Unable to download new packages. Unable to download new updates. Nothing!

Submitted by bobby_inbtc on May 1, 2022 - 12:38am

So I manually deleted the entire installation. Tried downloading the latest version of the portable apps software whih is PortableApps.com_Platform_Setup_21.2.2.paf

Installed that. But it won't let me download any packages for installation.

Just the same stupid message: "Unable to download file. This could be due to a proxy server or network issue or..."

Can't resize the "Open" Window When Picking PAF file to Install

Hi,

When I Click on Apps, then Install a New App, the window that opens to let me pick a file is always full screen. I can not make it any smaller. Is there something I am overlooking to shrink the window size, or is being full sized part of the design?
I don't believe that this was true in earlier versions of the platform.

Unable to download updates

Hi John,

I just want to let you know that update downloads aren't working right now.

Error from the PortableApps.com Platform is "Unable to download the file. This could be due to a proxy or network issue or the hosting server not permitting downloads from your location."

It's not working for me, or 2 friends.

Probably a temporary issue, but I thought you might appreciate knowing.

[Closed] .NET detection broken in 21.2.0 platform update

I had an update to v 21.2.0 of the PortableApps platform today, and since that update any portable app that I have that requires .NET to run now comes up with a message that "This application requires .NET installed on the local PC to run". This message takes me to a PortableApps page to download a version of .NET, which then tells me I already have .NET installed when I try to run it.
