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??.

After Installation problems

Hello,
Downloaded and Installed the "Portable apps Platform" 14.4.1 on a memory usb stick.
After installation finished, I did not select any program to install, Downloaded the "LibreOffice 5.4.1 Multi",
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

[Closed] copy shows different apps and categories to original

I have set up my portable apps platform one one PC. When I copy the whole portable apps directory to another PC the categories are not the same and some apps are not registered.
For example I have a "stability" category on PC1 which is not shown when I run portable apps platform on PC2.
Also I have "FixWin" at C:/portable apps/portable apps/Fixwin/fixwin.exe on pc1 which IS registered on the platform;
When I copy the top level poratble apps directory to D:/downloads on PC2
I have "FixWin" at D:/downloads/portable apps/portable apps/Fixwin/fixwin.exe

"Apps still running" when they are not.

I installed the Portableapps.com platform on a Windows 10 desktop. When I exit the platform, I am getting a "The following portable apps are still running" error message. But, these apps are already closed, and I don't see them in Windows 10's taskbar and the system tray. When I open the Windows 10's Task manager, I see that the apps are in the "Background processes", and I have to kill them there before I can close Portableapps.com platform.

What's going on and how can I fix that? Thanks.

PortableApps.com Launcher no longer needs a variant of NSIS Portable

https://portableapps.com/manuals/PortableApps.comLauncher/intro/quicksta... claims that "To use the PortableApps.com Launcher, you will need to download and install NSIS Portable (the Unicode variant)".
But NSIS Portable no longer has variants. There's only one program now.
So please remove that claim (in the offline version too).

Also see about whether it needs NSIS Portable at all.

Portables apps download_hold in temp_to later install

I was updating my portable apps from many years of nonservice by me.
I was out of storage and transferred to a new thumb drive, and had to down load again.
I then lost the internet, had to down load again, and wait for install.

Could this be a lot like Microsoft where it downloaded then waited for the install by the user with notices?

Thank You
Mr.D
