When I try to open an Open Office application, this error message occurs and the application doesn't open:

The application cannot be started.
The user interface language cannot be determined.

What could I do?

Nice greetings, Dirk

Well, I've been doing some serious thinking about portable apps lately... especially since I'm on a machine without admin rights. I have several questions that (hopefully) will be answered by someone with certain legal knowledge of their answer - if someone gives me the wrong answer, I might end up in trouble (which would really stink, since I like staying on the right side of things.... :P)

Do you use portable apps, not just on your Flash drive/external media but on your desktop computer also?

If so, are there are installed applications that you cannot live without, or haven't found a suitable portable alternative for?

I use very few installed applications on my desktop PC these days as there is a portable alternative for just about everything I do. I also feel good about not having to rely on expensive, commercial software to fulfill my needs.

Hi,

I was wondering about the apps on [link removed by mod Tim] a lot of them seem to be software that costs money (dreamweaver, etc) and I was wondering if they are legal. I dont think they are...are they?

Thanks for all replies!!!!

When I double click a file downloaded here to open a portalbe application a window opens asking for the language and then after clicking "OK" a second window says something like "...will assist you...through the installation...".

Does that mean there will be installed / copied / written anything to the registry or to somewhere else, what will stay on the PC (besides of a single folder with will contain the files of the application)?

Hi everyone. I have a question: I've installed NetBeans portable in my flash drive. The executable file is in "K:\PortableApps\netbeans\bin" and I don't know how to configure to see the netbeans.exe in the portableApps menu. If the .exe is in "K:\PortableApps\netbeans" I can see the netbeans icon but when I execute it, it fails. How can I do to put the path on \netbeans\bin instead of \netbeans?
I hope you can help me! I need it!!

Called "rocketdock"?

Right now my Sony USB drive is having a hard time running multiple apps. They just hang, and when I go to dismount the drive it takes a good 3 minutes after closing everything before allowing me. Are there any suggested high-speed drives to use?

I noticed that VLC 1.0.2 has been released, and also Thunderbird 3 Beta 4 has also been released

I've got both on my USB, but I'd like to update to the newer versions

Any time soon that they'll be updated, because I've not yet noticed it

and could somoneone please upload the installers to Dropbox or MediaFire

The firewall here at the library is way too strict due to filters, so I can't access Source Forge in order to download the installers to update Thunderbird + VLC
