01:01:31 <sar3th> znc
01:02:19 <ChrisMorgan> On kde-win portable
01:02:30 <sar3th> oh lol
01:02:41 <sar3th> it's compiling a custom test of the installer right now =D
01:02:50 <sar3th> i setup a dedicated box for it
01:02:58 <sar3th> i don't expect it to work yet, though
01:03:01 <sar3th> but it's a start
01:03:08 <ChrisMorgan> Good :-)
01:03:15 <sar3th> i've been on holiday for 1 week, so i haven't done much since then
01:03:22 <sar3th> apart from that, it looks pretty good
01:03:29 <ChrisMorgan> Good :-)
01:04:45 <sar3th> i didn't want to go with a dev test yet, as it's not ready at all now :| it's too easy to screw everything up at the moment

14:38:41 <pa_5102> Could someone please explain why the new version of Portable Apps is so slow to install? To install the main applcation takes about 2.5 hours to flash drive. GNU Cash has already been installing over an hour..

15:07:51 <pa_0890> I am having trouble installing your program on my Windows XP machine.
15:10:20 <pa_0890> help
15:12:38 <Gizmokid2005> pa_0890: what's the issue?
15:14:25 <pa_0890> I downloaded your v 1.6 in English. I entered a location for the program at \doc and set\HP admin\Start\Programs and it started to download but then failed near the end and I aborted at that point
15:16:08 <Gizmokid2005> First off - the suite is designed to be installed to the root of a drive to avoid any path issues.
15:16:20 <Gizmokid2005> and if you can't get the download, try another sourceforge mirror
15:16:31 <Gizmokid2005> there's nothing we can do to help with a failed download
15:16:39 <pa_0890> What do you suggest as a location then ?
15:17:18 <Gizmokid2005> as it's meant to be installed on a USB drive or other device, it's recommended to install to X:\ (Where X: is the drive letter, and the suite would wind up in X:\PortableApps)
15:18:04 <pa_0890> okay-will try that. I missed that part of the instruction. Thanks
15:18:20 <pa_0890> bye

21:49:45 <pa_2191> hi
21:51:08 <pa_2191> I was hoping there was someone around that manages the portableapps.com website, I wanted to let them know that the download link for XnView Portable is apparently broken as it only downloads a file with a size of 890k instead of the reported 5Mb that it should
21:51:31 *** marlop has quit (Quit: Leaving...)
21:52:49 <ChrisMorgan> pa_2191: it's an online installer, isn't it?
21:53:26 <pa_2191> last I checked it wasn't, I've downloaded it before
21:53:49 *** kai_62656 is now known as kai_62656|gone
21:54:48 <pa_2191> when I try to run the 890k download I get an NSIS error message stating the the installer has failed the integrity check, I've tried downloading it 5 times
21:55:55 <ChrisMorgan> I'm getting a length of 3987707
21:56:01 <ChrisMorgan> 3.8MB
21:56:25 <pa_2191> check the actual file size once it's downloaded, mine only ended up being 890K all 5 times
21:56:29 <ChrisMorgan> And it's working fine.
21:56:38 <ChrisMorgan> What're you downloading it with?
21:56:51 <pa_2191> IE8
21:57:09 <ChrisMorgan> If you've got another browser or download tool, try it
21:57:36 <ChrisMorgan> Is there any content filtering on your network, or anti-malware software which could potentially dislike it and break it?
21:57:57 <pa_2191> I would if they would put a direct link on the page instead of the garbled/processed link they posted
21:58:15 <pa_2191> doubtful I've downloaded it on these computers before (public library)
21:58:41 <ChrisMorgan> What do you mean? The link is fine - it goes through a bounce page for download stats, that's all
21:59:27 <ChrisMorgan> Anyway, your download has been truncated by something. The NSIS error message shows that it's getting the start of the executable, but not all of it.
21:59:29 <pa_2191> because of the stupid 'bounce page' my stupid download manager won't download it the way it's formatted
21:59:36 <ChrisMorgan> It's working fine for me anyway
21:59:43 <ChrisMorgan> What is the download manager?
21:59:57 <ChrisMorgan> If it can't handle URL encoding it must be pretty poor...
22:00:41 <pa_2191> Free Download Manager & WinWget, remember I'm on the computers at the public library so I'm limited to portable software
22:00:57 <ChrisMorgan> What's the URL your copying to them?
22:01:20 <ChrisMorgan> It should be http://portableapps.com/bouncer?t=http%3A%2F%2Fdownload.portableapps.com%2Fportableapps%2Fxnviewportable%2FXnViewPortable_1.97.paf.exe
22:01:44 <ChrisMorgan> If you really want a direct link, http://download.portableapps.com/portableapps/xnviewportable/XnViewPortable_1.97.paf.exe
22:02:33 <pa_2191> I wasn't copying any link because the stupid 'copy shortcut' option wasn't enabled when I right click on the damn download button!!!!
22:05:12 <ChrisMorgan> Slightly locked down browser
22:05:31 <pa_2191> I've never had problems before on these very same computers though
22:07:14 <pa_2191> even the 'direct' URL ChrisMorgan posted didn't work with FreeDownload Manager, I only got a download with a size of 12kb that time
22:07:41 <ChrisMorgan> pa_2191: try opening it in a text editor and see what it contains
22:08:27 <ChrisMorgan> I have a suspicion it's either being blocked by PortableApps.com (have you specified a referrer or not?) or the library
22:09:41 <pa_2191> here's one of the results: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
22:09:48 <pa_2191> plus a lot of other stuff
22:10:06 <pa_2191> that was in the paf.exe file I downloaded on one of my attempts
22:11:12 <ChrisMorgan> Rename it to .html instead of .exe and open it in a browser and see what it says
22:11:44 <pa_2191> well I tried it using the URL with WinWget and this time it worked, not sure why it wouldn't work in IE8 or with FDM though
22:12:40 <pa_2191> I'd think that if it was something to do with the library firewall settings that even WinWget wouldn't work, that makes me wonder if it's a problem somewhere else
22:13:31 <ChrisMorgan> I really don't know. It's a weird issue whatever it is.
22:14:01 <pa_2191> yeah, thanks for the help though
22:15:20 <ChrisMorgan> You're welcome :-)
22:15:58 <pa_2191> I'd try renaming that one weird one but the computer doesn't display filename extensions so it won't let me change the extension from .exe to .html
22:16:35 <pa_2191> too bad, since I know it might shed some light on what's happening, oh well, you win some you lose some
22:17:49 <ChrisMorgan> If you can use command prompt, "ren XnViewPortable_1.97.paf.exe x.html"
22:18:22 <pa_2191> no good they disabled command prompt access too, part of their 'security measures' I guess
22:18:42 <pa_2191> anyway at least I got it finally, thanks again
