The program does not fully save the state? Or launcher changes settings.

For the study, I am trying to make the program Process Monitor portable. (For information, its installation cannot be downloaded from the PA site, there is an error.)
I save the registry settings. My lancher:
[Launch]
ProgramExecutable=ProcessMonitor\Procmon.exe

[Activate]
Registry=true

[RegistryKeys]
ProcessMonitor_portable=HKCU\Software\Sysinternals\Process Monitor

Supporting Command line parameters with special characters

Submitted by PortableAbs on January 22, 2019 - 3:05pm

Hi,

I have a little problem passing command line parameters with special characters to the PortableApp launcher.

More specific, I would like to open a search URL in Chrome or Firefox and pass a certain search term. It works if I pass the arguments to the applications directly, but when I pass them to the GoogleChromePortable.exe then the special characters will be replaced with question marks.

Example:
chrome.exe https://www.google.com/search?q=Привет
works

Unable to connect to PortableApps.com to retrieve portable apps

Submitted by kjisi on January 21, 2019 - 4:21pm

Hi there,
since a few weeks I cannot use the platform Help/Check for Updates anymore.
Even if I reinstall everything from scratch I can download portable apps, but the update function still doesn't work.

Is there a log file which knows a bit more about what fails and where?

I have Windows 10, a DSL connection without any proxy, in internet connection settings every proxy option is unchecked.

How can I proceed to fix this?
Thanks, Klaus

Launcher & installer not playing nice with Windows 7

Submitted by BungieCord on January 9, 2019 - 7:11pm

I'm having a problem with Portable Apps Launcher on a relatively new 64-bit Win7 install that I think is the fault of the host OS. I didn't note the launcher version I was using but I know I had updated it within the last two months.

I ordinarily start it from a batch file that does some housekeeping before starting the launcher (offers to update the ClamWin definitions, etc), but the batch file kept erroring-out with 'PortableAppsPlatform.exe is not a valid PortableApps.com release and can not be launched.'
