Pidgin: "The desitation folder you selected is invalid" error when attempting to upgrade or install an app

Submitted by mekki on April 11, 2012 - 3:05pm

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)]"

"Pidgin must close..."

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.

PuTTY Portable Extra Tools

Submitted by mfidler on January 28, 2012 - 4:36pm

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:

[Closed] FileZilla: log file left behind in portable drive's root

Submitted by skroslak on November 1, 2011 - 5:35am

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

PuTTY: Import setting from locally installed version

Submitted by wallzy on August 26, 2011 - 10:56am

I have putty installed on my laptop (Win7) which is configured with many many server connections. I installed Putty portable on a USB drive because I thought it would be useful should I not have my laptop and need to access servers from another computer.

Is there an easy way to export all the setting in my current Putty set-up on my local machine to the portable version installed on my USB drive?
