[Fixed] .Net error when launching any app on un-updated Windows 7 and 8.0
Hi,
Due to the dependency of .NET, as of version 21, I can not start any apps on my Windows 8 system.

Hi,
Due to the dependency of .NET, as of version 21, I can not start any apps on my Windows 8 system.
it seems like installer used by PortableApps Platform is different from installers used by other portable apps the platform gives options like "new install", "upgrade", "selecting cloud folders"
i am interested in the cloud folders part, how are these detected (i know they are searched in standard paths but where are these paths)
so where is the source code of this, i checked many but cant find the mention of detecting cloud folders
Can't update apps via the Platform.
Have this error about a week now.
https://portableapps.com/node/54086 this thread is not helpful
Dutifully went to the downloads page, but there is no direct link for what this application is looking for.
Little help on precisely which package to download and install would be appreciated, as the application won't start otherwise.
Thank you.
The PortableApps.comRoot and PortableApps.comApps environment variables don't seem to have the correct values
PortableApps.comApps=strPortableAppsPath
PortableApps.comRoot=strPortableAppsRootPath
I'm not sure "Attach" is the correct way to describe this but...
Description: I'm running a Samba server on a DDWRT router. I'm not running anything unusual (that I'm aware of). I've installed other apps to the network share to confirm proper read-write behavior and functionality. The apps and games I've installed all seem to function correctly. Albeit there was a weird error when I installed JDownloader where I was told it could not create RIGHTS (which I assume is a folder permissions change based on the dialog).

The PortableApps.com Platform appears to be using HTTP (instead of HTTPS) for many of its connections.
Could the PortableApps.com Platform be upgraded to only use HTTPS?
Even with checksums, using HTTP creates many risks that can be mitigated with HTTPS.
HTTPS certificates are currently free of cost.
