02:54:25 <jm2> having an unexpected problem with the firefox 14.0.1 installer - it's requiring me to install to subdirs of c:\program files
02:55:59 <Kiriko> jm2: you should not install it in Program Files
02:56:09 <Kiriko> the portableapps should never go there
02:56:25 <jm2> When i try choosing a different directory, the installer tells me that my directory is invalid and i need to choose program files or a subdir
02:56:27 <jm2> bizarre
02:56:45 <jm2> can you install just using a zip file?
02:57:00 <jm2> i can't find any on the sourceforge project site, just these installer exes
02:57:26 <Kiriko> you should isntall it in a directory (i.e) PortableApps
02:58:08 <Kiriko> to make it more simple just download the platform and install it to C:\
02:58:18 <jm2> i don't want the platform
02:58:24 <jm2> i just want this version of firefox
02:58:54 <dbdii407> You could install it wherever it'll let you and cut the files to where they need to be.
02:58:58 <Kiriko> ok then just install it in C:\PortableApps and you should be good
02:59:33 <Kiriko> The apps have been made not to install in Program Files
02:59:38 <jm2> right, but the installer was telling me i needed to install to program files
02:59:42 <jm2> it was the most bizarre error ever
02:59:54 <jm2> anyway, i just extracted it to the default location (the desktop) and will move it to my desire dir
03:00:09 <jm2> desired*
03:00:24 <Kiriko> ok
03:03:03 <Kiriko> jm2: take a look at this http://portableapps.com/news/2012-07-24--portableapps.com-installer-3.0.4-released
03:06:18 <jm2> i'd prefer just using zip files you can extract anywhere
03:13:06 <jm2> maybe that wouldn't work for updates, though, oops
03:13:15 <Kiriko> you can use 7zip to extract the portableapps but the installer that we use is like a self extracting archive. just point it to whee you want to extract it and you are set. But the apps have been made to work in the default directory PortableApps, in wich it works best
03:13:41 <Kiriko> that is correct it does not work for updates
03:15:03 <Kiriko> if you install them in C:\PortableApps with the pplatfor your apps will be updated very easy
03:15:09 <Kiriko> platform**
03:17:19 <jm2> are you familiar with portable firefox?
03:17:34 <jm2> i'm having an issue where if i launch the app from the launcher exe, my profile loads
03:17:46 <jm2> but when i set it to default and click on links externally, a different profile is loaded
03:18:08 <jm2> when portable firefox as the default browser, i mean
03:18:54 <Kiriko> you should not use portable applications for default use
03:19:11 <jm2> oh, okay, i see that using the firefox setting causes external applications to skip the launcher
03:19:16 <jm2> which is what loads the profile stored in /data
03:19:27 <Kiriko> that is correct
03:20:38 <Kiriko> the externall apps will only use firefox as the app and not the portable launcher and that is why we have the apps installed in C:\PortableApps\ if you want them on your local machine

03:24:46 <Kiriko> nice to see you kAlug! :)
03:24:59 *** kAlug is now known as AluisioASG
03:25:31 <AluisioASG> Nice to see you too Kiriko :-)
03:26:15 <AluisioASG> So, how is it going?
03:26:30 <Kiriko> not bad
03:26:55 <Kiriko> u?
03:29:10 <jm2> is it impossible to use firefox portable as the default browser using the profile stored in the /data folder, then?
03:31:30 <Kiriko> the best that can be done is copying the profile (i.e) http://portableapps.com/support/firefox_portable#local_profile
03:31:43 <AluisioASG> jm2: You need to make the Firefox Portable launcher the default browser.
03:31:53 <AluisioASG> Kiriko: I'm great. Arrived at home from an international free software event a few hours ago.
03:32:32 <Kiriko> that sounds cool
03:32:43 <jm2> AluisioASG: do you have any tips on how to do that? i'm about to try this tool: http://www.winhelponline.com/blog/register-firefox-portable-with-default-programs-in-vista/
03:34:03 <AluisioASG> jm2: It it doesn't work, you'll need to do some Registry Hacking™ :)
03:34:38 <jm2> doesn't sound fun, and i was going to try registering a shortcut with the no-remote switch as the default browser
03:34:40 <jm2> could that work?
03:35:05 <Kiriko> i have never seen that
03:35:39 <jm2> oh, that's probably because there's no need - there's an ini setting that the launcher can use instead
03:35:40 <jm2> awesome
03:36:22 <AluisioASG> Kiriko: It was. I even participated of some workshops with the Mozilla folks. And then we have this: https://twitter.com/kAlug_/status/228575975187828736
03:37:55 <Kiriko> AluisioASG: that so cool
03:38:01 <Kiriko> ^_^
