Under the long pathname, apps fail to install, and some fail to run - some fail to run altogether, and others run with erratic_behavior/errors. I know that the long pathname is causing this problem because when I place the PortableApps root folder at a shorter pathname, these problems do not occur. 00:10:29 So, how can I get around this, because I really do want to use PortableApps on the long pathname of my choice... ? 00:12:42 help!

Are you running it from a USB drive? 15:56:06 Yeah 15:56:16 You run Start.exe 15:56:31 Where is that? 15:57:08 Normally, you install the PA.c Platform to the root of your USB drive. That puts Start.exe right in the root directory. SO you open up Explorer, click on your USB drive in the list of drives. Then run Start.exe 15:57:31 OH 15:57:35 there it is 15:57:39 thanks john :) 15:57:43 Sure thing. 15:57:55 It doesn't come up in the autoplay menu anymore as MS disabled that for security reasons 16:02:07 *** pa_1120 has quit (Ping timeout: 245 seconds) 16:17:20 *** rainroom69 has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) 16:30:08 *** JohnTHaller has quit (Ping timeout: 252 seconds) 18:52:55 *** qwebirc61314 (4825f924@gateway/web/freenode/ip.72.37.249.36) has joined #portableapps 18:55:03 help! 18:55:04 qwebirc61314: Welcome to the PortableApps.com official chatroom.
