General Discussion

Dear all,
may name is Claus and I would like to ask, its possible to install a Microsoft ".Net" environment and from Documentum the "DFC5.3 System" to PortableApps? Please let me know if this possible.
A other question are, when you have applications they will NOT asking, in which target folder you will install, in this case its possible to install this application to PortableApps too?....

Thanks a lot from
Claus

"How To Ask Questions The Smart Way"

I found this to be a very Long, but very interesting read.

Some of it would Not apply to us, but much of it does.

New comers of course will not likely see this before posting but it would be of great value to some members in how to improve their questions and responses.

Something I've just realised... Why are MD5 hashes posted for the installer downloads?!

This hash function was effectivly obsoleted years ago because of the security problems it has - specifically the ones when it's used for this purpose! Couldn't something like the SHA512 - or at a minimum the SHA1 hashes be posted instead? (Or as well as the MD5)

Since it's not possible for me to instal Java on my office computer (because I don't have administrator rights) and I.E. is the only browser they'll allow, is it possible to permanently block the message: 'Additional plugs are required bladiebla' in Firefox Portable?
Thx,

I am an avid user of Portable Apps and I cannot 'live' without my 8 Gb flashdrive anymore, using it at home and at the office. However, since a few weeks the office (=hospital) have renewed all pc's with standard software but also making it impossible to install any other software. I can understand this necessity (support other software etc) but for me this means that I can't download Java which I need for numerous websites. (I need administrator rights.. :))

Following your guidelines I have searched the forum, but I don't seem to find the answer to my question..

Hey,

Hmm... so this is rather annoying. I use an external hard drive for my PortableApps, and have an annoyance that has existed for awhile, but now that I think about it, only exists Vista/7, and UP-TO-DATE XP (e.g. I didn't have this problem with XP when I first got it, but don't know when it started). After plugging in my USB HD, it shows up as a Local Disk under My Computer, not a Removable Disk. However, it does get listed under the "Eject Removable Devices" tray icon. If I try to eject it, it tells me it's not removable. Ok...

i really want to learn how to create the portable software. how can i start? i have no idea how to do. it may be hard for me. i didn't know any code about those c+++, jave, html, asp, php, .

I've posted a quick address book icon app for those that would like to be able to directly launch the Mozilla Thunderbird, Portable Edition address book from the PortableApps.com Platform. It'll automatically create it and start it up for you.

Today, I will nag about:

• Clicking Next a lot is a little annoyance, but can really kick you hard.
• It would be great to just click Install.
• Would it be hard?
• For those who want to customize, clicking a check mark isn't much effort.
• For those who didn't install the platform, it could show the "Where to Install" box automatically.
• For those who get frustrated, there can be a menu option or something.

The Nagging:
