[Fixed] PortableApps version of InfraRecorder doesn't launch in Windows 10 x64

Submitted by SGB74 on August 26, 2015 - 9:11pm

I went to launch the portable app and a splash screen presented itself then disappeared, and after waiting several minutes nothing happened. I then opened the task manager to see InfraRecorder was sitting there and running but no GUI so I then ended the task and tried again and got same results. Should there be some list of some sort that will let users know which apps aren't currently compatible with Windows 10 to possibly prevent users from upgrading and rendering their commonly used apps useless.

PortableApps installation differences?

Submitted by PortableGood on August 22, 2015 - 4:39pm

When an app is installed via the (great) PortableApps Platform, are there any differences between that installation and when you manually perform an "installation" of a portable app? The typical manual "installation" technique is to create a new folder and copy all the contents of an archive (typically zip on Windows) into that folder.

Thanks!

DYNAMIC Disk to Basic

Submitted by DreamFire on August 20, 2015 - 2:41pm

Recently my laptop died before I got a chance to fully back up my documents.

I got a new laptop and a usb converter to be able to get the data off the old drive.

When I go to the disk management in Windows 10 the old drive shows up as dynamic disk and will not let me access the files.

I was wondering if there is any apps that can access the data without loosing any of it.

The laptop specs:

Toshiba Satellite C55-B
4 gb of memeory
64 bit windows 10 Home Edition

Portable apps not working again after Windows update

Submitted by zorro103 on August 20, 2015 - 10:03am

Hello,

I'm on Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bits

I use Adobe Flash CS5.5 Portable for old compatibilities issues.

To make it work I've uninstalled KB3045999, KB3022345 & KB3068708

It worked perfectly till today but unfortunately after a windows update the annoying window "The application was unable to load a required virtual machine component...." has appeared again.

Any idea of which update could conflict again with portable apps ?

Thanks

Hi,
I have problem with platform in one specific situation.
When going to Apps -> Install a New App, browser window for selecting .paf.exe pops up.
If I click on anything other than that selection window or PortableApps Platform window,
focus is moved there and selection window and PortableApps Platform window becomes invisible.
There is now way to move focus back to selection window or PortableApps Platform window.
If I click on PortableApps Platform icon in tray, it appears just for a split of second and disappears again.
