PortableApps.com Platform

hello everybody,

each time I do start a portable app, I do get te MS dialog to trust the vendor/developer of this program.

I tried to install the certificate attached to the apps, using the default MS certificate store. This as such did work, but when starting the next app, I do get the same question again...

What did I miss?

best regards

Hallo zusammen,

jedesmal, wenn ich eine Portable App starte, bekomme ich den Windows-Dialog "Datei öffnen - Sicherheitswarung" zur Bestätigung.

Hello:
Is it possible to change the platform icons/shortcuts? to include commandline switches for individual portable applications? For example I would like to be able to by default start Notepad++Portable.exe with the -multiInst switch.

I was expecting to be able to adjust the shortcuts in the Portable Apps menu via right-click but the only option is to rename the shortcut.

Am I missing something?

Thank you,

I am trying to install PA version 1.5.2 on a Windows XP-pro system and get the following error for all flavors of the installation (platform only, light and standard): "Windows cannot access the specified device,path or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item". The installation fails immediately after launching the exe file.

There is no prior thread discussing this problem, so I am stumped why it is uniquely occurring for me. The user account I am using has admin privileges. I have successfully install lot of sourceforge apps using the same account.

How hard would it be to figure out what the Microsoft Autoplay Repair Tool does and have the Platform do the same?

The disk checker in 2.0 beta 3 is good, but I'm thinking in the future, the Platform should have a set of utilities that will help and assist the common denominator among Platform users. The disk check, as well as backup, restore, and the forthcoming updater could just be a start.

I have amassed a huge collection of portable apps. Currently I have them on my D partition so I can sort through them before deciding which ones to place on the usb stick. At the end of the day I will still have too many portable apps on the usb stick and will have to scroll around looking for the app I need. Wouldn't it be better to use CATEGORIES for example System_Tools, Browsers, Download_Rip_Burn_Tools, Cleaners_Optimisers, Multimedia_apps, and so forth?

Hi everybody.
Because I'm fond of a lots of applications that I want to keep with me, I have a long list of applications in PortableApps.com. I would like to organize a bit these applications by theme, like Security, System, Games, Multimedia, Office...
Is it already possible (meaning that I would not have seen this option), planned or is it an idea that can be considered?
Thank you.

Hi All,

I just got a computer that is running Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit edition.

My Problem:

When I start the computer with my Portable Apps suite thumb drive plugged in, Windows stops loading the operating system while still in the stage where the screen is black and an error message comes up saying, "missing operating system." I have to pull the thumb drive and hit the computer's reset button to start windows.

I use shared computers OFTEN. I need a mod! I dont have the skillz so I call apon you!
I need a windows start menu overlay. The round arrow graphic over part of or all the "Start" menu that launches PortableApps.com Platform. The systray isnt working out, some of the PCs i use even have systrey access disabled. I need the auto run to go and then run my tools from there. Might I suggest this be added into the Options.

I look forward to everyone's replies!

Thank you.

I chose the option to Backup> Backup Files. I clicked Next>. Folder: My Documents. Click Backup and wait. After a while I see:

Backup Failed
The backup process failed to complete. Please check your configuration.

Version: 1.5.2
