Source, Target installation

Submitted by slouw on January 6, 2020 - 3:22pm

Very interesting looking software
I cannot find where it should be installed however.
May I introduce a few terms so I can better understand the architecture.
Source computer = My computer where I have all my apps installed/licenced etc.
Target computer = Where I want to run an portable app.
Cloud location = E.g. Onedrive etc.
Where should I install PortableApps.com?
On the target computer? But I cannot do that - not available to me.

UTorrent 3.3.0

Submitted by Tina1 on December 30, 2019 - 12:34pm

Dear support team , I've got some questions in a filesharing case and hope you can help. My family was accused of downloading and uploading a Russian game Dead Island Riptide from a Russian exchange platform called rutor.org in 2013. We didn't download this game and never used Utorrent before 2018, nor do we speak Russian. But we had a russian visitor in our house and he used a usb-stick. My question is whether uTorrent client 3.3.0 can be operated on a usb stick?

[Fixed] PotPlayer creates Log folder in AppData...

Submitted by Haris6AN on December 22, 2019 - 2:45pm

Log folder is created in AppData folder. It seems that PotPlayerLauncher is missing some code in it, for example this is how it is supposed to be:
[DirectoriesCleanupIfEmpty]
1=%APPDATA%\Daum\PotPlayer\Log
2=%APPDATA%\Daum\PotPlayer
3=%APPDATA%\Daum

...and this is how it is in the new, updeted version:
[DirectoriesCleanupIfEmpty]
1=%APPDATA\Daum\PotPlayer\Log
2=%APPDATA\Daum\PotPlayer
3=%APPDATA\Daum

Several Apps don't start anymore

Submitted by herby on December 14, 2019 - 6:32am

I recently found that several apps don't start anymore, for example
- Avidemux 2.7.4-5 (nothing happens, not even the splash screen appears)
- Audacity 2.3.3 (splash screen appears, after that nothing happens)

I'm not sure if it's a common bug or individual bugs of the apps.
Running with Admin-Rights doesn't work either.
No hints in PortableAppsPlatform.log or in Windows event log.
No running tasks in task manager.

how to set exceptions to portableappsupdater

Submitted by satocha on December 5, 2019 - 12:46am

I want to know how to set exceptions for platform's automatic update checker.
Because a newer version of gimp than GIMP Portable 2.10.6 Rev 2. won't work on my windows 7 32bit machine.
Now I'm using that version. But, every time the platform runs, the system tries to install bad version newer than that.
I want to stop automatic updating for a specific app.
