Chrome won't run after an update

Submitted by muziekboot2 on August 7, 2017 - 12:56pm

For the second time within two months I had a problem with Google Chrome Portable: after doing an update Chrome won't work.

Removing and re-update is not possible; there is one file that I cannot remove (not even as an administrator).

That file is C:\PortableApps\GoogleChromePortable\App\Chrome-bin/chrome.exe

After several attempts I realised that this file might be corrupted. Performing a CHKDSK /F (which runs at least an hout on my PC) solved the problem: CHKDSK removed the file.

Simultaneous opening of portable Google Chrome and SRWare Iron web browsers.

Submitted by TSerzhO_ on August 4, 2017 - 8:38am

In case if portable Google Chrome is loaded, portable SRWare Iron can not be started with an error that 'another instance of Iron is already running': "Please close other instances of Iron before launching Iron portable" the message says.

Can this be fixed? Thanks!

[Fixed] FileZilla Portable 3.27.0.1 running in local mode

Submitted by huang63 on July 26, 2017 - 2:39am

Hi,

I noticed that my settings in Site Manager disappeared after I updated FileZilla to 3.27.0.1. After further research, I noticed

* directory FileZilla was created under C:\Users\\AppData\Local and it has the image files similar to what I saw in Data\Cache
* setting XML's are in C:\Users\\AppDataRoaming\FileZilla

I wonder whether this is a bug or something changed in this new release?

Thanks.

PortableApps browsers & Windows Firewall with Advanced Settings

Submitted by Infos on July 2, 2017 - 1:14pm

Hi,

I use Windows Firewall with Advanced Settings and I don't know enable connection for PortableApps browsers.

I use task manager to find the exe browser (FirefoxPortable/App/Firefox64/firefox.exe, OperaPortable/App/Opera/46.0.2597.32/opera.exe or K-MeleonPortable/App/K-Meleon/k-meleon.exe) and I create a rule to allow this exe to connect to HPPT & HTTPS (TCP 80 & 443) like a resident browser. But it can't connect.

I think that PortableApps browers use a Windows service to connect, but which one ?

Google Chrome display errors

Submitted by area0 on June 13, 2017 - 8:03am

Hey guys,

I have a problem with Chrome portable. On some sites (Google Drive unfortunatly, too) it has massive display errors like black areas or insivible content. The installed version worked fine. Does someone know what the problem might be?

Here are some details:
- Chrome is running from a SD card and integrated in the PortableApps Suite
- This computer has an Atom graphics card (had some problems with it before trying to install Linux)

If you need more information please ask!

Thanks for your help!
