install by copy?

Submitted by healer on August 24, 2010 - 12:45am

When I set up my first USB stick I ran PortableApps.com_Suite_Setup_1.6.1_English.exe. Will it work if I set up another one by copying from one stick to another or to a portable drive or to an external drive all the files including the hidden files and the system files if there is any? Does any file need to be at the root directory? Do the locations of the files really matter?

Well, I got the StartKey, and it really sucks

StartKey is MojoPac?
The website I downloaded it from said it was startkey, but then the installer was called 'MojoPac Installer'. I thought maybe it was like an InstallShield Wizard thing, but called MojoPac. Well, when I ran the program, it identified itself as MojoPac, not StartKey, so IDK WTF is wrong with the name.

Experience

codec or player?

Submitted by jchase520 on August 17, 2010 - 8:05pm

Ok , let me say , I have a LCD TV , that has a USB and a SD reader on it , and I load up some movies that were encoded with divx and some xvid movies , some movies work and some get a "codec not supported" error.

So my question , is there a way to either install / update the codecs on the TV , or can I install a player or a codec on my flash drive that will play through the tv?

Right way to upgrade a Portable Appl.

Submitted by saronno on August 15, 2010 - 3:10am

When one of the portable applications asks permission to upgrade itself directly from its own web site (which is not portableapps.com) what is the right way to behave?

Can the mentioned permission be given or is the newer release of the application to be waited for + downloaded from portableapps.com and "reinstalled" over the previous one as suggested on this site?

In other words:
do the two different ways of upgrading lead to the same final result or not?

Thanks
