PortableApps.com Platform

Hello,

There is no mention about the usage of the PA to bundle commercial application. Can anyone help me on this. I have a JAVA based software which I need to bundle with other applications in PA and sell. Is this permitted. If no what needs to be done.

Regards,
Excel.

I am a bit confused. If I want to use this in the installer is it already there or do I hav to call it from the installer? Also if the file sin the directory I wish to move them to already exist does it crash? I do not want to overwrite current file rather merge/update the files in the directory into a different possibly already created directory before the install of an update takes place.

I hope this makes sense?

I'm one of the users of Portable Apps who rely on screen reader programs to read/navigate the screen content because of my visual-impairment. I use NVDA, an open source (available from www.nvda-project.org), and JAWS, a commercially sold (available from www.freedomscientific.com), screen reader apps. The PortableApps menu/interface cannot be read by these screen readers (i.e. they are inaccessible).

No disrespect, really. Version 1.6 is just not working out for me. I was much happier before I upgraded. Is the previous version of PAM (1.5x) still available?

First, thanks for the useful apps! Second, any chance that we can get "nested menus" for the PortableApps menu system? Last, it would be really nice is some kind of auto-updating functionality could be added in.

I created a 'complete'(all files on your portable drive) back up from an old flash drive. I have downloaded and installed the new platform to my desktop. I run 'restore from back up' on the new platform by selecting the 7z archive....wait for several minutes for the process to complete, click on finish. Go to new platform and nothing seems to be restored, the left hand pane is empty, no Firefox, etc ,etc ?
I'm using the platform only installation - Although I have been using PortableApps for years I have never tried to do this before, obviously I'm doing something wrong?

What the subject says.

i can't figure out how to instill SofType and i don't know how to Un PACK it i know how to Un ZIP it ------- there is only one file not how many ever there are supposed to be

Hey, is there any way to have PAP open automatically when the USB is inserted? I know that Windows XP asked if you wanted to open up the program, but my Windows 7 Pro has no such option, its reading my USB as a music device instead. Can I fix this maybe by changing something in one of the .ini files?

I have a number of machines under my bench, but (for reasons of space) normally only one screen, keyboard, and mouse on the main system ... then I VNC into the machine I want to maintain.

I needed to run a tool from my trusty PortableApps USB stick, so I plugged the stick into the machine of interest, then VNC'ed into it.

Click on the icon in the task bar - it didnt "pop-up"! Consistently!

Plug a "real" screen into that machine and click on the icon via VNC and it is visible on the real screen but not on the VNC session.
