Submitted by wetabax on September 3, 2025 - 3:24pm

Hi. I'm using Windows 11, Build 22621 ni_release 220506_1250.
Version of PortableApps is 30.0.4

Installed version Duplicate Files Finder closes right after entering the mouse indicator into the program window.
No way to avoid. Uninstall and Reinstall app.
Went to folder propierties and unselected read-onldy files for all folder.

Doesn't resolve the problem. The issue remains.

No data about this issue in windows event log. Any idea?

thanks for any help.

[Closed] TeamViewer 15.67.3 doesn't work on Windows 7

Submitted by AbsolutelyRandom on June 27, 2025 - 12:28am

The latest version of TeamViewer (15.67.3) doesn't work on Win7 x64. The previous version (15.66.4) does work correctly on Win7. Unless there is an issue with the portable release, the latest version of TeamViewer dropped support for Windows 7. It would be useful to prepare a legacy version of the app.

RSSGuard Portable on Sourceforge.net folder

Submitted by rbon on April 16, 2025 - 11:12am

Hi John,
I have see that Rufus Portable 4.7 has been released.
Thanks.

..But the 'Rufus Portable' folder on Sourceforge.net contains also the program:
--> RSSGuardPortable_4.7.2.paf.exe

I suggest You to move 'RSSGuard Portable 4.7.2' to the related folder on Sourcerforge.net:
--> RSSGuard Portable

Thanks again.

b.t.w.
I have see that this file has downloaded many times. Maybe there is a problem on file link.

JPortable Updates?

Java 8 (freeware) on portableapps is 8u411 (april 2024), there have been 3 updates (with some security fixes too) since.

As far I understand the jPortable online installer, it downloads a re-hosted (somewhere akin to here -> https://sourceforge.net/projects/portableapps/files/Java/) 32/64bit Oracle's tgz archive with binaries, to avoid downloading and portably unpacking the official exe installer without installation, which is not necessarily trivial.

Recommendation for portable search app

Submitted by prr on April 7, 2025 - 11:35am

I am looking to install a search app on my USB thumb drive. I installed Agent Ransack (portable version, from their own site) and it was excellent for searching titles, but when I asked it to search content, it (reasonably enough, I suppose) searched through every video file that I have, which slows down operations considerably.

Is there a search utility that will let me exclude certain file types, when I search for content?

Barring that, I have seen here at the portable apps site, three search utilities:
