Internet Apps Support

So when playing with chrome portable, I noticed that it used my current user directory for downloads. While this may be ok for some, this was not a reasonable option for me. I use portable apps from the hard disk of a virtual machine for work. What I like about portable apps is how it is a complete package, without the need for installation (aside from maybe copying a folder). So, for all of you who want to make chrome portable have a relative download directory (relative to the installation path), here it is.

When attempting to update my Pidgin Portable install to 2.10.3 from 2.10.2, I attempt to install it over the old install (as I've done the last 10 or so times I've updated). However, when I select the install folder, C:\Program Files (x86)\PortableApps\PidginPortable\ and click install, I receive the error:

"The destination folder you selected is invalid. Please choose a valid folder. [C:\Program Files (x86)]"

Hey ppl...

Just wanted to share my approach on having the complete set of putty tools in a really portable way.

The principles

The whole approach is based on the following principles:

I'm getting the dread MS error, "Pidgin has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience" every time I try to open the program. Does anybody else have this problem? Does it have to do with something our IT Police have done to my computer? I'm running version 2.10.2 from my thumb-drive. Thanks in advance.

I needed extra tools to run PuTTY portable with Emacs, so I packaged many of the extra tools as add-ons to PuTTY portable

The source is located at:

The installer is here:

Copied from org-export of the README:

PuTTYPortable Extensions Needed for Emacs

Miranda go on version 0.9.42 but on Portable Apps it only goes on version 0.9.35.
Will you update it?

Hello, just wondering if they forget to upx the files in the latest release?

Thanks.

Running the Portable Apps version of Opera , version 11.51.1087.0.

hi guys,

did you ever noticed that there is a log file log.txt always created when filezilla operates? it is left behind when filezilla closes in portable drive's root folder. ex. I have P:\portableApps\filezillaPortable. When I execute it, do something, close it, there is P:\log.txt file created. I like to have a log, but it should remain in app's folder, not in root..

cheers,
Sam

I can not run Chrome on my partition.

When I start it does not open any page, or even settings.

The screens are white!

I have windows 7.

When caught and put his briefcase on the desktop, it works!

The same happens with Iron and beta and dev.

Someone could help me?
