Hi guys

I'm working on a few apps that need flash player and older build to work right. So was wondering if their is anyway to add it to a PAF when creating it so it uses the portable flash within the portable folder and not the one from windows it self?

Thanks for any info on this.

found this article in one of the "Techie" newsletters I subscribe to. Although it is basic in nature, still I found it interesting so thought I would share.

K-30 has a virus!!!!!

I have Firefox Portable installed on a flash drive to keep my bookmarks and settings with me between public computers. Sometimes I wish to run it from my home computer that has Linux to retrieve saved bookmarks and such. Now I know there are ways to save bookmarks outside Firefox, but that's not what I'm looking for.
I had no problems running Firefox Portable 3.6.3 or even 4.0b8 under wine, but since I've updated to Firefox Portable 4.0.1 (and updated wine a couple times since I ran FFx Portable last), I can't do this any more. Wine gives the output:

hi all, i was just wondering if it is possible to create the same network thing as ironkey has but on a much lower scale, i.e. having to use your usb flash drive to gain access to a website or data base, then being able to have admin flash, and urser flashes, i find what they have done very intresting, and would like to try and make a basic one for fun.

thanks all

Hi,

I recently installed a new Win7 professional SP1 PC. This PC is member of a Windows 2008 R2-Domain. I have some portable apps on a network-share which always worked on my old XP-machine. These are firefox, miranda and thunderbird.

I can start the apps alright but neighter of them seem to can connect. When I want to go to http://google.com with FF nothing happens. There is no error or something, the tab just stays blank.

Same with miranda and thunderbird. No connection, no error. This also applies to the local network (e.g. a local mailserver for thunderbird)

I just started making my own virtual machine using VM player and ubunto as my OS and i see lots of discussions debating how to run java portably etc and was wondering if you could use a virtual machine on any computer, with your external hardrive or usb to use any java application???

why hasn't anyone thought of this.

Its been nearly 3 weeks since the last blog posting so im just wondering whats going on??

of course if John could point us at those nifty preloaded flashdrives that would be cool also.

I saw many threads for How to make an application portable.
But no thread has clear picture. Please clear this. Is any readymade tool for making this or how to do in proper format. Please explain in more detail about the process.

Is this not where malware can hide?
