Cannot update Chrome using Portable App Updater

Submitted by pmyers389 on October 27, 2023 - 6:04pm

When Portable App updater tries to update Chrome I get an error message:

Unable to download the file. This could be due to a proxy or network issue or the hosting server not permitting downloads from your location. File:http://portableapps.com/redirect/?s=p8ta= GoopleC hromePortable8td
= sfpa8twv= 10&f= GoopleChromePortable 118.0.5993.118 online.paf.
exe

I have used this app for years on my personal computer and this is the first time I have run into problems.

Issues with the update if there is not enough space, maybe during the update.

I had the following issue last week: after starting the PC and PA Platform, the updater for potable Firefox was started. At the same time the Firefox update was running, the other updates, like OS updates, also kicked in. So there was not enough space for the Firefox update, but there was no error message from the updater. As I started Firefox afterward, the platform informed me about an incomplete installation of Firefox and suggested I manually download it again.

Download speeds have been bad for about a week

Did something change with the hosting for PA.c downloads? My download speeds have been very slow for around the past week. Have tried every day and still have the issue. I am on a gigabit connection in the UK and still get really slow speeds. Occasionally the download will just stop.

Anyone else noticing this? I'm sorry if it was already addressed, but I didn't know where else to bring this up.

Regards,
Justin

When absolute path length is greater than 260 characters, PortableApps Platform can not open app

Submitted by Mark888 on September 24, 2023 - 8:46am

As suggested, I shall open a new thread to track this issue.

I have multiple apps/utilities that were categorized into folders, under PoratableApps.com folder I just put directory symlinks to the real directories.

Because the real directories were categorized into folders, sometimes its paths were a bit long. I managed it somehow.

However, whenever the absolute path length is greater than 260 characters, the app can not be opened from the PortableApps.com Platform.
