![]() On a new system I go for installing Windows on the system drive which I rename to C:sys. Just wanting to tell you how I was working: and talking about general things about how to make software portable within windows. I think this forum is made for reporting problems, bugs etc. I should have called this a "minor issue" or a "perhaps issue". On my usb stick, no platform installed, I install apps also simply by pointing the installer to the stick, this is all.ĭue to my not native english speaking issues I might not have been calling this thread a "major issue" though i posted it with a questionmark. ![]() When I now want install an app there, the installer will not find a place where to put it as there is no portableapps directory any more and I have to enter the path manually (or search for it) This is where I keep my portable apps on computer. I do not use the platform in general, I have simply a folder on my c:\APPS Then I deleted all those folders, meanning simply deleting the d:\PortableApps directory This also found the correct place to be installed immediately and the install path was already correctly written in the line before installation really started. They all landed under d:\Portableapps\xxxĭownloaded manually an app and run the installer. Then installed some apps from the platform function. New install of the platform, this time on drive d:Īgain, I was asked number of questions before the actual install started, but all landed in d:\PortableApps I even don't understand your exact problem here. This whole thread is a mashup of many different aspects but no single one is explained precisely enough to be reproduced. No one can help or nail a potential bug as long as your steps cannot be reproduced. So, if you want to find out, what is going wrong here, please start giving detailed information what you do (every single step as John asked for) and not the sparse summaries you provided until now. Keep in mind that the platform used to have a huge user base and many people would have reported that bug before (it is no special usecase to install the platform and apps separatly, many people do that). ![]() I never experienced anything you name as major bug here. I did this over a hundred times now in various occasions and different setups (pendrives, external hd/ssd, system root directory, secondary hd, subfolder and so on). No double PortableApps folder as you described or anything unexpected. I download any app from the PAc website and launch it => it suggests the right folder (C:\PortableApps\PicPickPortable in my example) and goes there. all folders and files go exactly where they should go - Documents folder, and PortableApps folder in C: root (or D: root when chosen manually) Local all users, drive c:\ as preselected (or select folder and choose d:\ for secondary hd.) I download the PortableApps Platform installer (_Platform_Setup_22.0.1.paf.exe) and launch it. ![]() I did that (as many people many times before) and it just behaves as expected: It will automatically feed it the correct path. Or you can use the App Store (which will put everything in the right place) and for apps not in the App Store, click Apps and then Install a New App (paf.exe) within the platform and then select the app installer you want to run. If you manually installed your platform to a non-standard directory, you'll need to manually select the D:\PortableApps\PortableApps directory yourself if you run the installer directly. It just scans drives for a PortableApps directory in the root, essentially making things a little easier for most users. The PA.c Installer used by the apps is much more simple. If, when installing the platform, you manually select the D:\PortableApps directory, it will install those directories within the existing PortableApps directory. As it installs, it creates the PortableApps and Documents directories. By "this" I'm guessing maybe you mean the PA.c Platform? If so, it's designed to be installed to the root of the drive.
