I love portable apps, I use them all the time. Love the concept.

I have an application which I would like to include in the portable list.

Please see here: https://portableapps.com/node/59992

However, since it requires .NET 4.0, it is not allowed. The reason being that Windows XP, 7, 8 etc. do not come with .NET and so it wont run on some machines.

Backup only data/settings AND key files for automatic reinstall/update

Submitted by holyhen on January 18, 2020 - 7:30am

I have PortableApps running on the data partition of my Win10 PC. I backup most of the partition to a NAS on a file-basis (using the heavily configurable Syncovery) regularly.

When backing up the PortableApps directory and all of its subfolders, I would like to omit program files and only keep
- app data
- app settings
- as well as the list of installed apps itself.

Warranty.

What is the warranty for the PortableApps 32GB thumb drive. I pulled mine out if the USB drive and the USB plug & insides remained in the hub!

Please advise.

Thanks in advance ...

Source, Target installation

Very interesting looking software
I cannot find where it should be installed however.
May I introduce a few terms so I can better understand the architecture.
Source computer = My computer where I have all my apps installed/licenced etc.
Target computer = Where I want to run an portable app.
Cloud location = E.g. Onedrive etc.
Where should I install PortableApps.com?
On the target computer? But I cannot do that - not available to me.
