PortableApps installation differences?

Submitted by PortableGood on August 22, 2015 - 4:39pm

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!

DYNAMIC Disk to Basic

Submitted by DreamFire on August 20, 2015 - 2:41pm

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

Portable apps not working again after Windows update

Submitted by zorro103 on August 20, 2015 - 10:03am

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

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.

Komodo Edit Updates?

Submitted by Wickster on August 14, 2015 - 1:31pm

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.
