General Discussion

Read a couple days ago that Sun had been bought out by Oracle and that they will soon be charging 79 bucks for Open Office so if you want the latest you might want to download it.

I'm running Windows 7 32-Bit on my new laptop and have problems launching most portable apps regardless if they come from here or are other portable apps.

If I do a standard startup they claim I don't have rights to use the registry. I have to right click and choose Run-As-Administrator.

The program does launch but shows noting. I have to kill the process in 'Task Manager' manually.

Everytime I use the autoupdate this shows up:

"PortableApps.com AppCompactor 2.0.1"

I've tried to go through with the update several times, i.e. keeping the box checked and have it download and install, but it still shows up every time I "Check For Updates".

I've uninstalled AppCompactor, and made sure the folder was deleted from the "PortableApps" folder on my drive, yet it still shows up when checking for updates.

I've even unplugged the drive after uninstalling AppCompactor and next time I plug my drive in and check for updates...

"PortableApps.com AppCompactor 2.0.1"

A special build of OpenOffice, called OpenOffice4kids, is now available. It's a simplified version of OpenOffice, with more accessible icons, etc., designed to help kids getting involved in OpenOffice.

I downloaded the app, and installed it into a folder with my other portable apps. The OO4Kids folder contains a single executable, from which the components are opened.

I have been using portableapps installer to create installers for various programs. All it does is create the app info and copies that and the exe to the flashdrive. I have installed numerous programs which require extra dll's to run. I hav copied them into the folder manually and it works then. I want to know if their is a way to add the extra files to the installer so that I do not have to continually manually copy the extra files into the portable app folder

Well we were supposed to have beta 6 in July and the final of 2 by the end of July.

Its now nearly September and we haven't had any.

Any progress on any of these or is it a dead duck.

Does anyone have an idea on when their database will be up and running again so I can actually download and try out some awesome themes, or say, better learn to build my own?

I'm also curious about the R34 menu mod.

Why are the app updates piling up again?
Is there a reason John is holding back the updates?

A new installer or format changes perhaps?

Hey everyone, it's been a while, but it looks like there's a crapload of apps now. So... does anyone know a fast way to install everything into the suite? It would literally take hours to install it all manually, and the "Standard" suite version only has 10 apps or so.

I looked at the 2.0 beta updater, but it seems to only update the apps you've already installed, and not actually install new ones.
