How do I use java portable?

I have Java portable installed in the common directory.

When I try to launch a portable app and its says I need Java, how do I get it to recognise the portable file please?

Wondering if this has happened yet or not.

Be clear that I LIKE PA and have supported it. So the following is meant as constructive criticism...and I acknowledge that not everyone will feel the same.

Some Portable-Apps are specific to Windows OS but not on Mac/Linux OS.
Solution of this problem can be using Docker Virtuel Environment as a Virtual Machine but very light.

I tried a method to install very ease Portable-Apps into Docker Image through Wine emulator.

I hope that the big black surface, reminding of an undertaker’s site, is a temporary option, and that you will revert to the nice usual design. I hope...

I no longer regard Chrome as a PA, I use it quite happily in more than one work situation where I am performing a role. If someone wants to gather the mixed data from many people using a work system then they can feel free to do so. I think some people look for on-line stuff just because they are bored or want to play with google / chrome. That is none of our business.

What we should be wondering about is at what point, given the continuum, does Chrome stop being a PA ?

I think if someone said,

"Hey, there's this new browser, Chrome, can u guys make it portable?"

Hello !

With this problem : https://portableapps.com/node/43542 i'm oblige (f*king boring) to change Google Chrome Portable by Chromium Portable !

I already done all my settings and extension again : 2 hours (boring)

Hi,

I use many portable App from https://portableapps.com/ and i don't have so much problem !

Since i used Chrome Version 40.0.2214.115 for Windows, Multilingual Portable, 2 times i already lost my settings with this result : http://cdn.techdows.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Chrome-automatic-sett...

The 1st time i think it was a mistake of me, then i set again manualy chrome, and extentions and i saved each step of the config in a solid zip file to prevent again this problem :

00-ChromeBase.zip
01-ChromeConfig.zip
02-ChromeConfig-Extentions.zip

Hi,

New to portable apps. Have a question, and it may be a bit of a beginners question.

I also am in the process of making a USB that is a toolkit, e.g. using YUMI from pendrivelinux (which are not portable apps.)

Is there any disadvantage in installing PortableApps on such a USB stick rather than a simple off-the-shelf USB? Will everything run ok from the point of view of the Windows puter that navigates to the portable apps folder?

I just updated Xnview and cannot rename files. This is because the xnview.ini file is now under the apps folder rather than in the data folder.

I thought that all user settings stayed under the data folder and not the app folder?

Thanks
