General Discussion

Yeah I know I'm not John Haller. Sorry. I should add I don't even know him. I just visit here.

Interestingly there seems to be no mention of this new update on the front page. I only found out because BetaNews linked to it, and the Firefox Portable page itself shows the new version. So I figured I'd post a topic in case anyone else missed it.

Annnd here's Firefox 2.0.0.9 release notes for good measure:

Hey guys! I have been working on making a ton of u3 compatible programs. I recently hosted about 17 out of 25 on my blog. This is including Adaware 2007 and Google Earth.

have fun and comment me

I've been using the fabulous XrX PortableApps Menu Mod (I hope the additional features will eventually make it to the official version). I have been using the startup/exit functionality as well as the ability to execute VBScripts. I have some custom programs that require writing to the registry, so I wrote a bit of VBScript code to handle this. I created a directory in the PortableApps folder called Scripts and placed two .vbs files: start.vbs and exit.vbs.

I close all of my open programs then use the eject button on the MOD R30 PAM, I get the message that all programs on the drive are being close and after that the drive can be ejected. When all is finished, and I try to eject my drive, I get:

"The device 'Generic volume' cannot be stopped right now. Try stopping the device again later."

If I run EjectScript 0.4 on my drive, it tells me that there is nothing running on the drive. So what is keeping the drive from being ejected?

Hey, I hope I didn't just miss this when I searched, but when the PAM searches for EXEs it includes EVERY EXE in a given folder. Is there a way I can remove the extra EXEs, like the ubiquitus w9xpopen?

Thanks a bunch, I use this every day!

John and all,

I really love PortableApps, and my dream would be to have the same little usb key working on windows, linux and mac os. I ran into http://openlina.org and it seems to me that this project makes that dream achievable. I could, of course, do my own open source project to merge the 2 concepts (PortableApps + OpenLina) but it would make much more sense that it comes from PortableApps.com.

Any thoughts?

Hi all

I'm trying to get the Smithtech applauncher util to work on my sandisk u3 drive.

I've successfully replaced the u3 partition with the custom iso that i downloaded from the smithtech website.

I also added truecrypt and its related files to the iso file using UltraISO so that it would keep my storage area clean.

when i try to add truecrypt as a startup option, clicking either the "save settings" or the "apply all" button gives me the following error:


Run-time error '-2147024891 (80070005)':

Access is denied.


U3 really doesn't work! At first I tried to use my dad's, but then it said it doesn't work on Vista! Then I got a newer one for my birthday, and OpenOffice for U3 (Which by the way they got from John T. Halley) said soffice.exe wasn't working! I'm removing it at this very moment.

What do you think about portable applications update manager? It would give options to update your usb software, check current and latest version. I think this is good idea.
