PortableApps.com Platform

I couldn't figure out why the platform coudln't update itself so I went to manually download the update. Seems the site is being blocked by our security - claiming a threat. Anyone else getting this? It is calling out download3.portableapps.com -- "blocked based on Cisco Security threat research" ... if you are not aware Cisco bought opendns.org. Not sure if this is some kind of false positive or not. Hoping it is, trying to reach out to our security guys for more info.

This is new, not sure if it's a bandwidth thing, but on a 100 MBit connection I'm getting update speeds of 43.5kb/sec on app updates.

I don't know if it's because I'm in UK or what, but as user of portable apps for the last 10+ years it seems a little odd. Has something changed?

When you start the update process, then you haven't any chance to close the platform by the normal way (like click X from the platform).
Because the updater will delete all the file first, and the platform can't load the graphics.
And when you click abort, then you can't run the updater to fix it anymore, you have to download the installer pack again.

THIS IS A VERY OLD BUG!

I have updated Portable Apps program itself on many occasions. This mornint when I tried to update, I got an error:

Error opening file for writing:
E:\Portable Apps\PortableApps\ortableApps.com\PortableAppsPlatform.exe

This was after it deleted a number of files on its way to updating. I pressed Abort and then I could not run PortableApps at all. It failed with an error:
Cannot open file 'E:\Portable Apps\PortableApps\PortableApps.com\App\Graphics\Chrome\matte.png'. The system cannot find the path specified.

Access violation at address 00566CE4 in module 'PortableAppsPlatform.exe'. Read of address 000001D0.

Would it be possible to add an option in the platform to allow it to re-read the system's environment variables and pass them to an app upon launch ? We use the PortableApps platform where the environment variables do change a lot and it is counterproductive to have to stop/start the platform every time the environment gets modified.

download error
reget error on file ......... chrome installer.exe

no way to post screen shot???

Hi everyone:
Can't seem to find my answer, so hopefully it's possible. I want to install ALL the apps to my usb drive but it keeps asking me to confirm installation for every single app, I don't have the time to baby sit the program and click on 'agree' each time (I finally gave up after an hour of this, and only 10% of the programs are installed) Is there unattended option to get them all into my usb?
Any help is appreciated, thanks !

Tesco, Microsoft Dashlane and others all forget my username and password in FIREFOX, it doesn't happen normally win 7 is on C drv, but DROPBOX is on H were my portable app is, i don't see why it should be? any suggestions

Hello,
I was wondering whether there is a way of installing the Portableapps platform temporarily on my work computer, from the cloud, in a way which would offer privacy akin to that offered by using a usb-stick?
I do not want to download the Portableapps from the cloud onto my work computer, because it is not private. I only wish to use the apps on a temporary basis, and to be able to leave no trace after I finish.
With an usb-stick, you just plug it in and take it out when you finish, nothing is left on the computer.
