2 questions

Submitted by RayDavis on May 10, 2008 - 10:45pm

I just installed Portable Apps...
1) Is there an autorun feature, so that the menu will be loaded when I plug my thumb drive in? Otherwise I have to use the host's explorer to get to the .exe file.

2) Is there a tutorial somewhere?
Thanks

Minimum requirment for a USB Key to install Portable Apps

Submitted by pompier132 on May 10, 2008 - 12:28am

Hi, I'm new here,

A friend took the time to show me Portable Apps on his Cruzer Micro USB Key.

My question: What is the minimum size for a USB Key ? 1Gb? 2Gb? 4Gb?

Because I have two 1Gb, one has the u3 version on it and won't work with every PC.
And from what I saw with Portable Apps works better. Now like my question says, do I need to get a bigger USB Key?

everything download?

Sorry, newbie and whatnot...

I want everything new -- 1.1 beta/gamma/omega I don't care.

What's the *one* link I can use to continuously image my thumb drive with the latest of *everything*? I'm okay with crashing and whatever. I just want one (1) download.

thanks!

Pocket PC Portable Apps question

Submitted by Bob.a.ford on May 8, 2008 - 11:19pm

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows if Portable Apps works on Windows Mobile off an SD card. I really like using Sunbird, Thunderbird, etc... and I would really like to know this before buying a pocket PC. If anyone knows (Or has a pocket pc w/ and SD card) I would greatly appreciate an answer, I'm looking at a pocket PC with Windows Mobile 5.0, if it makes a difference.
Thanks Again!

StartPortableApps.exe

Submitted by mousseau on May 8, 2008 - 8:51pm

When I click on StartPortableApps.exe

Recourse to the the suggested pages has not been of much help.
I do not personally know anyone in the Open source movement, which I would like to support.

I get an error message that I must restart as shown:

"PortableAppsMen.exe has generated errors and will be closed by windows. You will need to restart the program." It also says that an error log has been created.

It does not work. There is no error log,
that is it does not do anythting.
I can access applications OK.
What is the StartPortableApps file about?
