does unsecure JPortable unsafes system?
if on usb device?
if on intern drive?
EDIT
maybe let JPortable stay on usb device, if it misses updates.

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.

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.

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:

hi john,
my ini shows
[PuTTYPortable]
and misses
RunLocally=false
EDIT
is delete or change false name ok?
AND
is the missing line not needed?

I updated System Informer Portable to 3.2.25011 and now every time I close it or try to modify options, the error occurs and "Unable to save application settings" windows pops up. How to fix it and where can I download older version of System Informer Portable?

hi
sadly have issues
.false versions? Ii have yours via europes top tech site. original file version says 1.6.0.0, which is much higher then here. and it is from 2005/2010. propably the developers dates.
.splash screen, no setting in option to disable
ideas?

EDIT
hm, the older version makes sense as supports every windows...

The problem is as follows: This portable version does not recognize a new Kindel gen. 12 paperwhite via MTP.
Both the installed version of Freefilesync and the “Donation portable version” have no problem with this.
And yes, I know I'm probably one of the very few people who don't manage their e-book library via calibre, but prefer to organize the books in folders "by hand". And with my kindle before this new one I used Freecommander XE portable for sync (no chance with the MTP from the new Kindle so I tried Freefilesync)

I installed BOINC Portable "Legacy Download: Windows 32-bit: 7.14.2" on https://portableapps.com/apps/utilities/boinc-portable#download_details in Windows XP and the installation in PortableApps went well, but when I try to run it I get an error about an .ini file not found. It doesn't work out of the box. I could start it by double clicking another .exe file in the BOINCPortableLegacyx86 subfolder, but that is too difficult for most people.
