up after itself?

Or is it necessary to launch app XYZ from the PA Launcher so that the cleanup process takes place after the app is done running?

TIA.

I was wondering if there was interest in PortableApps.com using its LinkedIn page the way we use our Facebook, Twitter, and Google+ social media to handle new app announcements, platform release announcements, and significant news posts. We have an unused LinkedIn page here we could use: https://www.linkedin.com/company/portableapps

Would this be of use to you?

This is an issue on my side, trying to run the new PDF-X Editor. I have successfully used the PDF-X Viewer.
As a note, this problem occurs with the publisher's original software as well.
The issue seems to be the DLL that is being used as a call from the exe - the problem is that the program does not launch. The executable (PDFXEdit.exe) may sometimes appear TaskMgr before the process terminates w/o any log present in event viewer. PDF-X Viewer did not have this issue because it uses an exe file as the main program.

Hi,

The file is fusion.dll and is part of the CDeX app.

Norton just hit Wise Registry Editor with Ransom virus warning. I was able to stop it from loading but am not really sure it's a virus. Norton has been giving me a lot of false positives lately.

But this was an update from this morning that portable apps downloaded to my computer so I wanted to get the warning out there so you can check your files to make sure it's actually a virus or not.

Thanks!

Best Regards,

I am trying to use user-defined manifest files with a couple of Portable Apps, but I don't get them to work.

https://portableapps.com/news

I am getting a lot of " Whoops, we can't find that page. " Errors on Sourceforge when I try and download the apps.

On https://portableapps.com/apps/development/swi-prolog_portable, it is stated:

System Requirements: Windows XP/Vista/7/8/10
License: Free / Open Source (SWI-Prolog: GPL/LGPL, Launcher: GPL)

Since some versions, the oldest Windows release supported is AFAIK, Windows 7. Since 7.4.x, the license was changed to BSD 2-clause. You can checkout http://www.swi-prolog.org to verify these claims.

As in subject, I'm not able to launch any .paf.exe type file.
I think the problem is that I use a modded selfmade lite version of 2008 R1 sp2..... anyway, inspecting the paf.exe the dll imports are:
kernel32
user32
gdi32
shell32
advapi32
comctl32
ole32

In the system these files are presents, also..... the file seems to be a selfextracting 7zip because I can extract any paf.exe with 7zip but is quite annoying.
Can someone help me to find a solution for this problem? Thank you all in advantage.
