Block Windows Group policies on a FireFox Portable App

Submitted by braben on March 3, 2019 - 3:07pm

Hello,

I am looking for an option so our Windows FireFox Group Policy in Windows Active Directory does NOT affect/influence our Portable App (the latest version) in Windows 8.1
At this time it realy does...

Does this exists? I am NOT looking for on option on the properties off the GPO in Windows Active Directory. I already discussed this with our GPO experts ( in Enterprise of 30000 workstaions)

With kind regards, Ben

The updater doesn't update anymore

Submitted by Stamm on February 26, 2019 - 10:46am

Each time I launch the updater, it says that the following apps are available :

  • 7-Zip 19.00
  • McAfee Stinger 12.1.0.3047
  • Mozilla Firefox 65.0.1
  • Notepad++ 7.6.3

When it finishes, the apps are still the old version. The updater seems to work on the surface: it's downloading, the progress bars are filling, etc. But no work is done in the end.

Is there a way to enable logs to see what happens behind the scene?

Freeciv - Translate doesn't work

Submitted by whitetiger on February 21, 2019 - 3:09am

If I change the language in LanguageSetting, Freeciv is always started in English.
Instead if I follow the instructions on this page, launching Freeciv directly from the folder (without going through PortableApps), the game is started with the correct language.

The only difference is that on portable apps the file is called freeciv-gtk3.cmd and not freeciv-gtk2.cmd.

Resource Hacker, new edition

Resource Hacker v5.1.7 (installer) was released on 5-Aug-2018 by the developer
Current PortabelApps version is v5.1.6.
Are there any plans to create PAF of v5.1.7 ?

I am not sure which Forum to use, please feel free to move my thread to where ever you think it should be

Thank you Smile
