PortableApps.com Menu, Backup and Platform/Suite installer.
Hi,
I've searched the forum, but cannot find an answer. The reason for my question is I run the Portable Apps on my external hard drive connected to my work laptop. My employer has implemented a network security warning to the network admins if I try to run a .exe program on my laptop. And now there is a platform update, so I'm not sure whether I should run it or not.
1.) I would very much like to suggest adding incremental search to the titled alphabetized & categories Apps list when looking to install more apps.
2. ) I find performance to be dramatically improved by installing the portable apps system onto my computers' hard drive. It would be useful if PortableApps would include an easy to use sync feature.
Under Windows 10, I have setup to shutoff the monitor after 1 hour of inactivity. I normally leave my Thunderbird active overnight under PortableApps (and sometimes Firefox, too). I do not allow "sleep" to occur overnight. When I return to the monitor, I find a stack of error popup windows, each reporting the same following error: Access violation at address 0052CD6C 'PortableAppsPlatform.exe' read of address 00000004.
It appears as if this error is regenerated about once every 30 minutes after the screen shuts off. Is this a known problem? Any suggestions for a fix?
I'm looking for TeamViewer 10 of PortableAPPs.
Does anyone know where I can download it.
I looked every ... all they have is the ... "non PortableAPPs version".
Thanks!
Some apps are no longer supported on Windows XP, such as Filezilla and Google Chrome. All latest updates on these 2 apps can no longer run on windows XP. Is there a setting on the platform to ignore certain app update, so whatever future updates it will not auto-include or auto-check it in the checklist?
I made no changes to my system, yet PA for the most part quit working. I get the popup message ...\PortableAppsPlatform\PortableApps\OperaPortable\App\Appinfo\Launcher\OperaPortable.ini is missing [Launch]:Program executable - what am I to launch?
I verified that the ini file exists and the permissions are good. It contains this:
[Launch]
ProgramExecutable=Opera\36.0.2130.65\opera.exe
WaitForEXE1=opera_crashreporter.exe
CommandLineArguments=--ran-launcher
DirectoryMoveOK=yes
SupportsUNC=yes
...
For some reason, i want to set password to open Portableapp Plasfom. Some one who did or know pls show me ?
Thanks in advance
I'm trying to install one of my personal business software applications on PortableApps and it is failing to run. Is there a registry in Portableapps that I can access to point to a specific folder that is not being seen when I try to run the program?
I guess the bigger question is...Can non portable apps (regular Windows based software) run in PortableApps?
Been using Portableapps for years. Went to upgrade to the new version today (was ready to make a donation). It totally erased my drive. Anyone else?
