PortableApps.com Platform

Many people are familiar with Rainmeter, the application which features many widgets or "skins" that appear on your desktop that you can use. Users can download additional skins from the Rainmeter website. Some of the more tech-savvy users can even program their own.

As I was listening to music with AIMP, I noticed that the bottom right section of the PortableApps.com Platform has an empty space. Then an idea grew in my mind, "why open up my music player in a new window when I can just use the platform?"

hey everyone. I have a small problem. When I try to add a new portable app manually I get the following error message. I noticed it first with Spybot Search and Destroy however when I uninstalled it and tried to manually add another app I get the same error message. I was able to use the built in app installer and reinstall spybot search and destroy with out a problem. Any Ideas?

1st error states: Access violation at address 568D5404 in module 'xmllite.dll'. Read of address FFFFFFFF

2nd error states: External Exception C015000F.

Hello,

I am unable to update the platform when it is moved to a folder, I mean when is not at the root

Perhaps my config file is broken, please can you put me on the track to resolve the path.

Edit;
Sorry I have not been clear. Is it possible to rename PortableApps folder into something else, in the example here MyApps

I only noticed this problem today when it happened on my computer where i have the desktop icons enabled. I did Notice it at my school but they used the Group Policy to disable it until recently where i thought that the group policy was defective on every one elses machines. Support would be really nice as i like the desktop icons as much as any one else . Frankie

Hi,

after the 12 beta 4 update the mouse scrolling in the platform is very slow. Please check it out!

Kind regards

I'm still on LibreOffice 4.2.5 and wanna stay at the legacy branch. Is it possible to hide the update message for version 4.3.0 somehow?

Sorry if this is a duplicate post, but the normal resolutions for this problem have not worked for me so far.

Upon trying to launch Start.exe I am receiving a, "The PortableAppsPlatform.exe file is not a valid PortableApps.com release and can not be launched," message.

I hesitate to even bring this up since my use case might be totally unacceptable, but I use PortableApps from my hard drive and run instances of it two VMs where I've mapped drives (shared folders in VirtualBox parlance). I get that there are some "collisions" associated with trying to start up a specific app at the same time from the two VMs (and live with that).

Since we updated to Windows 7 at work, I can never properly eject my portable hard drive without rebooting the computer and yanking the cord at the BIOS screen. (Ever a flair for the dramatic.)

I've Googled after the issue, and going back to the early days of 7 (and possibly Vista as well) it seems the OS does a couple other things to hook into portable drives that, best I can tell, means you're not ejecting your drive cleanly without rebooting the computer or at least logging out of Windows first.

Hi,

I learnt about PortableApps today and am trying to install one particular Java app to USB.

(I m currently using an HP netbook with Windows 8.1, 64 bit)

As advised in http://josm.openstreetmap.de/wiki/USB_Stick

I went to

https://portableapps.com/download

downloaded, and ran the .exe file

A front end for portable apps appeared.

Downloaded from

​https://portableapps.com/apps/utilities/java_portable_launcher

to my USB drive, double clicked on the downloaded file.
