[Closed] Updater fails without giving errors

Submitted by hullabaloo on June 15, 2017 - 6:04am

It's been days since my 3 portableapps platforms, all hosted in my system drive, fails to update.

Every time I go on with the update wizard it proceed downloading the apps, then it skip directly to the end of the operations very fast. And every time it doesn't do nothing, so that I'm stucked.

I tried with a fresh installation of the platform but when I try to download and install an app it just do the same and nothing happen.

The problem seems related to the updater tool, cause if I download the apps directly from the website they install correctly.

Possibility to skip pop-up after forced shutdown.

Please add the possibility to skip pop-up after forced shutdown. It is quite annoying to have to double-start every single program on reboot. And since the popup requires no interaction / decision, the information might as well be omitted....

Error message says: AppXY did not close properly last time it was run and will cleanup now. ......... Manually restart it

Cleanup, then restart automatically as an option and default!?

I've created a template custom.nsh for use with PA.c Launcher which has support for quick dotNET checking, Registering DLLs, Services, & Scheduled Tasks. It's somewhat commented as well.

This is for those more hardcore portable junkies who have some NSIS knowledge base in their code bank répertorier. Lol. I figured this could be useful so here it is: Gist

Any room under that rock? I was excited when saw the start of that thread, albeit four years old. Sad to see it fall into disarray with the weenie-goober-ramblings.

I am in need of a portable version of firefox that will run netflix on our home theatre laptop. It is an old Lenovo Thinkpad now running FireFox 53 on Ubuntu 14.04LTS-x64, but for the life of me I cannot get Netflix to run.

Install/update apps ASAP

Submitted by milsabords on April 24, 2017 - 7:51am

Hi,
Would you consider launching/queuing the install/upate of portable apps right after they have been dowloaded, and removing the paf.exe file once the install/update is finished ?
Doing the downloads and the installs in concurrent threads would drastically reduce the time it takes, and the temporary disk space used by nsq*.tmp.

[Fixed] sPortable dll files have wrong names

Submitted by skip1029 on April 17, 2017 - 11:37am

I think I have found a bug with "sPortable".

I downloaded the latest version (7.35.0.101) and installed to the root drive C:\ of a freshly installed Windows 7 64-bit. When I tried to run it a dialog box says "The program can't start because api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll is missing from your computer."

I've tried with ", ', nothing, '",
Nothing works. Any help?
