PortableApps does not start or update normally

Submitted by khs10uk on July 5, 2013 - 3:54pm

In the root folder of the USB stick, when I click on the usual START icon for PortableApps, I get this warning:

>>>>
The PortableAppsPlatform.exe file is not a valid PortableApps.com release and can not be launched.
>>>>

Yet when I go into the PortableApps folder, then go into PortableApps.com and click on PortableAppsPlatform.exe, the application starts.

BUT, having opened, I get the error box:

>>>>

invalid float operation

Hi,

My university provides us with a very large (unlimited?) network drive to store our data. When running the PA platform from this drive, I get an 'invalid float operation' error. I know this error is listed as an unconfirmed bug. Therefore I wanted to confirm it as this bug seems to have been around for a long time.

Cheers.

Updating requires interrogation

I'm surprised this hasn't been brought up before. I was updating apps. I knew it would take awhile so I started the update of twelve or so apps from the update option in the Portable Apps Platform menu.

Have you ever used Ninite? You check a dozen apps and everything installs in the background and a while later it tells you it's done? Portable Apps doesn't work like that. Every single program interrogates you. Where do you want to install? Do you agree to the terms? What is your dog's maiden name?
