Regular .exe programs

Submitted by jordi.c on August 11, 2007 - 7:57am

Hello,

I can only install .paf.exe programs when I chose for "Install a New App".

I have Office 2007 (word,excel,powerpoint) in portable format, how can I add these executables so they are coming visible in the apps menu like Firefox Portable.

I also have other programs which are portable and would like to see in the list under FireFox is this possible?

On softpedia.com I downloaded foobar2000 portable, why cannot I install it like Firefox Portable.paf.exe (Options->Install a New App.)?

Does the portable apps suite run via USB on new Nokia E90 smartphone?

Submitted by martinlandau on August 10, 2007 - 7:49am

Hi,

I'm considering purchasing a new Nokia E90 but wanted to understand if the portable apps suite would be fully compatible / able to perform if used via USB and the mini_USB connector. The utility of the phone would be greatly enhanced if I could use the same suite between laptop & phone.

Does anyone have any personal experience in this area or know of any online data that may help?

Cheers.

Faulty downloads from mirrors

Submitted by neilav on August 10, 2007 - 2:43am

Topic intensions: Discuss why any downloads from mirrors may not work and how they can be fixed.
Say a download is the wrong size, did the problem occur when the file was uploaded or downloaded, does this happen when downloading from a specific mirror, how many times did you try to download the file etc.

So here it goes: Download PortableApps_Suite_Standard_1.0.exe (89.5MB); attempts 3 with sizes 27, 42, 25MB; mirror Unknown (sorry), download manager firefox.

I’m going to try different mirrors.

When you're on the forums tracker, and you click on "new", it's supposed to send you to the FIRST new reply. Lately it's been taking me to the LAST reply. I have to scroll up to see any other "new" replies that someone has made. Is anybody else having this same issue?

VOB to x264 video encoder

Submitted by horrormaster34 on August 8, 2007 - 9:13pm

I need a new portable program to encode VOB (DVD files) to x264 files. I used to use MediaCoder, but now it isn't portable since you need a copy of Visual C++ installed otherwise you get an error when trying to start the program. I've tried SUPER, but it never loads when I try to start the program.
