installing apps

Submitted by tinker on May 8, 2008 - 8:18am

I downloaded thunderbird portable and tried to install it on my usb with portableapps but it doesn't work. Tried it 2 different ways:

1) install new app menu in portableapps

2) clicked on thunderbird paf.exe file on my pc

Both did not work.

Also, tried to upgrade firefox to new version using same 2 ways above. Didn't work.

What is problem?

Removing the word "portable" from an application's menu item

Submitted by reepicheep on May 8, 2008 - 7:12am

My version of the PortableApps menu has a load of "portable" applications, for example I have "Abiword Portable", "Clamwin Portable", "Firefox Portable", "GAIM Portable", "GNUcash Portable", "Inkscape Portable", "KompoZer Portable", "On-screen Keyboard Portable", "OpenOffice.org Calc Portable", "OpenOffice.org Writer Portable", "Scibus Portable", "Sudoko Portable", "Sunbird Portable", "Thunderbird Portable". That's an awful lot of "Portable"s. I'd like to remove that word.

Registry

How come whenever I run a program off my flashdrive with portable apps like firefox it saves it to the registry? How is it considered possible if it saves to registry?

but i sereously think we need a MANDITORY no-go apps list because no one seems to be reading the request apps requirements. we would have things like Microsoft Windows and Office as well as other apps like closed source apps.
