PortableApps.com Platform

Hello, I've been using PA for 2 years now but I recently started to experience a change in the name of the drive which, - specially for XAMMP - causes me trouble to start Apache since the drive it's inserted in is not being read correctly; for example, if I installed and used the G: drive and insert it on another PC on the drive, the PA is read as G: (on screen and in the Win Explorer) any ideas ?

Thanks in advace

good day every body;

i'm new to Portable Appz, i know about it by chance while i found one application i always use in a portable mode, actually it was "ADOBE Light room 2" but the trial version, now how can i use the "portable appz platform" to build up my portable software.

i will appreciate it to guide me to some documentation and so on.
thanks

The portableapps menu picks up all the exe files from my applications folders and lists them on the menu. However, I have some folders containing several exe files and I don't want all of them listed. So a particular folder may have files:
main.exe, helper1.exe, helper2.exe
where main is the name of my application and helper1 ... are subsidiary exe files which need to be retained in the folder but I don't want them listed on the menu. How do I remove some (eg helper1.exe, helper2.exe) from the menu while retaining the corresponding exe files in my folders?

most of the time when i want to safely eject my flash drive after using portableapps.com platform for some time, i get a error message telling me "there is a problem ejecting usb mass storage device", that "windows can't stop my generic device because a program is still using it", now i shut down everything i was using. and even looked in the task manager to try and see what might be using it but i still have no idea....

I would like to add SharpDevelop to my portableapps menu but it doesn't seem to allow me to add it since the folder structure is like this:
SharpDevelop
-bin
--program.exe
I.e. the executable is a subfolder of the program folder.
I cannot change this since it requires this file structure.
Any help?

I don't know if this has been talked about before because I dont really know how to search for it. But anyways when I plug my usb drive into my Win2k box and run portableapps.exe it says "loading" in the system tray for about a second or two and opens the menu. Now on other windows xp and vista boxen I open portableapps.exe and its says "loading" for about 2-3 minutes before it opens the menu? Is there anyway to get it to open like it does in windows 2000?

Thanks,

I added the section [Localization] and then an entry DisableAppLanguageSwitching=true to disable to the .ini as directed but the language switching menu is still there and functional. Any suggestions?

I searched for this, but I didn't find anything resembling it...
Pardon my ignorance if this is sheer fantasy.

In Windows, the Desktop is a special folder in the profile folder of the logged-on user.
In a standard windows install, it is quite easy to redirect the folder in regedit in
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders - Desktop.

I have loaded the application at least 3 times and then when I remove the drive and then put it back in and click to start the application I am getting the following message:

could not find
j:\portableapps\porableapps.com\portableappsplatforms.exe

Hello

In comparison to virtual registry layers like U3, Ceedo, and PowerToGo; is PortableApps suite actually a software that needs to be installed at the USB Flash prior to installing portabel applications?

Or is is simply a matter of installing any of the portable versions of the applications referenced on site?

And would the data files of portable apps retain their format, so they could be copied back to a HD and be used for an actual HD-installed application if needed?

Thanks.
