PortableApps.com Platform

Environment:
OS: Windows XP SP2
USB Drive: Sandisk Cruzer Micro 1.0GB
Portable Apps Suite Lite 1.0 w/ Menu MOD R30
NetMeeting 3.01

Issue:
Receive a PortableApps Menu Access Violation error when launching NetMeeting
Example: http://img329.imageshack.us/my.php?image=portableappserroryz3.png

Workaround:
Exit and restart PortableApps Menu

Other Notes:

Is there any progress on functionality to enable applications to be automatically loaded when Portable Apps is started.

I typically start 3 or 4 programs every time I load PortableApps, and it would be good if that could be automated.

Hi
Sorry, it sounds like a real dump question: Is there a smart way to keep my PortableApps up to date, e.g. an automatic update mechanism?

Is been quite some time since the Portable Apps platform has been updated. The latest I still see is the 1.1 Beta 4 Aren't you guys that are busting your butts making new portable applications worry that ones Portable Apps 2.0 comes out it won't be compatible? I would like to learn of the status of the next release. But where would I find news of it? Anyone knows anything about this?

Could somebody teach me how to change my PA tray icon?

It is so easy to use U3P files on your Portable apps usb.

I figured it out myself and I am only 16.

First open your .U3P file with (Rar) - There you will noramly see 3 or 4 folders
Extract them with rar and you will now have a folder made with the uncompressed folders, in that 1 folder.

Now open the folders one by one and look for the exe file of the app and move it outside the folder so you have Appfolder---Folder,Folder,App.exe. and put this Appfolder in (portable apps) in your usb.

Then Refresh your apps icons in Options then the app should appear in the list.

Hi,

I love Portable Apps, but I don't like how everything is named on the menu!

(I think they are automatically being named from "Product Name" in the "Other Version Information" section in properties, but I can't change this.)

Is there any way the shortcut on the menu itself can be renamed?

E.G can I somehow change Firefox Portable so that it just says Firefox, etc.?

How do I uninstall the suite from my flash drive?

Hi,

I have a remote hard drive I access via https (WebDAV). I would like to install portable apps on my remote hard drive. However, when I run the installer, although I'm able to select the drive from the browse window, the Install button is never highlighted (clickable).

Also, I'd map the drive to a letter (as a work-around) but XP doesn't support this, especially when using SSL.

Any thoughts or ideas?

Thanks in advance.

I use PA Suite for 1.5 years already. But only today I noticed the ejection button on the main page and /suite screenshots. I read carefully through the forum and all FAQs , but still couldn't figure out the reason why I don't see that button with any of my pen drives. Please give some kind of explanation ))))))))
