PortableApps.com Platform

Hi all,

we need to use portable FF to access our older Bizerba Equipment. (Scales, production lines). According to our central IT portable FF will not work with windows 10. Can we use it with Windows Server 2012? Does anyone has the same issues with windows10?

Kind Regards,

Matthias

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

I have only noticed with Keepass, could be others? Running Keepass 2.34. Platform 16.0. Auto updater says 'all apps up to date' even though Keepass 2.41 is available on site.

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

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

I pinned some apps on the taskbar and it creates new icons just right side of the icon every time I launch it. How do I fix it?
Plus, how to add a picture on this forum?

Every day I'm asked to update Firefox Beta 65.0 Beta 7 even after updating it seems that it doesn't detect the newly installed version.

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.'

I've got portableapps.com installed on my D: drive, and I've noticed that all the new data -e.g. after a program updates- gets written to the back of the disk, effectively spacing things out and making the arms on the drive work harder. It sounds like it's doing more searches, and then the browser page loads will get a bit slower, and I'll remember to defrag. That fixes it by stacking everything closer together.

Is this by design? Can I turn it off? Am I missing something?
