Is there anything I can do about this ?

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

Hye everybody
I have fought with this error for one hour now :
"Freeplane portable did not close properly last time it was run and will now clean up. Please then start FreePlane Portable again manually."

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?
