Beta Testing

I have been using 2.0 Beta 4 since it was available and have been impressed with it. Only recently have I stumbled on a problem, and that is on my wife's netbook running Window 7 Starter edition.

Clicking on the Eject button, the OS will tell me it is safe to remove the device. However, the drive light remains on. That makes me a little nervous. The first time I had this happen, the next time I used my USB stick the OS suggested it had not shut down properly, and did I want to check and repair any errors. Have not seen this message again.

The PortableApps.com Launcher is your PAL in making applications portable. It's a universal launcher for which you don't need to write code. Instead, it's configured with an INI file (which goes in App\AppInfo\Launcher\AppNamePortable.ini), and uses a splash screen in App\AppInfo\Launcher\splash.jpg.

Recently I created this little executable that will install Adobe Flash for Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome for non administrators-- Need some testers.

Download it here: http://www.filedropper.com/flashfix01englishpaf

Please note that it will only work if you've installed the browsers in their default locations (using their original software installers).

So far it's been tested to work on Windows XP workstations that DO NOT have admin rights.

Freemind v.0.9.0_RC7 was released two days ago. (see: http://sourceforge.net/projects/freemind/files/) I was wondering if the PortableApps version would ever see the light of day?

I've searched the forums and people having been asking for this as far back as 2008. It's been in "RC" mode for about 2 years on SourceForge.

Category: Extention for Firefox Portable ONLY (more browser support still to come)
What I did: I downloaded a fresh copy of Firefox 3.6 and edited the Firefox Portable launcher and edited the installer to download flash player for your device. I also removed Firefox so that I wouldn't be redistributing it. The edited source code, along with the .bat's I used to make flash portable, can be found in Data\AFPP, FlashPlayerModified.nsi and AFPP_CookieKiller.bat; AFPP_CookieMonster.bat respectively.
