Restore failure

Submitted by sblandin on July 12, 2007 - 3:46am

Hi to everybody,

I experienced a problem similar to the one described in this post:

But for some unknown reason I cannot reply directly to it.

I downloaded Portable Apps Base Edition and I wanted to use it to restore my three weeks old backup (I have lost my thmbdrive :-().

I have tried the operation on two different machines with the same results: restore stopped to OpenOfficePortable folder.

Microsoft FolderShare w/o Install?

I saw the tutorial at Lifehacker about using Microsoft Foldershare to COMPLETELY syncronize (bookmarks, cookies, extensions, themes, etc.) different firefox installations between machine. However, it seems as if you have to run an installer to use Foldershare, and obviously, you can't always do that.

Has anyone had any luck using this program without installing it?

Has anyone else had file associations get deleted on their host machine?

I know this is going to read like FUD, but I'm a huge PortableApps fan and was a devoted user until recently. My hope is that someone will know something about what happened with my install so that I can get back to using portable apps again.

I'm a library school graduate student. Between my internship, the computer lab at school, classroom machines, and my home machine, I regularly use between 4 and 7 different computers a week, almost all of them XP. PortableApps has saved me dozens hours in just a few months and made me significantly more efficient than I could have been without it.
