03:59:28 <pa_5241> I've been having an issue with updating my portable apps using the updater. It will download the apps fine, but I get an access violation error when installing.
04:00:13 <pa_5241> Error is "Access violation at address 004048D7 in module 'PortableAppsPlatform.exe'. Write of address
04:00:56 <pa_5241> I then get a Stack Overflow error as well. The apps do seem to actually install, however. Any ideas or assistance is greatly appreciated.

20:36:42 <pa_4486> how do i get jportable to appear in my app download list?
20:36:51 <JohnTHaller> It doesn't.
20:37:03 <pa_4486> then how do i install it?
20:37:05 <JohnTHaller> It's an addon used by other apps like LibreOffice and OpenOffice.org
20:37:27 <JohnTHaller> You install it via the app store like everything else. Once it is installed, it won't show in the list, though.
20:37:32 <JohnTHaller> It will be auto-updated, of course
20:37:39 <pa_4486> but then how do i start it up
20:38:00 <JohnTHaller> You don't. There's nothing in it that runs on its own. Other apps use it.
20:38:06 <pa_4486> ok, thanks

20:54:12 <Ray039> hey does portableapps work on ntfs formatted flash drives or should i change it back to FAT32
20:54:29 <JohnTHaller> it works on either
20:54:36 <Ray039> ok thanks
20:54:38 <JohnTHaller> but some versions of windows don't format flast as ntfs
20:54:44 <JohnTHaller> flash, that is
20:54:59 <JohnTHaller> Windows XP sets permissions wrong so it then won't work on many Vista/7 machines
20:55:16 <Ray039> windows 7 machine formatted so should it work?
20:55:24 <JohnTHaller> It should, yes.
20:55:29 <Ray039> ok
20:55:34 <JohnTHaller> If you ever run into permissions errors, just do this:
20:56:30 <JohnTHaller> right-click the drive in Windows Explorer, select Properties, select security tab, add Everyone as a group or username and set it to Full Control
20:56:40 <JohnTHaller> It shouldn't ever come up... but just in case
