General Discussion

I used to work in a university where malware was rampant on all the smaller local networks. I love the idea of my most,-used apps being portable on a stick. But I am a little worried about plugging a stick into a bunch of different computers. I would like to hear about people's experience with malware and it's prevention with portable apps. Also if Portableapps.com has recommended best practices for malware hygiene, I would be glad to know what they are.

Warmest regards, Andrew

When I compile with PortableApps I see that in exe have packed 32bit version off nsis plug-in.
Do it is possibile to pack instead x64 nsis plug-in?

Anyone else notice the https://download2.portableapps.com/portableapps/HWiNFOPortable/HWiNFOPor... link failing??

Hi,

Is there a way to install a PortableApps installer without wizard? I would like to create a script with a bunch of PortableApps installers without the user have to go through the installer wizard for all of them. I'm looking for sth like for instance:

NSISPortable_3.08.0.6_English.paf.exe -d "/dst_folder/"
AnotherAppPortable_3.08.0.6_English.paf.exe -d "/dst_folder/"

Cheers,

I recently updated from Windows 10 to Windows 11.

Earlier I had Google Chrome portable version 113.xxx, the 32-bit version.

A quick bit of googling suggests that Chrome is only available in 32-bit for Windows 10, but it's available in 32-bit or 64-bit for Windows 11.

After updating to Windows 11, I updated to the latest (current) available version of Google Chrome portable: version 114.0.5735.110.

When I look at Chrome > Help > About, I see: Version 114.0.5735.110 (Official Build) (32-bit)

Two questions:

Hi!

Firefox Portable shows the message that a new version is available (which could be downloaded by clicking on the Download button). Can this update method be used with the portable version?

Thanks in advance,

Hello! I am a newbie developer :D

I just made a notion portable in portableapps.com format. Is it okay? Is it safe to distribute outside or inside here or others? Is that any virus on that? Any suggestions? Thanks

Hallo everybody I am new just registered few minutes ago. Hope this is the right place to ask for this little issue.

A while ago I had installed into PortableApps platform a perfectly working Firefox Developer Edition 32bit i used a lot, but today the update was triggered and PortableApps replaced the woking 32 bi version with a not korking 64bit that doesn't work anymore on win7 32bit.

Where can I find the last 32bit version of the Firefox developer edition paf.exe file to get back che 32bit version of this great software?

How to get an offline zip of Chrome Portable (not the intaller)?
Thanks in advance,
Z

Hi all. I've implemented - hopefully correctly - a privacy consent prompt for the GDPR in AdSense. I *think* it only shows up for EU users based on IP geographic location but am unsure. Could users please report back if they see it and if they're in an EU location to let me know if it's working properly? Thanks!
