General Discussion

Hi, I'm new here,

A friend took the time to show me Portable Apps on his Cruzer Micro USB Key.

My question: What is the minimum size for a USB Key ? 1Gb? 2Gb? 4Gb?

Because I have two 1Gb, one has the u3 version on it and won't work with every PC.
And from what I saw with Portable Apps works better. Now like my question says, do I need to get a bigger USB Key?

how do you know what parameter an app uses to store files in the application data folder? EX: APPNAME.exe -PARAMETER

No i dont have the apps source cause its freeware

hi all
im new

i would like to create my first portable apps
can someone help me telling me what to do step by step??
plz
bye all

I would like to change my name without deleting my account. How is that done?

I know you can use PAC to make a portable app, but hew do you make your own portable app? I'd like to know. Is there a tutorial or something?

Do you want all of the software Portable?
If yes, Will you happy?

Sorry, newbie and whatnot...

I want everything new -- 1.1 beta/gamma/omega I don't care.

What's the *one* link I can use to continuously image my thumb drive with the latest of *everything*? I'm okay with crashing and whatever. I just want one (1) download.

thanks!

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows if Portable Apps works on Windows Mobile off an SD card. I really like using Sunbird, Thunderbird, etc... and I would really like to know this before buying a pocket PC. If anyone knows (Or has a pocket pc w/ and SD card) I would greatly appreciate an answer, I'm looking at a pocket PC with Windows Mobile 5.0, if it makes a difference.
Thanks Again!

When I click on StartPortableApps.exe

Recourse to the the suggested pages has not been of much help.
I do not personally know anyone in the Open source movement, which I would like to support.

I get an error message that I must restart as shown:

"PortableAppsMen.exe has generated errors and will be closed by windows. You will need to restart the program." It also says that an error log has been created.

It does not work. There is no error log,
that is it does not do anythting.
I can access applications OK.
What is the StartPortableApps file about?

Hi,

I tried to run PortableApps from a CD ROM (the media was actually a CDRW, but no writing was possible), but some applications failed (Notepad++, for example).

Isn't there a way to run from a read-only media? Is this application specific, some need to write on the media, others don't?

I also tried to format the CDRW as UDF but this would not work either (for some reason the PortableApps menu is not shown) and it is not portable if run from another computer without CD burner.

Ricardo
