AppExporter 0.5 Beta

Submitted by asper on December 1, 2015 - 2:04pm

Hello to all,
I created a small portable application to use in conjunction with portable programs on USB key, for example. "PortableApps", which allows you to export a portable program from the stick to the host computer using three methods:
- Copying
- Creating an installer
- Installing it directly on the host PC
and I am looking for someone who wants to help me doing the beta-testers.
The small program is still under development but almost fully functional (beta 0.5)
If someone wants to help me know.
Thank you in advance.

How to contribute

Submitted by Danixu on November 21, 2015 - 2:29pm

Hi, first of all i'm sorry for my english.

My question is about how i can contribute to the webpage. I've got the old OpenVPN Portable source and i've adapted the installer for me:
- Use of the latest openvpn version (2.3.8) and the latest drivers.
- An admin version for people that need it (for example for add routes to windows Vista and above). The normal version works too, but you need to right click on the exe and run as administrator (and is too hard for some users... i've experience with that).

DLL Files, etc.

Submitted by np511 on November 11, 2015 - 10:03am

Why isn't there a subfolder in PortableApps/Common Files for DLL files? I have counted the DLL files on my drive and there are many repeated DLLs. Why not have such a folder?

If I were to run it on Linux using Wine I could manually create that folder and use symbolic links. Is there a similar method that would work on Windows?

[Fixed] What happened to the new and updated topics button that was at the top of the forums list?

When I logged in to the forums i found the new and updated topics button missing. I also get a page not found (404 error) if I select view unanswered forum posts or view new forum posts in the forum tools. Is some work/update being performed on the site

PortableApps Platform With Google Drive?

Submitted by Satellite on October 31, 2015 - 1:00pm

Am I missing something here?
Is there any other point of installing the PortableApps Platform to the Google Drive Sync folder other than to have a BackUp that you can download?
I am not seeing how to make the apps open & run from Google Drive. I just get a message that there is no preview of the EXE for the PortableApp that I try to open.
