[Fixed] Blender Portable 2.93.2 runs 32-bit version on Windows 8 64-bit

Submitted by PaulNormanNZ on August 18, 2021 - 10:02am

Hi,

I've been running PortableApps for years, and Blender on it as well with no problems.

Then PortableApps updated, including Blender, and on the first run I got a message about being onWindows 7 (which I am not Smile and that there was a legacy app available for Windows 7.

Mousing over the Blender item in the PortableApps menu, it showed as 2.93.2 as expected, but when Blender started it was 2.80!

Blender Portable stores data locally

Hello everyone.
After configuring Blender on my PC, I went to another one, and I discovered all my settings weren't there!
Blender Portable still stores data locally, while it should use its own folder. I also tried VLC, SeaMonkey and LibreOffice, no problems with any of them.
Maybe this pages will help:

Blender 2.93 doesn't work for Windows 7 | Reverting back to 2.92 | Updating issue

Submitted by AbsolutelyRandom on July 3, 2021 - 7:34pm

With the latest version of 2.93 of Blender, it doesn't work on Windows 7. The reason behind it is that Python 3.9 dropped support for Windows 7.
I have already installed the portable version 2.92 which works for me. How can I stop the PortableApps program from suggesting me updating Blender to 2.93 on each run?

Error installing the newest version of GIMP "extract error writing to file libx265.dll"

Submitted by via80HD on July 1, 2021 - 9:36pm

I keep getting this error when trying to install on an external hard drive. I had this same version installed but it kept freezing on me so I deleted the app and tried to re install it but now it wont even get halfway before throwing this error. Any ideas of what to do? I have screenshots but it seems that this site doesn't allow screenshots to be posted.

FreeCAD 0.19.2 api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll is missing

Submitted by Jay55 on June 9, 2021 - 3:50pm

Doesn't work. I have Win 7 service pack 1. It wont open the app up at all. Before this, I had tried their regular install a couple of weeks ago and when I tried to open it up it threw the message "This program cant start because, api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem".

Can't install GIMP 2.10.24

Submitted by josh.fitzgerald on May 24, 2021 - 11:31am

I am new to portable apps and was happy to see my favorite program GIMP on your list. When I used the regular uploader it was an old and unusable version so I'm trying to install the 2.10.24 portable version.

I downloaded the .paf from the website. Each time I try to install it I get a different error message and the installation stops midway.

Any trick to getting this to install?
