PortableApps.com Platform

I downloaded the latest verison of PortableApps Platform, but I can't install it because the installer won't ask me where to install it to. After selecting a language, it goes straight to the terms and after that, ATTEMPTS to install. Please help!

All,

I have been using Portable Apps (PA) for many years now and found an interesting difference between using it @ work and on my home networks.

Can anyone suggest a good (by which I mean "actually works"), portable backup program, ideally one with some support attached. If it's good, I don't mind paying for it. I've tried the PA platform backup; when it repeatedly failed to complete and I posted a request for some help, I was advised not to use it (?). I've tried Toucan, which also fails, and for which I can't seem to get any answers as to how to debug and correct.

Hello,
I get this error when i close the Portableapp.com Platform about miising windows component. This happens when i try to play youtube video from firefox portable (that doesn't have flash plugin on plugins folder). I also don't have flash installed on my computer. I have UAC disabled.
Tried with clean install of Portableapps.com Platform. Copied the folders of the different portable apps to the new installation folder, but the error still occurs.
The error looks like this

I've just noted the following error - after upgrading PAI from 3.4.1 to 3.4.2, the installer's launcher displays 3.4.1 rather than 3.4.2 for some reason. This is not the case when installing 3.4.2 directly.

Does anyone else see this behaviour?

See here for what I mean: http://imgur.com/a/S0WzB - The tooltip disappeared under my pointer, PAI displays in the menu as 3.4.2, which lines up with what appinfo.ini shows.

Since updating to version 14.2 the theme which I have changed PortableApps to is not saving. I move between two different computers frequently throughout the day, my personalization settings are not traversing the two computers or saving between moves. PortableApps keeps starting the the default grey theme no matter which machine it is starting on.

It is also continuously bringing up the 14.2 update notes and donation request each time PA starts.

Any ideas?

Hi all,

I'm looking to use PortableApps to allow my end users to be able to run fonts without the need to keep coming to me asking me to install them. I know PA can do this and I'm keen to deploy but I don't want the users to be able to download and run apps, bit of a conundrum I know considering it is what PA does!

So my question is:

Am I missing an option to disable App installation or is that well beyond the scope? Alternatively I have deliberately made the connection settings wrong so it can't connect but of course this throws an error message.

I checked for Portable Apps updates today. The updater reported that there was an update for PortableApps Platform 14.2 and it's 4MB in size.

Fine. Update it. I have never had problems with this Portable App in the past.

The updater downloads and then automatically starts the installation process.

It is just a matter of seconds and then I get this error:

Window Title: NSIS Error
Window Text: (X) Error launching installer

Hello,

i am thinking of an command Line Switch for Start.exe to Update PortableApps Apps in the background.

The idea behind:
Bring PortableApps in Autostart and let all APPS beeing updated automatically.

The situation now:
Every time i start PortableApps it's asking me for updates. This can be avoided...

kindly regards
Wolfgang

Is it possible to run the portable applications from the OneDrive online in a browser?
