Help! The following Portable Apps are still running: PORTABLEAPPSPLATFORM.EXE

Submitted by tonedef71 on August 28, 2014 - 11:16am

Help! I am running the PortableApps.com Platform version 12.01 on 64-bit Windows (browse here for the screenshot: http://snag.gy/HbmB4.jpg).

Often times when I try to exit the Portable Apps platform I get the warning message "The following Portable Apps are still running..." (browse here for the screenshot: http://snag.gy/X3Q1J.jpg). When this happens I cannot close the PortableApps.com Platform normally; I instead have to use Windows Task Manager to end the "PORTABLEAPPSPLATFORM.EXE *32" process manually.

Launching portable apps from a hard disk

Submitted by PortableJeff on August 27, 2014 - 10:12pm

Like so many others, I have installed the Suite to a hard disk partition, and run the apps from there. Today, I was making a shortcut from my desktop to one of the apps, and I found myself wondering: when launching an app from a hard disk like this, is there any advantage (stability, speed, etc.) to using the *Portable.exe rather than the actual application executable, from its own subfolder beneath the "App" subfolder?

I'm betting that it doesn't make any difference, but I'd like a definitive answer.

Thanks.

Updating Apps

Submitted by reem_151 on August 27, 2014 - 6:41am

When using my vista machine at home I do not have any problems with my portable app platform. When I use it at a library using Windows 7 I have trouble updating any of my apps. I get a message to update but on attempting the updates I get this error message "The download copy of [app name] is not valid and can not be installed. this could be due to an incomplete download or other network issue. Please try running the update again when complete". I just tried to update the portableApp.com platform on the Windows 7 machine and got the same error message.

Always when you start PortableApps 12.0.1.0 I get the following message: "Invalid image sitze". This message comes after the update from 11.2.0.0 to 12.0.1.0 and after a Reinistallation.

I use PortableApps in Windows XP and 8.1.Portable Apps 12.0.1.0 seems to be broken, Portable Apps 11.2.0.0 is top.

Auto close not working as expected?

Submitted by Rochey on August 26, 2014 - 5:11am

I'm not sure if this is a bug but I'm trying to get the Portableapps menu to close a couple of portable apps that I automatically start. The apps are "expresso" and "ditto". Every time I close the menu I'm presented with a pop up that says "please close the following apps 'expresso, ditto'". I then have to manually close the apps. Obviously this is not what I was expecting to happen I was hoping that it would close them automatically.
I'm currently running v12.0.1 and have gone through most of the betas.
