PortableApps.com Platform

when running PortableApps updater it fails with InvalidZipFilePossibleNoConnectionOrFirewall error.
Eager understanding to what URL/DNS/Hostname and port/protocol the updater function is connecting.
Looking forward to response

Hello! and happy end of the year!

I am experimenting with the simultaneous installation of different PortableApps environments.

In general it works as I want except for a few hiccups.The most annoying drawback is not having different icons in the taskbar for each PortableApps environment. Even if they were just variations of the official icon (e.g.; different colors).

Does anyone know how to modify the icon of a PortableApps environment?

Hello.

I downloaded the above some months ago but do not have any have for it and would now like to delete it. Could you tell me how. Janusz Kaminski

Hi everyone, I'd like to consult with you over something troubling i encountered..

After downloading all software through the platform, the PortableApps.com folder contains over 400,000 files.
When i connect my pendrive (containing PortableApps) to smaller devices, such as smartphones, they get overwhelmed having to scan the entire pendrive and then read it as corrupt (some sort of "Time-out" issue).

Like many before me, the platform updater is having trouble downloading apps - and has for several weeks. I have looked through every existing forum post I could find but haven't found a resolution. Unlike many of the 2018 posts, however, I'm on an up-to-date Win10 machine.

The error is:
"Unable to download the file. This could be due to a proxy or network issue or the hosting server not permitting downloads from your location."
which I get for 7Zip, DVDStylerPortable, FileZilla, Firefox, Gimp, Notepad++, Opera, PDFTKBuilder, PicPick, WinMerge, & Workrave.

What would cause some apps not to be available on some machines? Specifically:
..Win 10 machine: Apps > Get More Apps; Irfanview not found, XNView found and installed
..different Win 10 machine: Apps > Get More Apps; XNView not found; Irfanview found and installed

(Love them both. Irfanview is superior for picture adjustments/tweaks and interface with printers. XNView has the better sorting table thumbnails display.)

Thank you - shu

After installing the platform, one gets asked 3 questions:

1. Run PortableApps.com Platform
2. Create shortcut
3. Automatically start the platform with Windows

Obviously the first question shouldn't be asked again, but what about the other two?
I've tried finding them in Options=>Advanced to no avail.

Here's how it's suggested to import already existing installations into the program:

You can also run the installers directly. As long as you have your portable apps installed to the standard location, they will automatically find your PortableApps.com drive, install and tell the menu to refresh.
- Adding PortableApps.com Format Apps to the PortableApps.com Menu

The PA.c Platform's updater is unable to update K-Meleon Portable. It may be due to a bug/limitation in the VersionCompare function in NSIS and its ability to handle large dotted 4 versions like 76.45.2021.1204. I'll be investigating the issue and including a fix in the next platform one way or another. As a workaround for now, please download a K-Meleon Portable manually and install it via the Platform's manual paf.exe install to upgrade it.
