PortableApps.com Platform

Trying to understand how TB Portable syncs before and after travel. How large flash drive do I need for TBP? When I get back after trip, does TBP back up TB with the changes I made while traveling? Would it be possible to leave flash drive in PC and run TBP all the time and then take the drive on trip? Thanks.

I consider this to be a bug.
It seems the detection routine that ensures the PortableApps packager is not launched from C:\Program Files is flawed.

Any folder name starting with the string "Program Files" on my root is getting blocked, such as "C:\Program Files (portable)" which I had just created to store all my portable apps.

I've tried phrasing the Google Search in several ways, I've wondered around <portableapps.com>. Finally, I just have to ask:
Is there anything like a manual, or documentation, for the PortableApps.com Installer?

TIA

Hi there!!!

I have a question. I've added various custom portable programs to my PortableApps Menu (i. e., native portable software, not in PortableApps.com format). Now I wont to change the name of the main executable, or the name of the folder, but I can't find the file that contains such information. I've inspected the PortableAppsMenu.ini file, but it doesn't contain the information I'm searching for.

So, where are stored the paths of the custom added apps?

Thanks in advance,
Alpha!

For my work I need to keep compatible all the way down to XP

the upgrader has without warning just blasted in a version incompatible with the system it's being run on even ...xp sp3

Hi !
Recently i tried to update Google Chrome Portable... Using 2 ways... With no result !
I first tried the standard procedure through the PortableApps local menu : "Applications > Check Updates...".
In almost no time i got a long error message (my interface is a French one !) :

Hi,

I have noticed that when using the conformation dialogue box the all correct button is Ok. Should it not be OK as this is an abbreviation? There were several places where this issue occurred. Any comments anyone?

Also when using the backup facility for a full USB option the completion confirmation message reads has the drive letter plus an extra character "r" no quotes. It happens every time. Could the coding be double checked to see why.

Many thanks,

Clive

I have a problem with PortableApps updating on Windows 10.
Even if I run as administrator it is very hit-or-miss whether an app will update (mostly miss).
Also the PortableApps no longer opens a file explorer window when the USB stick is inserted.
I have to manually open a file explorer window and click start.exe to run PA launcher.
At the moment I am downloading the updates to a folder and then manually updating them.
Is this some new security trick from Microsoft?

An error occurred while copying the upgrade platform: D:\PortableApps\PortableApps\PortableApps.com\Data\
