PortableApps.com Platform

Hi John,

As you requested in topic https://portableapps.com/node/43393, I am making a new topic.
My problem is as follows:
- the updater seems to update my apps, but if I rerun the updater, the apps need to be updated again.
- My PortableApps folder is located within my My Documents folder C:\Users\abcdefg\Documents\PA. The Portable Apps are located in the subfolder 'PortableApps'
- I'm running Windows 8.1 64-bit

Hi,
Is it possible to add a new environmental variable to the platform for PAL:LastPortableAppsDir which will store PAL:PortableAppsDir for next time.
The reason for the request is that the other two available options are either to far in or to far out.

So i installed the portable apps platform, it works great. One problem i have though is the fact that it renamed y thumb drive and changed the logo. The name is required for work so i can collaborate effectively and it would be a pain to change this. Anyone know how to change the name back to work1?

To be honest, I am not sure where this post should be classified, but I can gladly move it if need be. So please advise if the better choice would be " Off Topic" instead of in here as I have placed it already. Thanks.

I have a problem with the updater: When I try to update I get a long list of programs. I try to update all of them, and the updater works for a long time, downloading and updating. When I start the updater again, I get the same list – the programs have obviously not been updated.
I try to download a single program installer and run it, but it says it cannot write to a certain file. When I run the installer as administrator, it works, and the program disappears from the next list.
I suppose there is a silly setting that is wrong. Can you help me?

I am trying to download an new copy of PortableApps and I am getting this error message when I try to install.
The Signature of PortableApps.com-Platform-Setup-12.0.5.paf.exe is corrupt or invalid.

Sorry if I couldn't express myself at the title.

I download portable apps and unzip them individually and do not launch them by platform, I make shortcuts for each and run them that way. By this I feel like they are installed apps in Program Files not portable ones.

Anyway, I want to update them all automatically. Because I unzipped and installed them myself, the portableapps.com platform doesn't see them. They don't appear in the menu.

So without using platform, can I or how can I update my apps all together?

thanks.

Hello,

I use Appsportable on three supports : Hard disk of ma PC, USB Disk and USB key. On Hard disk and USB Disk, thre is no problem for automatic updating.

But, with USB key, the update don't work. Manual update too (on the same machine at th same time whatever at home or at office).

The message is "Impossible de se connecter à PortableApps.com pour récupérer les applications portables. Veuillez réessayer ultérieurement [ InvalidZipFilePossibleNoConnectionOrFirewall ]

I'm using pApps platform in two distinct environments: on production server and at home.
Options at home:
check for updates: yes
update to beta platform releases: yes
Options in production environment:
update to beta platform releases: no

It was set several versions ago. For now both are 12.0.5 (not beta)

If there is available update for the apps (not the platform itself):
In production environment there is a window with list of updates as list with checkboxes.

Whenever I exit PA, the configuration file gets erased. So when I start it the next time, I have to hide apps, set 'Run Automatically', etc. all over again. Is this how it's supposed to work? Can't the config file be retained from session to session?

Thanks.
