PortableApps.com Platform

What ports (TCP/UDP) are used by the Updater ?
I have set Windows Firewall to block all incoming and outgoing connections and now I'm making exceptions, tight security!

what ports should I enter in the outbound exception list ?
Local ports, remote ports

Hello, when I try to use my USB/Port Appps on my XP PC, I plug it in and it comes up and I select "view files" and then select the Grey-white swoosh arrow circle START PA icon and I get: Internet Explorer has encountered a problem... and nothing happens except it wants to send Problem info to MSN.

Tomorrow I need to Aptana Studio 3.0.6 portable. you could create a portable within 24 hours?
It is very urgent

If you can not be Aptana, which is bluefish

I hope to answer through

In the Platform 'Next' Pre-Release 4.2 some fonts located in Data/Fonts folder do not install. The fonts that don't install are TrueType and have worked before

1. I want to save the installer files to a folder, so that I can install them on our servers without download again and again (like the Cygwin setup.exe does), it can save bandwidth and time in poor internet environment.

2. Wish the platform can start when Windows started.

3. For some application, I'd rather stay on the old version than update to new version, so when updating, I'll uncheck these applications, I wish the platform can 'remember' my choice, then next update I'll not need to uncheck them again. (like foobar2000 installer does, and Microsoft Update does)

Hi,

Would like to use portableApps on my laptop running win7 64bits rather than on a usb key. Is it possible? Can I install it in a folder in D: or do I need to make a special partition for it?

Thanks in advance for your advice.

First I must say how exciting the new platform releases are. So Excited to see so many of the features we have been waiting for in practice!!
However since upgrading, when the portableapps menu starts up I get the following error: "The PortableApps.com Updater must be run from the PortableApps.com Platform. It will not function properly when run directly."

I have checked my ini to see if it was still being invoked from there (Part of my old way of launching the diff apps I need). But the Updater is only being called by the platform - ie i ticked auto update in the options menu.

Attempting to install 4.1 on a fresh USB drive. Norton Internet Security 2012 finds s.ml.app "suspicious" and installation fails. Turning off NIS and installing results in installation but no applications in the menu.

I am running PORTABLE APPS on a very old computer with the following specs

1.87 gigahertz Intel Pentium M
1024 Megabytes RAM
64 kilobyte primary memory cache
2048 kilobyte secondary memory cache

Since I dont have much RAM , and firefox portable is a huge memory hog.So I have to rely on XP to increase my virtual memory.Ive set the virtual memory for my main hard drive to stay between 300-100mb.This is working,but it does get slow after running all day.

Should I increase this?or set XP to automatically manage it?

I've decided to format my flash media on several computers and reinstall the latest PORTABLE APPS pre release 4.1.Im going to be running it from the following:

512 mb Micro SD card
2 GB Micro SD card
1 GB USB flash drive

So what is the most efficient format option for each scenario (since since each is dependant on drive size)

FAT (FAT16)
FAT32
NTFS
exFAT

Also what allocation size should I use for the clusters?

4k,16k,32k, ......512k,1024k, .....ETC,ETC
