updating an app that isn't installed

Submitted by choicevoice on August 4, 2018 - 12:10am

i used to have jportable installed. i uninstalled it a long time ago. yet, occasionally, when i update my apps, it appears and updates. something must have gone wrong with the uninstaller. i have tried reinstalling and uninstalling.

perhaps related, but not a big deal to me (i mention it b/c it might be related), when i launch portableapps platform, all my shortcuts on my desktop disappears. when i close it again, they reappear. weird.

i installed the platform in the C:/ and am using windows 10.

PortableApps Platform - Categorize / Hide Apps in Bulk Suggestion

Submitted by Zalex on July 3, 2018 - 2:13pm

Hi,

I would like to ask for some way to reorder in Categories and Hide Apps in Bulk.

I have many apps from other sources inside PortableApps folder as well, and most of them contains other .exe files. Since there are a lot of them, and after some research without result, I would like to ask to Build some tool to edit all those files in bulk.

A tool inside the Platform or to be downloaded for those in this situation.

Platform no longer updates apps

Unfortunately the Portableapps platform no longer updates apps. If I open the platform, click apps then check for updates, nothing happens.

I've tried reinstalling the platform and also downloading and installing the platform to a new location. however it appears the settings for the portable apps platform are ironically not portable, and the new download of the platform in a new location carries over the same settings. So if the problem is corruption then I have no way to delete the old settings or use a new instance without settings.

Updater requires to click through all installers

Submitted by yokj on June 24, 2018 - 8:22am

I have two machines with similar PA.c installs. When I periodically run "Update all apps", on one machine all apps are updated and all I have to do is click "Finish." On the other, I have to click through the installers of all the apps . The set of apps updating usually the same.

What would make the second install require all that clicking?

thanks in advance.

I have not used portable apps for many months. Today I upgraded the platform as well as 26 programs. All of this worked on my Win 10 machine the last time I utilized it. Now, each and every program fails to start and produces the following error message:

This application was unable to start correctly (0Xc000007b) Click OK to close the application.

The name off each individual program that I am trying to start is also at the top of the dialog.

Outdated Firefox icons in app store and second profile

I've noticed that all the Firefox icons in the installer pop-up menu are outdated ones, and that the 2nd profile for Mozilla Firefox's icons also do not match the current Quantum icons. I am thinking that this is because of older versions, but most of all the Beta and Developer edition icons are bugging me.
