What’s going on with the forum? Hacked? There are a lot of old posts labeled -nuked- and posted by the same user

New to forum. I'm trying to use PortableApps platform across machines with a flash drive, specifically with AIMP. When I load up data onto the common flash drive, it stays while I use a specific computer, BUT when moving to another machine, if the DRIVE LETTER CHANGES all of the associations from that drive are lost. How do I make the apps on PortableApps truly "portable?" THANK YOU, in advance, for your help.

Hi,

I was wondering if there was any chance to see the policy around 64-bit applications evolve in the near future. IMHO, I find the statement that "there is normally little or no performance benefit from running a native 64-bit app instead of its 32-bit build" somehow disputable and I would really love to see some important apps in 64 bits (in my case, I'd like to see FireFox, Thunderbird, LibreOffice and Inkscape in native 64-bit builds).

"this app cant run on your pc"- get this on start.exe
getting this on pc with windows 10 ib\nstalled, ran fine a few days ago, i think there was a windows update and now wont run, just get this error message - help.

Since a couple of months there is a problem with the update-download of DatabaseBrowserPortable_5.3.2.13_English.paf.exe :

Download Error: Access Forbidden (403) on file http://portableapps.com/redirect/?s=p&a=DatabaseBrowserPortable&d=pb&p=h...

This might be a simple question. I am using a USB to carry all the portable apps. It works very well except when I change computer, the USB drive letter also change. I set the Google download fold in the USB itself e.g. e:\download. This doesn't work for different computers. Any solution? Thanks in advance.

Hi,

The portable version of Thunderbird is pretty old. Is it still supported in the sense that there will be updates coming, or should I look somewhere else?

Thanks

I just reset my OS, and thanks to PortableApps, I was up and running after a quick copy-extract of a .7z file. So far everything seems to work fine, but I'm just curious if there's something vital that I missed by not using the built-in backup option.

What is the possibility of bundling all the apps in zip format? And then just unzipping the large file onto a usb drive, so then you'd have all the apps you'd need? I am currently installing all the apps on a SSD. It is ridiculous that I have to click "agree" and "install" for nearly every app. Taking well over two hours to install 400+ apps on this drive. I've already tried using a mouse macro that clicks on these buttons, but it is hit and miss, doesn't work all the time. Just seems like a lot of work to install even say 30 apps.
