I am trying to package a portable app, but the installer creator displays an error saying that the help.html file is not found....
What to do? And how to make it?
Thanks in advance....

Hi,

I've probably canvassed the issue before, but I think now this PAL really needs Cloud Functionality, in that a list of applications can be Synchronized across platforms and mediums.

I am getting really tired of having to download programs over and over when this should happen automatically in my view, with the only conciliation being a prompt for updated programs.

Please Developer(s), see to it that this is done as a way of promoting future worth.

Cheers

I wonder if it's just me, but recently I've been noticing that portable apps are not being as actively updated/released as before.....
Previously, portable apps would be updated/released almost every day, but now, well, not many apps are being updated/released, even though there are LOTS of apps that are outdated....
Is PortableApps dying?

I received a file that should be opeded with firefox protable.exe
When I double click to open the file I get this error message:
Mozilla Firefox Portable edition cannot be started. You may wish to re-install to fix the issue. (ERROR: firefox.exe could not be found)

How can I fix this so that I can open the file I went sent?

Thanks

I tried downloading utorrent portable and it kept saying some sort of error.....
Could you please fix it?

Thank you.

I just discovered this project but have always disliked the binding of software to a computer. This is especially true when involved in trying to troubleshoot and repair problems where you cannot rely on either the software you want to use being available or the software that is installed being reliable. What led me to Portableapps was the need to uninstall software that couldn't be uninstalled using the software installed on the computer (i.e., Windows in combination with vendor supplied uninstaller).

Although I've been using the platform for quite a while, I haven't yet seen a new update for it ever since I started using it. I was just curious; if a new version for the platform is released, will I have to download the new version installer or will the platform automatically update itself?

Thanks in advance~

I was wondering if you ever plan to add this feature to the platform: the ability to lock a particular portable app with a password. This would be very useful for apps with sensitive data (a browser with passwords, for instance). OR, how about a master password for the whole platform? I personally think this would be a great new feature~

I have problems updating some apps. I have had it for a long time but now there are 4 apps that get error messages when I try to update them. I have tried to uninstall and reinstall them but do also get the same error. This has also been before and after the platform upgrade.

The Apps Are
Open Office to Apache Open Office
jPortable
Libre Office
Scribus

I get a message: “Download Error: Regret Error on file…”

I have the latest platform and other files are updating normally.

Is there a way I can solve this?

I have this weird problem with the portable apps launcher. On my windows 7 laptop the launcher appears as in all white and the only things that are visiable is the apps themselves, has anyone else seen this or know what is going on? I tried to reinstall it but it made no difference.
