Running portable apps now makes Windows crash

Submitted by prr on February 21, 2020 - 12:50am

The last two days at work, running W10 desktops, I have made windows crash (getting a blue screen that talks about a dump (like the one seen here: https://www.drivereasy.com/knowledge/how-to-fix-blue-screen-of-death-bso...) after clicking on a portable app on my flash drive. I have searched a bit and read that the cause can be withdrawing the drive before Windows has properly shut the drive down.

[Fixed] DB Browser 3.11.2 missing MSVCR120.dll

I can't get this to run, there's a small kick in the CPU usage according to Task Manager but then nothing.

I have two previous versions of the same thing, all located as separate directories under C:\Portable Apps\SQL Utilities but I've also tried it from other locations (and downloaded it twice, just in case).

The other two work fine, and produce entries in Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\sqlitebrowser\sqlitebrowser, but the new one doesn't get that far.

Can anyone suggest what I should try next please.

Where do updates go after PortableApps.com Platform downloads and installs them?

Submitted by ardouronerous on February 19, 2020 - 3:58am

Hello, I'd like to know where PortableApps.com Platform stores the updates after downloading and installing them.

I'd like to be able to keep a copy of the exe.paf files downloaded by PAP, instead of downloading them a second time off the website.

Thanks.

Hi,
I would suggest you to create a telegram channel to communicate the announcement of the new programs or a new version of them.
Is it possible?
Thanks a lot

Hey,

I'm currently encountering a problem I didn't have with Firefox (I'm a bit sorry), but Chrome crashes and doesn't record the Google session on the external hard drive, I have several PCs and I need the application fixed as soon as possible, I know you're a volunteer, but I also hope it will improve our experience.

Thanks

Please allow .NET applications?

I love portable apps, I use them all the time. Love the concept.

I have an application which I would like to include in the portable list.

Please see here: https://portableapps.com/node/59992

However, since it requires .NET 4.0, it is not allowed. The reason being that Windows XP, 7, 8 etc. do not come with .NET and so it wont run on some machines.
