PortableApps Suite does not install

Submitted by drikayar on April 1, 2007 - 8:02pm

Hi Guys!

I have been trying to install the PortableApps Suite (Lite and Standard) but the software does not get installed! Instead, it display the following message 'PortableApps_Suite_Standard_1.0.exe is not supported archive'

Does anyone know how to fix this bug... I have already downloaded and installed a PortableApps Suite patch but the problem persists...

Thanks!

It is called Floppy Office, Floppy Office is a tiny suite filled with tiny, but usefull apps, they appear truly portable since I saw them writing their settings in .ini files rather than the registry, probably cause the app are from the days of Windows 98, but they will work on XP, not sure about Vista, since I never used Vista.

But here is the link: http://www.xtort.net/office-and-productivity/floppy-office/

Thank you, John

I couldn't find a topic to express how glad I am that this project exists, so I am simply putting it here.

I have been searching for stuff like that for months, even years, to make a fresh install of a machine easier and less time consuming. You need one hour for Windows and another three hours for the applications to install. If you packaged Windows and applications in a slipstreamed version or an unattended installation, the minute you have finished packaging, the applications are outdated and new ones would come out. Only because of Microsoft sticking to the registry philosophy.
