Hi

So, I had an idea to install a load of portable apps to my website, and have a link on the website so I could use them anywhere, even if I forgot my USB stick.

Now, I have installed Portable Apps on USB, iPod, HD, etc, and I have managed to get the apps installed onto my webspace, with the .EXE showing up on the website.

The problem I am having though, is that I can't seem to get them to run; When I select the .EXE files (I am using Windows to test all this out), the web browser just asks me to save the file, and not run.

Hello,

I would like to know if it's possible to install the .paf.exe files without user interaction into a certain directory, in the way the PortableApps Suite does.

My researches with Google and within the source code of the PA Suite came to different results:

Just a idea a "Portable Apps Development Suite"
Custom theme and icons.
Apps it would have:
Notepad++ Portable
NSIS Portable
KompoZer Portable
PortableApps.com Installer
XAMPP
IcoFX Portable
Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition
PuTTY Portable
7-Zip Portable
Command Prompt Portable
Java Portable
Lightscreen Portable
WinMd5Sum Portable
PortableApps.com AppCompactor

I was wondering how to update an individual portable app, not the suite. Thanks guys!

I really like how programs such as Chrome and Skype do not have the PortableApps splash screen. I wish there was a way to suppress that on other PortableApps.

Not trying to take anything away from this awesome resource, but the splash screens bug me, and whether it is fact of fiction, it provides me the illusion of a slower load of the program.

I've created a set of 31 unofficial PortableApps.com related dock icons:
- 5 flat HDDs (red, blue, black, Win7 and Music Production Suite)
- 2 big HDDs
- 21 logo icons (clay, wood, stain, neon, Vista, 8bit,...)
- 2 patheme icons and one for EraserDropTarget
All in 256 px png format

Preview & Download

One for each drive/stick

Hello.... My name is Matthew... vs50d1969.

I'm born in USA and now living in The Netherlands...Holland.

It's along story...but i'll make it short. I needed something to keep passwords for all the web sites and banks and this and that....you know how it goes.

Some guy at a computer store said to go to portable apps and check it out.

I did.... I'M SOLD!

This is the best thing since sliced bread and the internet.

I use it all the time.... my wife uses it also.

I don't know what I would do with out your help.

It would be nice to have current guidance on what to do when an application displays an automatic update notification. I have seen a post from 2006, for example, and it would be nice to have newer information.

For example, Thunderbird recently notified me that there was a newer version, and since I didn't know at the time whether it was safe or not, I did not install it. But this is not a question about Thunderbird.

My Anti-virus program reports that xcdns.dll in the PChat plugins folder is a Trojan DNS program that monitors and steals my information and sends it back to someone.

Can someone test the portableapps PChat and tell me what's going on?

Hello. I am new at this forum so i am sorry if this goes in wrong place.

How long does it take to put Portable Linux? It has been saying "coming soon" for like a year.
