General Discussion

It's good to find a good community. My name is Lance and I am newbie here.

When an app is installed via the (great) PortableApps Platform, are there any differences between that installation and when you manually perform an "installation" of a portable app? The typical manual "installation" technique is to create a new folder and copy all the contents of an archive (typically zip on Windows) into that folder.

Thanks!

Recently my laptop died before I got a chance to fully back up my documents.

I got a new laptop and a usb converter to be able to get the data off the old drive.

When I go to the disk management in Windows 10 the old drive shows up as dynamic disk and will not let me access the files.

I was wondering if there is any apps that can access the data without loosing any of it.

The laptop specs:

Toshiba Satellite C55-B
4 gb of memeory
64 bit windows 10 Home Edition

Hello,

I'm on Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bits

I use Adobe Flash CS5.5 Portable for old compatibilities issues.

To make it work I've uninstalled KB3045999, KB3022345 & KB3068708

It worked perfectly till today but unfortunately after a windows update the annoying window "The application was unable to load a required virtual machine component...." has appeared again.

Any idea of which update could conflict again with portable apps ?

Thanks

Currently, PA has Irfanview 32-bit.

Recently, Irfanview 64-bit was released.

Will PA be getting Irfanview 64-bit?

Hi,
I have problem with platform in one specific situation.
When going to Apps -> Install a New App, browser window for selecting .paf.exe pops up.
If I click on anything other than that selection window or PortableApps Platform window,
focus is moved there and selection window and PortableApps Platform window becomes invisible.
There is now way to move focus back to selection window or PortableApps Platform window.
If I click on PortableApps Platform icon in tray, it appears just for a split of second and disappears again.

Whatever happened to the Komodo Edit progression?

I didn't want to put a request for it, because it was already in development to be portable. Then after searching for it here, it had stopped on version 5 Development Test 7.

As of now, Komodo Edit is on version 9.2 and completely Open-Source as well. Hopefully it gets picked up again here.

Is there a way to set programs which to be started when I start PortableApps?

I run most of my apps portable, but I don't have the Portable Apps Platform running. I find that many of the apps are slow to launch, particularly VLC, LibreOffice, OpenOffice, Skype - probably most of them. I launch them from my local hard drive. My PC does not seem to be short of resources. I'm on Windows 10 but it was the same on 7 and 8.1. Would installing the Platform speed up the launch times?
Thanks

Often when portable apps platform download update it stucks on 100%. At the moment when it downloads google chrome 44 it stops on 41 936 Kb of 41 949 Kb and then shows Reget Error, file: http://cache.pack.google.com/edgedl/chrome/win/F19450DC/8491D4A8/44.0.24...

Same with Opera, Process Explorer and uTorrent

Is there a way to update portable apps manually without loosing settings and personal information or fix this error?
