General Discussion

I was using Internet Exploder on my school's PC to go over and download some portableapps, when something odd occurred. I went to install google chrome, and it asked if I want to open or save the program as normal. (the only good feature of IE imo) I hit open, and it said that it won't run because it isn't named online.paf. However, the problem is if you open a file in Internet Exploder instead of hitting save, it give it a random name before opening it, therefore breaking the installer.

Another reason to hate IE I suppose.

Hi all,

I just installed Win7 x64 and alot of my portable applications I have running from USB drive started to give problems.Majority will still work even if the error is present.

Nevertheless I have one application is very usefull AVS Converter and I cant get it to work. It closes the aplication and Issues me and Event log error Application Eid 1000 -- 100

Any ideas? Or can anyone try the application on similar OS?

Thanks

I've noticed a lot of themes for PortableApps menu and other portable launchers on DeviantArt So I thought I'd start a group **I don't intend on this being official PortableApps.com group** just thought it might be a good place to combine and gather the people who upload to DeviantArt into one gathering... I'd also like this to be a group where people can add themes/skins for Apps that are portable as well as the awesome PortableApps.com platform, geekmenu or any of the other portable platforms/launchers or menus..

Is there a portable software or something similar available (free) that will allow me to put a password on my usb drive so that should I lose it no one can get in to all the data I have on there?

Whatever happened to the portable apps updater. is it dead. i have a running version on my flash-drive. it looks like its been removed due to licencing issues.

Have these been fixed. if so where is the latest version.

if not when is it coming

How do I add RoboForm2Go to PortableApps.com menu?

I was looking at the Utorrent website, when something grabbed my eye.

http://www.utorrent.com/featured/utorrent-for-usb

It looks like Utorrent has their own Utorrent portable for those who buy one of their USB drives. The description sounds verry similar to the one PortableApps uses for their apps, and PA already has their own Utorrent Portable available for free.

Can anyone shed some light on this?

I just discovered portableapps.com.
I am developing a for-profit software application that will run from a portable drive or flash drive.
I am considering bundling some of the apps from portableapps.com on the drive as well.
The product will be sold as a physical device (the drive with software) that comes with a subscription/license-based pricing structure.
It would be nice to "include" some of the portable apps I've seen listed on the site...

Thanks in advance for any comments, tips, advice or rants that this elicits.

One of the workstations that I use my portableapp suite on is a Pent. 4 2.00 ghz with 522k ram and runs windows 2000 sp4. I am not an administrator so installing new software or making changes is virtually impossible hence the use of portable apps suites. I carry the usb drive from various locations. all are connected to T1 line via a corporate proxy. My question is this is there a recommend browser that will work with best with this machine. Current Firefox and opera lag and hang up, chrome doesn't even work.
