PortableApps.com Platform

Hello,
Made some experiment with “LibreOffice portable”. I did not install it (on the hard disk), just unzipped it
into a folder, sent one shortcut to the desktop, and so far it works nicely.
Am I missing something if I had installed it as any other program ?
Answers will be appreciated.
Thanks

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??.

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

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

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.

The former has "Proven NSIS installer core" and the latter has "Proven NSIS core bundled inside".
Does it mean it's no longer necessary to also download NSIS and put it in a folder next to them?

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.

I installed Portableapps.com Platform onto a USB flash drive, and I can use the programs in the platform. But, I keep getting the External Exception C0000006. error message. How can I fix that? Thanks.

Can I use all of the apps that are in the Portable.com Platform outside of the platform? I assume that doing so will disable automatic update. What are the other drawbacks?

Thanks,

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
