Force ASLR breaks portableapps

Submitted by JamesG76 on November 19, 2017 - 12:51am

There was a news article that ASLR is not used correctly in Windows 8 and 10, and to have ASLR you have to Force ASLR for all .exe's. https://it.slashdot.org/story/17/11/17/207239/windows-8-and-later-fail-t... - Forcing ASLR breaks all portableapps apps causing them not to run with error code 7B. The apps work if I download them from their web sites and run without portableapps.

Can't seem to find any information on how to use PortableApps with the Cloud as my app storage.
Not that I ever have much luck finding anything that I need... I guess it's just me.
Thanks in advance for any help on this subject.

Hidden Content Folder

Submitted by elijahcruz12 on October 16, 2017 - 2:45pm

I was having a problem with not being able to install things because my USB was "too full" yet I had used 6 of 16gb. I looked into what was taking up the space using WizTree, and found that there was a hidden folder called "content" taking up all but 12mb of my drive. I ended up deleting it, and I could install stuff, but what is this folder, and what is it meant for?

Hi all,

Thank you for the wonderful site, forum and resources for all these years.

I searched the forum and read many threads about Drive-Letter Variable Settings. So that when a USB memory stick or other device is given a new drive letter on a new computer, the Portableapps.com launcher's apps paths point to it.

I saw various responses from 2008 onwards:

Relative paths
.bat files
Total Commander variables
other methods

Include standalon apps into the platform without reinstalling??

Submitted by Danger Dane on September 18, 2017 - 4:01am

Hi,

I installed some apps as standalone and recently installed the PortableApps platform thinking it would autodetect the installed apps so that I could update etc. But is there a way to include them into the Platform, or is the only way to delete them all and then reinstall from scratch??.

from the platform menu selected to install a new app - "LibreOffice" from the downloaded file.
After long installing time it was finished. Did not do anything with the installed program, wanted to eject the usb
