Utility Apps Support

When I tried to update this specific app (version 3.89 to 3.90), it gave me an error (a problem downloading the binaries from downloads.sysinternals.com). Manually downloading the file does work.

I also tried to download the ProcessMonitorPortable_3.90_online.paf.exe to try to do a "clean" installation and it also fails with the same error. Details given by the installer:

The application leaves a folder "Piriform" (which has a folder "Recuva" inside) in ProgramData.

I don't know what is going on there, but it seems to go wrong.
Maybe a crc wrong file?
Teamviewer like Google Chrome seems to elevate rights to do stuff I don't like.

The link for 'Learn more about PeaZip' points to an invalid URL. It should be peazip.com not peazip.org.

I have a persistent problem installing/upgrading Database Browser. It is cancelled with this message (translated from German):

"The downloaded file Database Browser is invalid and cannot be installed. Maybe the cause is an uncomplete download or a network problem. Please start the upgrade once again."

There is no problem with any other Portable App. I have no idea, what network problem could be adressed.

As of version 2.16.13, WinMerge now has support for settings stored in an INI file:

https://winmerge.org/docs/changelog.php?lang=en#winmerge-21613---2021-06-22
https://github.com/WinMerge/winmerge/issues/248

While, by default, it looks for an INI file next to the WinMergeU.exe file, you can also specify the INI file to use via command line:

Hello,

I got prompted to update HWInfo by the PortableApps Platform app, and proceeded.
Right after the upgrade, my Sophos Endpoint Agent started shouting about a malware in the files.

I know there can be false positives, but given HWInfo was already "installed" for quite a while on my computer, I'm surprised it suddently triggered AV protection.

FYI, the reported malware is Mal/hckPk-A .

Might be a false positive, thought it worth being reported given the AV behaviour change with the new version.

Update busted.

(How's that for a short sweet summary? )

Every other update succeeds, but TCPview says that the download is bad. Win7 64x (but I could try it from Linux) PortableApps installed on a dedicated Gorilla Stick.

Using TeamViewer it run ok but only for a few minutes. Then the session expires.
Is it necessary to INSTALL the program to run it normally?
Thank you

Whenever I open JavaPortableLauncher and select a JAR file to run an error pops up saying:

jPortable Launcher cannot be started. You may wish to re-install to fix this issue. (ERROR: jPortable/jdkPortable/OpenJDK could not be found)

Each time I reinstall this the same error occurs, the jPortable folder is located in C:\Users\PC\AppData\JavaPortableLauncher.
