PortableApps.com Platform

Just thought I'd ask.

Hi,
I have migrated almost fully to using portable apps for most of my software, and I use it in my PC.

I wanted to write a backup script to generate automated periodic backup of the data. Is there any way to use the portable apps platform's backup from the commandline?

-------

I will also be happy with a 7zip script, and I almost got one -
7z.exe a -ms=off -mtc=on -up0q0z1 -r PortableAppsData "D:\Programs\PortableApps\*\*\Data"

Problem is that it also backs up any other data folder that might be present with an application (eg. with Inkscape).

Hi there,

I posted this here earlier:

wanting to know why I could not see my apps (was most confused) so now I'm wondering if there can be an option in the installers to use a defined location in the app directory, providing of course the menu is open.

I believe this would make it very easy to use particularly for non computer-savvy people such as myself.

Cheers

What is the official release date for the PortableApps.com Platform 2.0?

Hoping someone can help me out with this as it is a real pain.

Been using standalone portable apps for years, however thought i would try the new platform updater. What a nightmare !!!

It has renamed my USB SSD to "PortableApps.com" and I can't change it back. I have deleted the files for the platform updater and restored a backup to the drive but I still cannot get back to normal.

The drive label is unchanged ( checked via Drive Properties ) so it must have changed something on my system Registry or installed a hidden program maybe.

The Easter Weekend has been and gone. I think I read that the release of 2.0 was being deferred until after the Easter Weekend in order to maintain a better release profile.

Just wondered what lead time we should now expect?

No hassle, just trying to stave of my disappointment.

Thanks.

My install keeps failing when it tries to extract PNotesPortable.jpg. When it fails, the Install Wizard freezes and all I can do is Cancel. Then, the flash drive is unreadable. I have to eject the drive and then reinsert it for everything to look right again. I've downloaded the exe file twice and both times the same thing happened.

I'm trying to install the Standard Suite, Version 1.6.1 on a 16GB Sandisk Cruzer plugged in to a PC using Windows XP-Pro Version 2002 SP3.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Hi, Not sure if I am asking in the right forum place, but hopefully someone can help me, please. I have a Palm Tungsten C which has wi-fi. I have available a 1gb SD card to load the apps onto.
I am not too swift with computer things that aren't really straight forward. In fact I am still recovering from a combat type brain injury and have to work pretty hard to make much of anything work right for me.

I downloaded the suite onto my computer desktop. It opens up there OK. How and what do I do to sync all this to my PDA?
