Installing Global Assembly Cache

Submitted by Dividend8247 on March 12, 2025 - 3:57pm

Hello guys. I am new to PortableApps, a colleague introduced me.
We are using some Apps for work with this platform and that mentioned colleague started portabilising those apps many years before.
Now I looked a bit further into an App, because I noted that this App wasn't actually portable.
He added an batch script to install some dependencies, but that only works if you delete a text file again. As a looked into those dependencies that come with the App I also noted there were scripts by the developer to install/uninstall those dependencies using "gacutil.exe".

Issue with Portable Version of LibreOffice Calc

Submitted by vint on December 15, 2024 - 6:21am

Dear Support Team,

I am a Windows 11 24H2 x64 user and would like to report an issue with your portable version of LibreOffice Calc. I have been using version 24.2.3.2, which I downloaded a while ago from your website, and recently I also downloaded version 24.8.2.

The file I work with in Calc has the following characteristics:

- 15 sheets
- 100,600 cells
- 4,608 pages
- 2 formula groups

The problem:
When I make changes to the file, the program crashes. The larger the changes, the higher the likelihood of a crash.

Firefox Portable ESR as a default browser

Submitted by Leonid N on November 4, 2024 - 6:21am

Hello.

Firefox Portable 115.17.0esr 64 bit, Windows 7 x64.

If you install the Firefox flag as a default browser...

Then, when opening the link, for example, from the postal program, the browser opens a new window, while it uses the default settings. I think he does not see his main profile.

Can I fix it?

Can you make so that a new tab opens, not a window?

Thanks.
