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
(Page URL updated)

Would this be of use to you?

problem launching PDF-Xchange Editor (not so with Viewer)

Submitted by itsame on May 30, 2017 - 5:42pm

system: Win 7 Sp1 x86
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.

[Closed] VIRUS - Wise Registry Edit & Cleaner

Submitted by saghalie on May 23, 2017 - 10:39am

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,

Saghalie

[Fixed] SWI-Prolog: outdated license and supported windows versions

Submitted by janw on May 13, 2017 - 10:24am

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.

Unable to launch xxxxxx.paf.exe, some missing dlls ?

Submitted by rinox on May 11, 2017 - 5:24am

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.
