Can't install Platform 15.0 Beta 3

Submitted by nttuzydupcpm on March 1, 2018 - 8:16pm

My anti-virus (Spectrum Security Suite, F-Secure) won't let me install the beta. It claims to give me the opportunity to override the block, but then that fails--still won't let me install.

This is my personal laptop--I should be able to install this, but I don't know how.

FWIW, I already have 15.0 Beta 2 installed. I might have just copied from a flash drive.

Apps with advanced options

Submitted by clorophilla on March 1, 2018 - 11:32am

Is there any way to run a program with arguments from the client?

Right now the only "documented" way of doing so is modifying the appinfo file to open a batch file (*.BAT), which in turn runs the program i want with the arguments (e.g. Steam "Portable")

If there's no way, could the developers watching this forum add this funcionality? Some apps require admin rights without those arguments, making impossible to run everywhere.

Include WIndows Shortcuts (*.lnk) into scan for executables ...

Hi,

I use a Python based portable "audio" player named quodlibet.

After downloading and extracting its archive, I found the two windows shortcuts to start the player and to start the ID tag editor.

The portableapps menu does not show the player, nor its executables, which are one of the sub menus.

Is there a chance to include windows shortcuts, pointing to executables, or the executables, they point to, into the portableapps menu, into the app list?

Best regards,

Martin

scriptable install

Submitted by norweeg on February 18, 2018 - 5:53pm

I'm looking to automate the process of setting up the platform on USB devices for lower-income students who don't have access to their own PC and I was wondering if there is a way to script the platform setup to run silently and install several portable apps automatically without user intervention. I've been googling and googling but I am not finding anything. I can't even find the NSIS source code for the platform setup. Please help! I just want to automate the creation of a bunch of devices for these students

PortableApps Platform - Silent install options with pre-defined apps

Submitted by David-C on February 13, 2018 - 4:13am

Hi,

If this is already documented apologies but I've searched and cannot find.

I'd like to be able to silent install the platform selecting the location and apps to install.

e.g.

PortableApps.com_Platform_Setup_14.4.3.paf.exe /silent /location D:\PortableApps /apps applist.txt

appslist.txt could just be a list of apps :

Google Chrome
7-Zip
KeePass Password Safe
Putty
WinMerge
etc...

Many thanks
