General Discussion

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.

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).

I want to learn how PortableApps.com handle 64-bit apps.
But, many of apps that have been portablized by PortableApps.com in Portable Apps Directory that I never heard before, so I don't know if it's have an 64-bit variant or not.
And I don't want to try all apps one by one, you know it has 300+ apps on it.

If I were to create a similar program for Linux, would that be considered a violation of copyright? I would of course reference this program as the inspiration.

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?

Is there a way to install PortableApps.com on many drives simultaneously using one installer? Verus having to run the installer/setup on each of the drives. I have a few drives I'd like to setup identically.

Thank you.

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

i dont know if this possible,but is the a way,and if so how is there a way to put a folder in the app so when i click it ,it just opens the folder,instead of listing all the exe's in that folder,cheers

I see jportable...but the references in the forums seem to be 3-5 years old. Is there a portable javaws for running .jnlp files?

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.
