02:18:23 <pa_3755> hi is there a too that turns any windows installer into a paf.exe?
02:18:46 <OliverK> you might try the portable apps creator
02:18:50 <OliverK> but its unsupported
02:19:10 <OliverK> and you can't just convert any installer to a paf.exe
02:19:19 <pa_3755> is there a supported app
02:19:19 <OliverK> a paf.exe is a special installer or ours
02:19:38 <OliverK> that installed a app that we 'wrap' to make portable
02:20:15 <pa_3755> i see its just that theres a few apps i would love to make portable
02:20:25 <OliverK> what are those?
02:20:45 <Gizmokid2005> pa_3755: just making an app's installer a .paf.exe will not make it portable
02:20:49 <Gizmokid2005> .def field_guide
02:20:49 <GizmoBot> field_guide is here: http://portableapps.com/node/14868
02:20:54 <Gizmokid2005> ^ that is where you should start.
02:20:59 <pa_3755> 1 of them is called jet audio and the other is nero burning rom
02:21:11 <OliverK> infrarecord
02:21:16 <OliverK> and audacity
02:22:06 <pa_3755> jet audio is my main media player since it plays any video or music format wvwn dvds
02:22:15 <OliverK> oh
02:22:16 <OliverK> then
02:22:17 <pa_3755> *even

04:55:17 <pa_5462> hello
04:55:31 <ChrisMorgan> Hello, pa_5462; can we help you at all?
04:55:41 <pa_5462> Output folder: H:\PortableApps\OpenOfficePortable Create folder: H:\PortableApps\OpenOfficePortable\App Create folder: H:\PortableApps\OpenOfficePortable\App\openoffice\share Create folder: H:\PortableApps\OpenOfficePortable\App\openoffice\share Extract: OpenOfficeBasePortable.exe Extract: OpenOfficeCalcPortable.exe Extract: OpenOfficeDrawPortable.exe Extract: OpenOfficeImpressPortable.exe Extract: OpenOfficeMathPortable.ex
04:56:03 <pa_5462> sorry about that
04:56:17 <pa_5462> there seens to be a problem with open office
04:56:27 <ChrisMorgan> What's the problem you're getting?
04:57:06 <pa_5462> it extacts right to the end and then while extracting a file it crashes
04:57:42 <ChrisMorgan> Have you got any anti-virus or similar software installed that could be causing trouble?
04:57:56 <pa_5462> Extract: th_fr_v2.dat is the file it ends at and says it has problems extracting
04:58:01 <pa_5462> no
04:58:16 <ChrisMorgan> Any installed at all?
04:58:23 <pa_5462> no
04:58:24 <ChrisMorgan> I presume you're installing it to H:\PortbaleApps\OpenOfficePortable; are there any special folder permissions there?
04:58:36 <pa_5462> no
04:58:47 <ChrisMorgan> Is there enough free space?
04:58:55 <pa_5462> yes
04:59:06 <ChrisMorgan> Hmm...
04:59:23 <ChrisMorgan> I can't think what the problem could be :-(
04:59:42 <ChrisMorgan> Could you try installing to a different location, say C:\PortableApps\OpenOfficePortable?
05:00:17 <pa_5462> I have. i also tried on another computer
05:00:21 <pa_5462> smae issue
05:00:26 *** Res2216firestar has quit ("Leaving")
05:00:31 <pa_5462> sorry same
05:01:02 <pa_5462> ?
05:01:08 <ChrisMorgan> In that case about all I can think of is a slightly inaccurate download (though the installer should have squeaked about it).
05:01:21 <ChrisMorgan> Do you have an MD5 checker like winMd5sum?
05:01:58 <pa_5462> ? not sure what that is
05:02:07 <ChrisMorgan> OK
05:02:44 <ChrisMorgan> Well then, could you quickly download WinMd5Sum Portable from http://portableapps.com/apps/utilities/winmd5sum_portable and install it
05:03:00 <pa_5462> what does it do
05:03:13 <ChrisMorgan> Then run it, and drag the OpenOffice.org Portable installer into its window
05:03:37 <ChrisMorgan> It's for checking that files are correct
05:03:58 <pa_5462> ok
05:04:13 <pa_5462> will it correct any bad files
05:04:26 <ChrisMorgan> At the bottom of the OpenOffice.org Portable page at http://portableapps.com/apps/office/openoffice_portable there's an MD5 hash, bcde4982ba320ccc3e24841270b95419. Paste that into the "compare" text box
05:04:30 <ChrisMorgan> No, it just checks them.
05:05:25 <pa_5462> ok if it does come back with something what is the next step
05:06:12 <ChrisMorgan> Drag OpenOfficePortable_3.1.1_English.paf.exe into the winMd5Sum window, or select it in the File Name field
05:06:50 <ChrisMorgan> And copy "bcde4982ba320ccc3e24841270b95419" into the "Compare" field, then press "Compare"
05:06:55 <ChrisMorgan> The two should be the same.
05:07:27 <ChrisMorgan> If they're not, then you should redownload OpenOffice.org Portable as something has been corrupted.
05:07:46 <ChrisMorgan> If they're the same, then I can't help you as it's some weird problem with your computer configuration or something like that :-(
05:08:30 <pa_5462> thank you
05:09:44 <pa_5462> they appera to be the same
05:09:57 <pa_5462> any other suggestions
05:10:03 <ChrisMorgan> OK. Sorry, but I don't think I can help you :-(
05:10:22 <ChrisMorgan> You could get the OpenOffice.org Portable 3.1 installer and see if it works for you
05:10:39 <pa_5462> no worries thanks anyways
05:10:49 <ChrisMorgan> Do you want a link to 3.1.0?
05:11:24 <pa_5462> please it is a portable apps file format
05:11:33 <ChrisMorgan> Yes
05:11:47 <pa_5462> perfect sure
05:12:08 <ChrisMorgan> Just the previous version
05:12:16 <pa_5462> I had that previously installed worked great
05:12:54 <ChrisMorgan> But you don't still have it?
05:13:04 <pa_5462> earased it
05:13:13 <ChrisMorgan> http://sourceforge.net/projects/portableapps/files/OpenOffice.org%20Portable/OpenOffice.org%20Portable%203.1.0/OpenOfficePortable_3.1.0_English.paf.exe/download
05:13:33 <ChrisMorgan> Sorry that 3.1.1 didn't work for you :-(
05:14:02 <pa_5462> thanks ayways for your help much appreciate it
05:14:06 <ChrisMorgan> Or a simplified link, http://downloads.sourceforge.net/portableapps/OpenOfficePortable_3.1.0_English.paf.exe?download
05:14:11 <ChrisMorgan> You're welcome :-)

05:29:15 <rand08> how to activate autorun function .??
05:29:24 <ChrisMorgan> rand08: what operating system are you using?
05:30:01 <ChrisMorgan> There's no way of making it completely automatic after Windows 2000; you have to press "OK" on the AutoPlay (or AutoRun) window when it comes up
05:30:12 <ChrisMorgan> If it doesn't come up, your administrator has probably disabled it.
05:30:13 <rand08> some antivirus makes that portableapps.exe stop functioning.. ( i'm using windows vista home)
05:30:34 <ChrisMorgan> StartPortableApps.exe, or PortableApps.comPlatform.exe?
05:30:44 <ChrisMorgan> What is the anti-virus software?
05:30:56 <rand08> smadav
05:31:01 <ChrisMorgan> Please report it to them as a false positive. There's nothing wrong with our software.
05:32:17 <rand08> so., if i have to re-install my flashdrive.., means that my data's will lost?
05:32:29 <ChrisMorgan> I don't know exactly what it's done.
05:32:47 <ChrisMorgan> Normally all it'll do is move the executable to a quarrantine location or delete it
05:32:52 <ChrisMorgan> Everything else *should* be left alone.
05:33:30 <ChrisMorgan> I don't like the look of that SmadAV thing, I think you'd be better off with one like AVG.
05:33:30 <rand08> okay.., then i have to backup my files first
05:34:06 <ChrisMorgan> Their website is /really/ slow to load, looks very poor quality... and in my experience that generally also reflects on the quality of the program in some way.
05:34:21 <ChrisMorgan> So far it's been loading for over a minute and it still hasn't loaded.
05:37:11 <rand08> okay dude.., thanks for the support
05:37:25 <ChrisMorgan> You're welcome :-)
05:39:42 <ChrisMorgan> It still hasn't finished loading...

22:22:53 <MaienM> I assumed the user checked before asking
22:23:12 <Gizmokid2005> yeah...not these days. It's out
22:23:22 <Gizmokid2005> but it breaks all my addons and Lightning certainly doesn't work yet.
22:23:24 <MaienM> which makes sense if you're going to complain about something not being released :P

22:24:03 <Gizmokid2005> I don't use Tbird 3, I need Lightning and Provider for google cal
22:24:11 <MaienM> so once I restart I'll be on RC1
