Application elevation in Vista

Submitted by ubuysa on December 19, 2008 - 11:11am

I often run PortableApps from a RAM stick on my own Vista 32-bit PC. Some applications (Eraser, for example) require elevation in Vista. I'd like to be able to right-click in the PortableApps menu and select "Run As Adminstrator" but that's not available.

How can I elevate PortableApps applications? And no, I don't want to turn UAC off in Vista.

Thanks!

PS. Forgive me if this has been discussed already, I did a forum search but found nothing.

Opera

I have a USB version of Opera 9.62 but the 9.63 version has the security updates. Is there a portable 9.63 that I haven't found yet and/or will letting usb opera9.62 auto update destroy portablility?

Sourceforge sux

I was good, then. But now I can´t download anything. It´s liek they sold all the servers and just kept the old 486 or something. It takes at least 20 retries, and the mirrors are all crap. Can´t you use something else instead? Filehippo or what ever. I´m trying to avoid Sourceforge, because I don´t have the time to wait till I´m (very) old.

Thx.

PS.: Sry just pissed off right now...
Delete it if you want, I don´t care.

Since I searched for a Forum that was kinda like a Questions and Comments area, I found nothing about that, so in my lame ability to search, I created a Kudos page...
Please don't hurt me...

I just wanted to say, You guys (all who participate in the Portable Apps) are awesome, and your doing a great Job, and I challenge anyone who likes these apps to, Leave a Kudos or such type message here.

Again sorry if there is something like this and I missed it, I have already proven my inability to search well once in the Request forum, so there...

complete "including kitchen sink" suite download and install?

Submitted by maphew on December 17, 2008 - 1:41pm

I love portable apps, thank you!

I recently acquired a 16gb usb stick so space requirements for the moment are effectively not a concern. The number of apps has grown considerably (yay!) and clicking through all the links to download and install each one is taking quite some time. I'd rather install everything and remove the few I don't need. May we have portable apps suite which includes ALL of the available portable apps?

thanks again,

App versions in the Suite

Submitted by WillJitsu on December 16, 2008 - 5:54pm

I tell people about Portable Apps all the time and advise them to download the Suite.

Does it include all of the latest versions of the apps or are they the version that those apps were at the time the installer was created?

Will they need to manually update each app in the suite?

Thanks!
