hi
awhile back when you did an update of your portable apps you would
just click update and they where downloaded and installed, now
you click on update and they are downloaded and then you have to
manually click every program to install, my last update had 78
new programs and i had to click on every program at least twice,
how can i change this to do it automatically so when i get back
it is all done, i dont have to site doing a heap of clicks
to install

I was thinking that a system like this could do wonders for portable apps, like Flatpak on linux could do. Any apps which need to modify the system like VirtualBox could be installed in a sandbox, and we end up having it come out in a window, not a desktop with that window!.

What are your opinions?

Hey guys,

I, and many other users, appreciate the time and trouble you've taken to create this useful approach to software.

Having said that—really, what is there to be gained by preventing people from running portable apps from wherever they want to, including their Program Files folders?

I know you started this project so that people who maintained multiple PCs could run software from their own flash drives—and that's great.

John,
I recently read some guidance which states Java v8 u161/u162 is the last to be genuinely free for non-commercial use. I haven't had the chance to review the fine detail yet, but given (1) JRE underpins such as LibreOffice and (2) you've already released JRE 8u181 I wondered what you saw the position as?

Hi,

Have done a number of searches for Windows smartphone "Portable USB Drivers" (my Internet access is on school Windows PCs that I do not have adm privileges but can use portable apps) but have found nothing.

Even searched for just Portable USB Drivers also nothing.

Appreciate any suggestions!!!

Thanks

Ken

Hi, I'm sorry to ask, but does LibreOffice come out this year? I'm trying to switch to an installable version, because it takes a while to get the portable version.

Tried to download process monitor from "https://portableapps.com/apps/utilities/process-monitor-portable" and the link goes to not found.

This is the final link where not found message occurs:
http://download3.portableapps.com/portableapps/ProcessMonitorPortable/Pr...

I tried to install "ProcessExplorerPortable_16.21_online.paf.exe" and it says "downloaded copy of Process Explorer is not valid and can not be installed".

Windows 8.1 core 64-bit
