04:12:44 <pabot> Hi pa_6301! 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.
04:13:15 *** gluxon (~gluxon@unaffiliated/gluxon) has joined #portableapps
04:13:18 <pa_6301> how do i install portable apps on a school computer
04:14:18 <JohnTHaller> Usually, you install it to a flash drive you have with you. Download the platform to your desktop or anywhere else, run the installer, and install to E:\ or whatever drive letter is assigned to your drive
04:14:49 <pa_6301> can i do this on my school computer
04:15:11 <JohnTHaller> Yes, normally. The PA.c Installer requires no admin rights.
04:15:24 <JohnTHaller> You won't be installing anything to the local machine
04:15:33 <pa_6301> ok so i just put on usb
04:15:44 <JohnTHaller> Yup. Then you can carry your apps around with you.
04:16:05 <JohnTHaller> Or, if your school gives you a network drive that shows up as a drive letter when you log in, you can install to there if you want.
04:16:57 <pa_6301> ok so when i put it there how do i open
04:17:08 <JohnTHaller> You run Start.exe.
04:17:26 <JohnTHaller> From there, you can install, update, uninstall and run apps

04:18:53 <pa_6301> what if it gets blocked still
04:19:29 <JohnTHaller> Blocked how? You mean if your school prevents it from running? If so, then you won't be able to run it. Some schools will do that.
04:19:53 <pa_6301> it says path blocked
04:20:26 <JohnTHaller> What says the path is blocked. And what are you running
04:21:16 <pa_6301> windows 7 it says you cannot acess the file am trying to install 7 zip
04:22:07 <JohnTHaller> So, you have the 7-Zip Portable installer downloaded and are trying to run it?
04:22:45 <pa_6301> yes i am it not saying nlocked just saying it cant open file
04:23:05 <JohnTHaller> You could be blocked from running individual EXEs at all by school policy
04:24:13 <pa_6301> is there a way to fix this
04:25:05 <JohnTHaller> It's by design. Your school has specifically blocked it and forbidden it by policy. If that's the case, it can't be fixed by design. Unless you hack around and violate policy, which can result in bad things.
04:25:55 <pa_6301> is there no other files i can use though to get past this
04:26:13 <JohnTHaller> You should check with your school IT support to see what is allowed.
04:26:30 <JohnTHaller> If you're blocked from running EXEs at all, then that may be your answer right there
