First off I just wish to say howdy to yal, and thank you for your works. Found yal looking for a way to sort / categorize the apps I have... and in the process found some apps to replace the ones I have beings they fit my tastes and or are smaller in size.

So here we go. No I do not have any apps on a usb stick, flash drive. I am running them on my laptop that is being treated like a desktop.

Alternative for Net Framework 4?

Submitted by floriankraemer on July 16, 2013 - 5:37am

Hello Everybody,

Does anyone know an alternative for applications that require net framework or exists an alternative ".NET 4" application?

For example:

I want to start a self-made portable app (made via cameyo online packer) which need Net Framework 4. I cant install .NET because i have no admin rights. Without NET4 my application doesn't start.

How do I reply to posts?

I don't have any problem with finding and reading messages that people have posted. I have registered as a member. JavaScript is enabled on each page of the portableapps.com domain. But I have yet to see any button, hyperlink, dialog or anything esle which would enable me to post a reply to an existing post. Am I going blind, or is there some "secret" to doing that?

I want to learn to make portable apps

Submitted by Peter8087 on July 11, 2013 - 4:21pm

I want to learn to make portable application in a way that the applications in portableapps.com are made. I tried to create some applications with ThinApp but in the end it creates just one .exe file and i don't like this because i want to have access to all program settings as the programs here are created. ThinApp doesn't seem to have the option to create the programs this way.

From where to start?

Virus found

Submitted by saa001 on July 11, 2013 - 3:31pm

Just did an update via the Portable Apps menu and came up with a virus on one of the apps. This happened only after the update and not before. I wasn't downloading anything else either.

The virus is: Cyrano.exe and it was in the Lucas Chess app.

Is there any scan done of apps prior to them being distributed?
