I'm trying to create a portable web server by using a compiled autoit script, but I have to use absolute paths to get the thing to run properly from the portable apps menu. It worked fine when I ran it in explorer from inside the drive without absolute paths or drive letter, but not in portable apps. What's the deal?

Hi all,

The MSI file format has the advantage of being a standardized format for containing all the information associated with installing applications.

If an MSI file only contains instructions to copy files to an install directory, it is portable. If it contains instructions to e.g. change the registry, it's not. Other rules apply too, of course.

Hi everyone

I am having trouble with the IPAM - it will not open and I get an error message when I click on it. The individual programs work well (I am happy with what I have seen so far) when I open them from their individual icons in the various folders but I would like to use the main menu.

Can anyone help?

Has anyone found a PIM that will sync with Yahoo. I have been using essential PIM currently, tried sunfire and thunderbird. But what I am looking for is a PIM (cal, address, todo) that will keep my yahoo up-to-date. there are several computers that I use and add appointments etc that has no internet connection. I would like to view and make appointments then return to computer with internet and sync to yahoo. Any suggestions

I recently installed the portableapps suite and a few extra applications on my 1 Gb Sandisk USB drive. Works like a charm. However, the menu suffers from graphical glitches on my install, shown in the link below:

Main problems are the black areas and the fact that the "close" button is not where it's supposed to be (the Documents/Music/Movie/... menu also suffer from glitches: the "currently marked" is far to large).

I now officially own a PortableApps.com Flash Drive! Thanks John

I just came across this article via this Slashdot article and thought I'd post it for discussion here. My apologies if it's already been linked to.

I checked first... it is GPL...

If you have Firefox open 24/7, like me, you can use WebSudoku... Looks like it uses AJAX to make it dynamic, so it's just as good as the program here. You'll need an adblocker though...

I was looking at a few older project threads, and I saw a few users mentioning "Liberta"... What's Liberta?
