PortableApps.com Platform

Hi everyone

I would like to make an encrypted boot USB drive with Portable Apps. So that if I lose the drive it cant be accessed by anyone.
Ive searched around and cant find a way to do this. I have tried installing PA on my drive and then encrypting it but cant figure this out either.
Sorry to be such a noobie!

Any tips gratefully received

Thanks very much

I am using windows 8, 63 bit with the portable app installed in a folder on the desktop and is a brand new version created on 14.1 with exe disabled and firewall/antivirus running. When trying to install the apps from store it says successful and completed but the apps do not appear anywhere on the computer or in the portable apps menu. The manually downloaded apps crash after booting the app. Currently am using the files as bat due to problems with security settings with the exe.

Hi

I recently got these warnings when running SuperAntiSpyware 6.0.1224.
Probably nothing to worry about...

Hello,

Whenever i update the portableapps platform, it always install on the root path of the disk, i don't like this because i put all the apps including the portableapps platform in "D:\apps".

I like to request the portableapps team to add an option to use a custom path to install the platform.

TIA!

Hello,

I use portableapps platform for updating portableapps apps, and when i start the platform it takes some time to list all the apps on my disk, i like to request the portableapps team to add an option to disable app listing on startup. maybe reload the listing when a new app is found only.

TIA!

You cannot update a portable app in the installer itself except if you download it from your browser.
It only says "Connecting..." then it straight up go to the next app then says "Connecting..." again until the list is finished, but, it did not download anything and just gives me an error......

Please Help.......

Flashing folders in Cubic Explorer. The bar that shows the drives is constantly flashing as if it's refreshing. I really like this program but the flashing is driving me nuts. Is there a way to stop it?

Would you consider updating PortableApps.com Platform App so that optionally only the system tray icon would be shown when it is run, without the button on the taskbar? Some may find this more comfortable and handy to use and this button would not take unnecessary space on the taskbar. I hope it can be done:-)

I am new to this. I installed the Portable Apps Platform on my USB and installed about a dozen programs I use, also on the USB, from within the platform program by placing checks in the boxes. They seem to all have installed properly and open just fine.

But every time I open the Platform program by clicking on start.exe (I believe that is its name), I get a Warning message which says that my autorun file has been changed by possible malware, so I should run an AV program. I ran the Clam Av and other AV programs I have (Malwarebytes, etc.) and there are no infections.

Hi there! I have installed portable apps on my cloud drive (OneDrive) and want to be able to run a subset of the programs at startup on multiple machines - for example, my home system, my workstation at the office, and my laptop.

If I have certain programs that I want to run permanently (for example, lightscreen, autohotkey, dm2, ditto, etc.), then they conflict with each other's startup information, and I start getting the "Another instance of x is already running. Please close other instances of x before launching x." message.
