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?

Hi,

I tried to run PortableApps from a CD ROM (the media was actually a CDRW, but no writing was possible), but some applications failed (Notepad++, for example).

Isn't there a way to run from a read-only media? Is this application specific, some need to write on the media, others don't?

I also tried to format the CDRW as UDF but this would not work either (for some reason the PortableApps menu is not shown) and it is not portable if run from another computer without CD burner.

Regards,
Ricardo

John, it appears to me that there are already versions of the Views and Simplenews modules compatible with Drupal 6...according to these:

Simplenews
Views

Am I missing something here?

Hey Neorame, what program(s) do you use to make all your neat graphics?

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?

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.

I have a request: How about an option to launch an app after installing it?

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.
