WinMerge 2011 Portable includes both 32-bit & 64-bit versions of WinMerge 2011, however due to a small typo, it only ever launches the 32-bit version, even on 64-bit Windows. I noticed this when I couldn't compare a large file because it required too much RAM for the 32-bit version, and I was surprised by the error, since I was pretty sure the 64-bit version was included too.

Will you be updating this soon - current version is 5.5.7, PA is still on 5.5.4.

DUMo is also out of date.

Hello!
Subcategory "Other" of category "Utils" have 70+ applications. It's more than all applications of "Games" category.
At the same time categories "Font Tools" and "Time Wasters" have only one application.
I have a suggestion for administrators of this site.
Maybe divide "Other" category into several subcategories.
For example:

Checksum Computing
Checksum Control Portable - create and verify MD5/SFV checksums
Rapid CRC Unicode Portable - CRC/MD5/SHA hashing
winMd5Sum Portable - check md5 sums to verify files on the go

When I try to download Q-Dir, I get the following message (which I have never seen before):

Hey there, I have a Sata Hard drive that for some reason stopped booting on a computer with Windows XP Pro on it. I just tried to make it a second drive on a different computer on Sata1 port but the Win7 Computer sticks at a colored loading icon until I unplug the data cable, yes with it still running and it then finishes the boot, the bios does see it. So that might be one problem you could help with.

Wise Disk Cleaner and Wise Program Uninstaller repeatedly are blocked on my system.

Any thoughts on how I should deal with this? Perhaps to circumvent the block?

Yes Avast again with a false positive, cannot install.
Can anything be done?
Thanks

Hello,
thank you for the adding of CCleaner in PortableApps.
I meet a little problem. The functions [add "run CCleaner" option to Recycle Bin context menu] and [add "open CCleaner..." option to Recycle Bin context menu] don't seem to work properly. Everytime I launch CCleaner with a right mouse button click on the Recycle Bin, a new [ccleaner.ini] file is created with default settings. And it's very, very annoying.
Thanks.

Best regards

Oracle has officially dropped x86 / I586 builds for all platforms back in September 2017 with release of version 9. The version 8 is officially maintained for one year, so there would be no more updates for it after September 2018. Till then everybody should jump to the newest version, which would be 11 at the time. They also adopted rapid release cycle, with a new version every 6 month and probably some LTS version. But the latest isn’t important for this topic.

My JPortable Launcher stopped working recently (probably after a Java update) with “jPortable Launcher cannot be started. You may wish to re-install to fix this issue. (ERROR: jPortable [http://PortableApps.com/jPortable] could not be found)”. I reinstalled both JPortable Launcher and JPortable, but the error did not go away.
