AbiWord _Portable_2.4.5.exe is not supported archive.

Submitted by symiggy on September 10, 2006 - 6:11pm

I am having a problem extracting my previously downloaded AbiWord_Portable_2.4.5.exe file.
When I double click the file I get the expected "7-Zip self-extracting archive" dialogue box but when I click the "Extract" button, I constantly get a 7-Zip Diagnostic message dialogue box which indicates that: "C:\..........\AbiWord_Portable_2.4.5.exe is not supported archive.
I have used several Portable Apps before and never encountered this problem in the past and I am familiar with the usual routine of extracting and using these types of applications.
I would appreciate any suggestions as to what the problem could be and how to fix it.

Sunbird: penalty for not starting out with Lighning? address book architecture?

Submitted by jsbenson on September 4, 2006 - 7:20pm

Hi, I've just started using portable Thunderbird and Sunbird. I like the idea of address book integration but the public calendaring stuff leaves me cold in an age of snooping.

My current plan is to continue until Lightning and Sunbird are past the 1.0 hump and then move from Sunbird to Lightning. Here is my question:

Will I experience any more pain moving from Sunbird to Lightning in, say, a year as opposed to starting out with Lightning right now? My guess is that standalone Sunbird is a little more mature just based on version numbers--please correct me if I'm wrong. Also, I want a rock-solid Thunderbird app since I depend on it for email, which inclines me to caution. I expect a future cutover from Sunbird to Lightning to be easy given their close relationship (or perhaps even identity to a large extent).

Fellow Users,

I am hoping that S.B.P. could have the option of uploading a calendar to a specific web server so that myself and my other co workers can access the same calendar and know what each others scheduels are, im trying to do this but im not sure what im doing wrong (pending this is an available function) if some one knows how to do this or clarify if this is a current option i would greatly appreciate your time

Thanks

Sunbird: Copying "Profile" from Hard drive didn't work

Submitted by stuartnz on August 15, 2006 - 8:22am

I copied all files from
C:\Documents and Settings\~\Application Data\Mozilla\Sunbird\Profiles\5mrt7ds9.default

into
SunbirdPortable\Data\profile

and when I opened Sunbird Portable, I got a completely empty calendar. What am I doing wrong? Here's a screenshot of the two directories to illustrate what I've done:
