PortableApps.com Platform

Downloaded Portableapps Suite early this week. Everything worked just fine. I left it a couple of days and when I tried again to use Mozilla a security message appeared and I found that I couldn't access sites with SSL encryption. I have restarted, removed excess baggage from my flash drive, re-downloaded PA Suite - to no avail. Any clues?

If I include an 'EULA.txt' in 'Other\Source', when the app is installed (and before first run) I'm getting 'Data\PortableApps.comInstaller\license.ini' which contains

[PortableApps.comInstaller]
EULAVersion=1

Is this the expected behaviour?

Hey,

I run PA from my external hard drive. I'd like to make a complete backup of my PA data with the backup tool, but that will also backup 500gb+ from the entire drive.

Would be nice if I could point to a custom folder and make a complete PA backup that way.

Thank you

PortableAapps.com Platform version: 2.0 beta 1
As I had started the PortableApps.com Platform, the Microsoft Security Essentials froze the application and alerted me of a severe trojan. I don't know why but I didn't expect the PortableApps Platform could be performing trojan style commands and be a serious issue?

I hope someone here could help! I have copied and pasted the details of the trojan: PWS:Win32/Ldpinch.gen

Hi.

Would it be possible, in a future release of PortableApps.com platform, to add an option into the PortableAppsMenu.ini file to specify where the "Music" etc links in the menu should point?

Because, I don't like having "Music" and "Videos" inside my "Documents" folder. I'd rather have them side by side in the root of the drive - similar to how Windows Vista and 7 do it. So it would be really useful for me if I could specify the paths to these folders.

Cheers,
Robin.

I have been installing non portable apps to be operated on flash drives for over a year. so using what i already know,i installed video games,browsers,and even citrix wire! So after i installed them,the platform automatically places icons for the new apps installed into the platform memory. From the platform,you can access and operate them like you can with the other apps. No need to creat custom short cuts or anything because the platform does it for you. How does one go about installing alternate apps?

Just installed. Great idea. However, I cannot remove the memory stick. It's constantly in use even after all portable applications are closed. The process portappl remains active (in task manager). When I finally killed the process and tried to close the stick, OS crashed. Any suggestions on removing the USB? Thanks.

Or at least, I think it does...

Whenever I put in my flash drive, it changes to my portable wallpaper, and whenever I go back, it's stuck on the wallpaper it was on when the PortableApps.com platform took over.

It's the only solution I can think of. That, or Windows 7 forgets you have a slideshow set up and randomly stops on one. But then I go into the settings, and it doesn't say I have a slideshow set, just that I have the one it's on.

YuS - following this:

The PortableApps.com Menu can automatically add apps in PortableApps.com Format. Just download the the PortableApps.com Installer (ending in .paf.exe) for the app you'd like to add (like FileZilla Portable, for instance). Then, in PortableApps.com Menu, click Options - Add a New App - Install and then select the FileZilla Portable .paf.exe file you just downloaded. The PortableApps.com Menu will automatically install it to the proper location for you.

Works.

Hi there I installed a program, which listed itself 5 different times, so i was trying to find the correct one, and deleted the rest off the list by renaming them to "-" but i deleted the wrong one by mistake, so I was wondering how to add it back to the menu???

Anyone know how to do this? I would greatly appreciate the help.

Thanks
