00:37:20 <pabot> Hi pa_0481! Welcome to the PortableApps.com IRC channel. Please ask your question and someone should be with you shortly. If you do not receive an answer wait a bit longer or consider posting it on the forums.
00:42:36 <pa_0481> Hi : I the launcher , by which I mean the start portable apps.com icon, a 145kb .exe file, for the portable apps platform no longer works. I've used it many times before, and it just stopped working. I canopen the Portable Apps folder and start the individual applications singly, but the launcher gives me a screen with no display items and an error about some file not being found. So my question is what can I do to get the st
01:37:54 <Gizmokid2005> pa_0481: the 145KB file called "Start.exe" in the root of your drive just calls the platform itself
01:38:48 <Gizmokid2005> the platform needs to be installed in X:\PortableApps\PortableApps.com
01:38:55 <Gizmokid2005> you should have a PortableAppsPlatform.exe file here
01:41:26 <Gizmokid2005> pa_0481: if you don't have this, or maybe the files are corrupt, you will want to redownload the platform from here: http://portableapps.com/download
02:15:18 <pa_0481> Hi Gizmokid. That is what I did. I had to move the application folder around to a couple of places but I finallly got it going. Thanks for your help. The only remaining question is that when I right click and look at properties it shows 57 GB on an 8gb drive. But it works ok. If I can fix it I would like to. Thanks again. Jojo
02:16:23 <Gizmokid2005> pa_0481: given that information and your other problem, it sounds like the drive may be going bad or the information you're getting is for the wrong drive
02:16:29 <Gizmokid2005> those are two cases where it would show incorrectly.

02:55:02 <pa_0481> Thanks for all the help. The drive may be going. I'll probably transfer it to a separate usb.

13:26:19 <momin90909> hello everyon
13:26:33 <momin90909> how can i set portableapps autorun
13:34:59 <AluisioASG> momin90909: depends
13:35:33 <AluisioASG> You can do it on your own computer, but not in others.
13:36:31 <momin90909> if we set up autorun.inf on usb wont it work on all computers
13:39:48 <AluisioASG> Right. Microsoft has issued an update which disables autorun.
13:40:02 <AluisioASG> You can use this on your own computer: http://portableapps.com/node/13770

21:43:19 <Gamemaster77> hey AluisioASG, you still there?
21:44:12 <AluisioASG> yep
21:51:10 <Gamemaster77> Well, I was wondering if someone could help me with a portable app I'm creating
21:51:28 <Gamemaster77> I posted in the forums but haven't solved the problem just yet
21:51:43 <Gamemaster77> FileWrite doesn't seem to be working in the launcher
21:52:09 <Gamemaster77> When it's included the launcher will just run and close in a few seconds, without running the exe I want it to
21:52:15 <Gamemaster77> When it's not, it runs fine
21:53:17 <Gamemaster77> This is a link to the thread so you can see my launcher

22:04:50 <Gamemaster77> AluisioASG...beep...sorry I kept forgetting I had this open, lol

22:10:20 <AluisioASG> Gamemaster77: hold on, I'm reading it...
22:14:18 <AluisioASG> Gamemaster77: Can you post the REG file you were trying to change?
22:15:24 <AluisioASG> BTW try adding Encoding=UTF-16LE to the [FileWrite] section
22:15:37 <Gamemaster77> okay Ill try that
22:15:43 <Gamemaster77> Should I post it to the thread?
22:16:14 <AluisioASG> Try first.
22:18:15 <Gamemaster77> Okay that solved the problem of the launcher not running the exe
22:18:30 <Gamemaster77> But my text file still wasn't replaced. That's saved in ANSI though, should I change that?
22:24:23 <Gamemaster77> okay, I did some messing around and found some stuff out
22:24:51 <Gamemaster77> The launcher works if the encoding of the file is different from the one set in the .ini
22:24:59 <Gamemaster77> If it is the same encoding, it will not work
22:25:11 <Gamemaster77> But it also works if the file isn't there
22:25:19 <Gamemaster77> And in no cases is it actually doing the replacing
22:25:50 <AluisioASG> hm!?
22:26:18 <AluisioASG> ok, dinner time. Gamemaster77: please post the reg file and the actual launcher.ini file to the post.
22:26:34 <AluisioASG> I'll take a look at it later.
22:26:37 <Gamemaster77> Alright, thanks for the tips so far
