General Discussion

Sometime next week I'll make the leap from WinXP SP3 to Win8.1 as in, I won't have anything running XP natively on any home kit and the WinXP kit will retire to a long, active and happy Linux life.

I've stood for XP continuation through use for a while, this is the swansong for me.

There are a handful of other Win XP users here, to them I say goodnight and thank you for the journey.

To everyone else that bore with me and others, thank you for your time.

I managed to get it to appear and function there once, but then I moved another file and now I only get error messages whenever it is clicked on from the portable apps menu.

For the life of me, no matter how many different combinations of drag and drops/copy and pastes I cannot get the app to appear on the portableapps menu and be clicked on and work.

Can someone help? I have searched the forums and found some similar posts but the solutions weren't clear and/or didn't work.

Hi All:
Portable Apps is great and the bundled automatic updating is great. One change would make it even greater. That change is to the behavior of the updater when an application, for whatever reason, can't update. What happens then is the update process stops and a pop up screen appears saying "the app can't update because .......". It then asks you to click OK. Why wouldn't I?

I have a problem:

When I start a executable like Calc Writer or any other I receive this message
"G:\libreOfficePortable\App\\Appinfo\Launcher\LibreOfficePortable.ini is missing[launch]:ProgramExecutable - what am I to launch?"

What must I do? Can anyone help me?

Thanks

Dear Forum,

I have recently installed a portable version of the useful HTML editor BlueGriffon in my USB drive. But it's not conformed to the PortableApps standard (I found it here in portablefreeware.com), so when I open the Platform, I see several "BlueGriffon" listed:

Hi,

Enigmail has been updated and will no longer support older versions of GnuPG. We will have a new update for the platform?

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.
