Any way to install non-Portableapps.com apps onto flash drive and bee seen by PAP?

Submitted by prr on July 8, 2015 - 6:20pm

I installed the Portable Apps Platform onto my flash drive, as well as the Firefox browser. However, the graphics program I like (Faststone) offers its own portable program, and is not available as a download here at this site. I tried simply copying the folder onto my flash drive, but the PAP does not see this in the flash drive and list it in the index/start menu.

Is there any way to install a non-PAP app onto the USB drive, and have PAP see it so I can have a shortcut in the start menu?

Update Check for Filezilla from Platform... does it work?

Submitted by Michael Europe on July 7, 2015 - 4:48pm

Hi,
many thanks for your work...
I'm using Portable Apps Platform,
one of my Apps is Filezilla.
When I launch it, it says there are updates; but when I check for updates from Platform, it says no updates are available (for any App).
Do you experience the same thing ?
I'm using Filezilla 3.10.1.1 (it says the newest version is 3.11.0.2) ; Platform version is 12.0.5. My OS is Windows 8.1.
Thanks in advance...

On double-clicking "start.exe" on USB drive root, grey portableapps frame appears but program stops there. Popup specifies module not found. ClassID:{56FDF344-FD6D-11D0-958A-006097-C9A090}. This has only appeared since upgrading to 12.05. Have tried to uninstall and reinstall but have the same problem. PC is Windows 7 Pro. Has not been upgraded since August 2014. Thanks

file associations with vbscript

Hi there,
thought I'd make a small contribution...
Using portable apps for a while now as my main apps. That means there's a the strict minimum installed on my c: partition to keep the system clean.
What had been bugging me was that the file association was not integrated in the system. I tried coffee and some others but I prefer a more direct approach, since all my portableApps are permanently on my d: partition. So here's a (little) vbscript to do just that. Tested on win7x64. Edit at your convenience, save in a text file with vbs extension and double-clic.

PortableApps under Windows 10

Submitted by AllenLStarr on June 3, 2015 - 12:04pm

Windows 10 will contain a new security feature called Device Guard:
"Microsoft's new Device Guard is aimed at blocking zero-day attacks by vetting applications that try to access a Windows 10 machine and its network. It basically blocks any applications that are not signed by specific software vendors, the Windows app store, and an enterprise itself."

Does/Will PortableApps satisfy the Windows 10 criteria for Device Guard?

How Do I Install More Than One Portable Application at a Time

Submitted by bobsowle on June 1, 2015 - 11:23am

I downloaded 245 portable applications. The Portable Apps platform only allows installation of one application at a time. There should be a batch file or option to install multiple applications one after the other. is there such a thing? What would I need to do to write a batch file that installs all of the applications put in an install folder?
