On my XP PRO SP3 I cannot open latest release (Abiword Portable 2.8.6) and I get these event errors:

Error ID 34
source: SideBySide
Description: [something about identity found in manifest...]

Error ID 58
source: SideBySide
Description: "syntax error in file manifest file or criteria "D:\work\zip\AbiWord Portable286\App\AbiWord\bin\Microsoft.VC90.CRT.MANIFEST"; line 11"

Error ID 59
source: SideBySide
Description: "...Generate Activation Context failed..."

Note than dlls in bin folders seem conformed to manifest
msvcm90.dll - 9.0.30729.1
msvcp90.dll - 9.0.30729.1

Installed 2.8.6 but can not find a way to enable Latex based Equation Editor, any inputs?

I changed the language settings in the AbiWord 2.6 installed on D partition. After that the menu in Abi disappeared, and then I could not (and still cannot) launch it at all. I cannot also launch Abi from the memory stick with a separate Portable Platform installation. Reboot does not help. This tells me that the problem is with some settings on the laptop that Abi changed/corrupted - the memory stick with Abi works fine on a different computer. I thought that portable appl.

Hello All,
I've been using Portable Apps for a long time however this is the first post I am making on these forums.

I need an Portable iTunes Alternative program that will work with both mp3s and mp4s. ITunes has updated and deleted all of my information six times already. I lose everything! The music stays in the program but I lose all of my podcasts and all of the videos I have listed as TV shows and any music videos I have are moved to the Movies folder and the track, episode, and title data I spend time filling out disappears.

I have installed PortableApps suite light. During installation Norton Internet Security detected and removed pluginlatex.dll file from plugin folder in AbiWord. It has classified it as Suspicious.Cloud Heurestic Virus.

I have run this file through Virus Total - no other virus engine detects it except TrendMicro which calls it positive PAK_Generic.001

I assumed it is false positive and have written email to Symantec about it.

Just curious, can I just extract the files from the installer, and put them in the same place?

If I have a dictionary installed, opening a document creates these files, which are left behind on exit.

%APPDATA%\enchant\*.dic
%APPDATA%\enchant\*.exc

Openoffice, Abiword and Cornice fail to launch. This situation looks pretty similar to yours.
After I click Abiword icon, the following applications were launched in the background successively.

1, AbiWordPortable.exe
2, C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntvdm.exe -f -i3 -o

And then these application terminate, nothing happen in the foreground.

Info: AbiWord 2.8.2 Online, wait on PortableApps.com Version

The problem is that I had created some calendars and dates, and I didn't close a program for a couple of days on my PC. Then the electricity came off and PC rebooted, and when I had started a Sunbird, all info has gone.
Can be there a possible way to restore all the info I had?
