PortableApps.com Platform

I was wondering if it is possible for an organisation to create a custom installer / updater which instead of getting the list of applications and updates from your site, it uses its own server to distribute the installation packages.

Reason for asking is that in big organisations what staff can install is often restricted and controlled. And even once an application has been approved for installation, keeping it up to date is a nightmare as each application has its own way of doing this.

I searched this and found many old threads on it, but no actual answers. One even said it was planned as an upcoming feature to be able to change it, that was from 6 years ago. I'm not seeing any setting for it in the platform.

Am I missing something? Is it possible to move the location of the Documents folder to inside the portableapps folder so that it's not cluttering up the root?

Hello,
I use PortableApps for a while now and my PortableAppsMenu.ini is quite long (>2000 shortcuts).
I add "personnal" portable apps (i.e. without the "portableApps" format) just have them in the PortableApps menu and to synchronize all in a personal cloud.

The thing is : PortableAppsMenu.ini contains a lot of obsoletes links, and PortableAppsMenu takes a long time to start.

Is there a way to clean up the shortcuts in PortableAppsMenu.ini ?

Thank you in advance.

Hello,
I have a few apps that I use in the portableapps platform so that I have a common launcher for the apps. Because these apps were not installed via portableapps platform and they my own apps, I have stored it all under a folder.

After doing that I am no longer able to find the launchers on portableapp list neither it returns any search results.

When attempting to uninstall GnuCash Portable the subject message is displayed in a dialogue box. The reason for uninstalling Gnucash is that it won't start. Gnucash would start before it was updated earlier this month (12/2016).

Hi,
I have had no problems by updating portable apps before but now there are errors all the time! The errors like that: Redirection (302). What is it?

Hello!

Could you please make application lists for server and client in this way:
1) Server have a list of application with all needed information about them
2) Client have it's own list of application from last synchronization with server
3) Client have his unique list of installed applications
4) Client loads newer list of applications, or uses the old one - from last synchronization
5) Client compares both his lists to know what he can update or install

I'm using folder customization for faster folder visual location, so I dedicate "appicon.ico" to be folder icon for every "AppNamePortable" folder.
In that folder windows creates "desktop.ini" file with "hidden" and "system" attributes, but it is deleted by installer whenever I update application.
It is not deleted if in "installer.ini" is statement:

[FilesToPreserve]
File1=desktop.ini

Hello,

Does Portable Apps Platform, scan additional directory / directories for other portable apps?

I have a few non open source apps like CCleanerPortable, etc. These apps are not updated by the portable apps updater and I have to manually update them from time to time. Some apps like WSCCPortable update them selves from the app itself. And some tools are single exe like Microsoft Spy++, WiFi2Hotspot, WMI Explorer etc.

I would like to keep them in separate directories for maintenance purposes.
