PortableApps.com Platform

PortableApps.com Menu, Backup and Platform/Suite installer.

Several questions....

Submitted by Sheffey on April 2, 2008 - 4:31pm

I have spent some time searching and looking through the forums but haven't been able to find the answers to these questions. Hopefully I'm not breaking any rules by posting here.

1. Is it possible to put a file shortcut on the opening menu of portable apps?
2. Is it legal to put portableapps.com on USB drives that I will be selling? Are there any limitations? The reason I am selling the USB flash drives is that I am marketing the drives with a file I built on them.

Sandisk U3 Smart Drive

Submitted by yostore on April 2, 2008 - 10:31am

Hi,

I have a Sandisk U3 Smart Drive with U3 Software Central installed.

Is possible to use PortableApps and U3 Software Central at the same USB flash drive? Is there any problem with that?

Can I put PortableApps Applications running on U3 Software Central or U3 Software running in PortableApps Suite?

Thanks
yostore

Before there was suite there was PStart...

I remember when this site started it didn't have a suit, but used PStart as the menu launcher.
It was nice, but the portableapps suite looked much better when it appeared.
Few days ago when my antivirus detected a trojan in the suite, probably a false alarm as i see now, i freaked out and installed the new PStart again.

kaspersky detects trojan when trying to use "backup"

Submitted by benma on March 31, 2008 - 1:52am

Hello.
For some reason Kaspersky AV, alerts me of: trojan.win32.agent.ixj
when i try using the "backup" feature. it's some file in folder that is being created in the user's temp directory in windows, when trying to use "backup" feature of suite.
Didn't have that problem before. Maybe this trojan was added to database of Kaspersky only lately. Nevertheless it's a trojan. Tried it with Suit Standard, light, and beta -same problem.
Anyone has a solution?
I mean, if it's a false detection, why does it pop up only on backup?

How to make a JAR file execute from the PAM

Submitted by netgk5815 on March 27, 2008 - 8:12pm

I have found a neet JAR file app I would like to run from my PortableApps menu instead of navigating to it and "double-clicking".

How would I go about getting an icon on the menu to run the JAR file? (I have chec ked the support page for PortableApps and it only mentions apps that have EXE files.)

(I hope this is the right place to post this. IMHO it is relevant to the PortableApps platform.)
