sPortable v8.132.0.201 installation failure on Windows 10 (Home)

Submitted by Cornflower on November 29, 2024 - 5:23pm

I haven't used Skype since Windows 7 or 8.1. On two different Windows 10 computers, the current version stops mid-way through with tthe following error message:

" The downloaded copy of Skype is not valid and can not be installed. Please try installing again. "

It is possible that one of the Microsoft security updates has created this issue, or perhaps there is an incompatibility.

Here is my desktop on which I am attempting to install sPortable

Google Chrome - registry leftover

Submitted by AbsolutelyRandom on September 26, 2024 - 12:40pm

I use GoogleChromePortableLegacyWin764 and I have noticed that there's a registry key that stays in all the time (even with browser disabled) at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Google\Chrome which contains UsageStatsInSample entry. After its manual removal the key/entry gets regenerated on next browser launch. Any chance for automatic removal of the registry key at shutdown?

Zmportaple (Zoom). App start time is too long

Submitted by Paul_pss on September 22, 2024 - 9:59am

Hello.
Zmportaple (Zoom). App start time is too long. It takes up to 20-30 seconds to launch the app.

Probably, it is because the launcher should copy lots of files to AppData (and back - ZMlauncher stays in memory for about 30 sec after the app is closed). But, the similar app with portable appz launcher starts much faster (5 sec max). What can be the issue?

You changed the path from:

  1. qBittorrentPortable\Data\settings\AppData_qBittorrent to qBittorrentPortable\Data\qBittorrent\config

  2. qBittorrentPortable\Data\settings\LocalAppData_qBittorrent to qBittorrentPortable\Data\qBittorrent\data

These changes can cause users to lose their old data and settings.

Latest OperaPortable update fails to access old profile

Submitted by bloatfoe on September 20, 2024 - 11:33am

For everyone’s information: The latest Opera update wiped out my most recent session. This I noticed immediately, upon seeing that all my old tabs were gone. From there it started querying me as how I wanted to setup the browser, as it if were an initial installation. Hence there was an evident failure in accessing my whole former profile.

I did get a message at one point about conflicting profiles, but the suggestion about how to resolve it was incomplete. That is, there was no file in the referenced directory that was constructively apropos the issue.

(edit: secure developer)?

yet ANOTHER multiple instances problem

Submitted by shemshem on September 6, 2024 - 4:00pm

hello everyone. i want to run multiple instances of uget portable. i've tried sandboxie and a few command line shortcut tricks i came across online and nothing works. i've had no trouble with firefox and chrome but for some reason uget seems to be a special case. a case that requires more knowledge than i have. i want to use the external application launcher extension from the context menu, where each instance automatically downloads to a single download folder. there's an extension that does just that, but another extension i use breaks it and renders it useless.

Two problems about Chrome portable

Submitted by nathan.niu on September 4, 2024 - 10:30am

Hi, PortableApps are nice, thanks!

I have two problems to report.

(1) I installed PortableApps and Chrome Portable in my Windows 11, use some days.
When I switch OS to my Windows 10 on the same PC(on another disk partition),
When I launch Chrome Portable, It prompt me that some config will be reset.
and I have no other choice, I clicked reset, then I lost all opened tabs and passwords...
This problem is confusing me, please resolved it if possible.
