XAMP -- newer version?

I need to make some fundamental changes to a PHP script on my website.
For this, I'd like to install XAMPP portable. However, I see that portable apps
is currently only offering the relatively old version 1.7 from 2018.
Version 8.2, released in November 2024, is already available.

Is there any chance that portable apps will offer this newer version soon?

Be that as it may, thank you very much for these wonderful portable apps!

I was installing some apps for the first time on a new computer, never had a problem before with portableapps.com on other computers, but now when supermium was being installed windows detected: Trojan:Win32/Vigorf.A on the supermium temporary directories that are made during the installation, hope this doesn't become recurrent since this and another application the utility whynotwin11 "updated" and was carrying a another Trojan, now there are several apps asking for update today, and that becomes suspicious.

qBittorrent Portable – Include Python for Search Feature

Hello John T. Haller (@JohnTHaller) and the PortableApps Community

I want to raise a concern and suggest an improvement regarding qBittorrent Portable:

When using the Search feature in qBittorrent Portable, the app tries to install Python on the host system.

This behavior breaks PortableApps’ own guidelines, because the app modifies the host system rather than being fully self-contained.

How to import Site information from non portableapps Filezilla Client installation?

Submitted by pstein on November 14, 2025 - 1:42am

I have already a non-portableapps Filezilla client installation on my Win10 system but want to switch to portable apps Filezilla Client.
After download and extraction of pa version I imported previous FZ settings (from existing FZ installation).
The only file import offered was "filezilla.xml"

It worked only partially..

The layout was adjusted to the old FZ.

But the site manager information (shown in leftmost toolbar symbol) was NOT imported.
Existing site list is empty

chrome portable cannot load extensions

Submitted by ropr on September 12, 2025 - 1:31pm

Hello John, after upgrading chrome portable from 139.x to 140.x, all my extensions fail to load. I tried repairing it on the extension page but did not work. I tried reinstalling it and get the following error: Download error: Could not load javascript 'nscl/lib/browser-polyfill.js' for script. Any help is appreciated. I have downgraded back to 139.x for now and all the extensions loads properly.
