The .NET framework comes through Windows Update and is classified as "Important". I know because I got it today. Now I don't know how updates work on XP nowadays, but the default in Vista is to download and install all updates as soon as they are found. This means that almost all machines with an internet connection running Vista will have .NET 3.5 now. Of course, this doesn't mean .NET is no longer a dependency to worry about since XP is still what one typically encounters, but those who routinely work with Vista will now likely to be able to use .NET apps without worry.

Hello everyone,

I'm about to buy an USB stick. I've experienced PortebleApps before and i loved it!
But now there is no good way to easely secure your device with an password. At least, not the way like U3 does, mount the device, and first a password, before you can do annything. But the U3 has not the portable apps i want (xammp, Notepad++ and so on).

Okay I have been visiting pen drive apps and pen drive linux which is very similar to portable apps allot lately. I have knowticed that pen drive linux has their own linux distribution or version of linux. Are there any plans that the portable apps community has to make their own linux distribution? When I saw that linux was coming soon I was thinking about something like Ubuntu or Mandriva or Fedora.

I am making a directory for you if you want to run linux,
Persistent linux- A boot-able linux.
Vm Linux-Linux- As a quest opperating system under windows.

Almost all of you could find this sites useful.

Persistent
Try Unetbootin. It will make supportive hardware of portable memory bootable.

*Many distributions of linux have utilities to make their distribution bootable on a usb drive.
Also try infra recorder to burn a disk image to a cd.

I don't know who I should be telling but I am frequently seeing a warning message at the top of the page saying The selected file /var/www/vhosts/portableapps.com/httpdocs/tmp/filev2h35O could not be copied.

Hi all,

I think that most of you know the NVDA project.
I wonder if it could be possible to add this app in your portable suite ?

From what Ihave read I understand that I can load a flash drive with Portable Apps which includes Fire fox email

My question is this once I have the email provider on my flash drive do I have to set up an account in the same way as I did on my computer

Once set up can I then send and receive emails from someone elses computer using the portable Apps email

can I use another computer even though that computer has no email installed

Micantar

I have a few questions about the INI File.

Is safe to have multiple instances running?
Are there any other things that you recomend adding?
I want to know what to add for all apps or a specific one (please specify).

Not getting the Autorun menu and "What would you like Windows to do?" dialog box on my home PC for my flash drive and phone. They don't even show up in My Computer. They work as expected on the work computer, though. Any suggestions?

I would like to put portableapps onto an SDHC card which I would leave permanently in my Samsung netbook. How can I get some sort of a start menu (possibly from an icoin in the system tray) to show and run the programs on the SD card?
