Running Portable Apps from a Web Host

Submitted by vadarfone on March 29, 2010 - 8:26am

Hi

So, I had an idea to install a load of portable apps to my website, and have a link on the website so I could use them anywhere, even if I forgot my USB stick.

Now, I have installed Portable Apps on USB, iPod, HD, etc, and I have managed to get the apps installed onto my webspace, with the .EXE showing up on the website.

The problem I am having though, is that I can't seem to get them to run; When I select the .EXE files (I am using Windows to test all this out), the web browser just asks me to save the file, and not run.

Just a idea a "Portable Apps Development Suite"
Custom theme and icons.
Apps it would have:
Notepad++ Portable
NSIS Portable
KompoZer Portable
PortableApps.com Installer
XAMPP
IcoFX Portable
Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition
PuTTY Portable
7-Zip Portable
Command Prompt Portable
Java Portable
Lightscreen Portable
WinMd5Sum Portable
PortableApps.com AppCompactor

I really like the PortableApps.com Installer programs

I really like how programs such as Chrome and Skype do not have the PortableApps splash screen. I wish there was a way to suppress that on other PortableApps.

Not trying to take anything away from this awesome resource, but the splash screens bug me, and whether it is fact of fiction, it provides me the illusion of a slower load of the program.
