00:38:23 <rob> can anyone tell me how you set up the downloaded software to use it on a flash drive (the download and setup will be done on a mac, but the flash drive will be used on a PC). No PC on hand to do setup

17:25:54 <Drewbie13> Hey
17:26:11 <Drewbie13> I need to report an portable app that is broken
17:28:25 <GordCaswell> Sure , which app, and broken how?
17:30:36 <Drewbie13> Open Office and the installer fails. It says it can't read files from the installer
17:32:14 <GordCaswell> Can you take a screenshot, so I can see what you mean?
17:32:41 <Drewbie13> sure
17:37:10 <Drewbie13> Sigh
17:37:20 <Drewbie13> It decided it wanted to work out of the blue
17:37:33 <GordCaswell> Glad it worked for you :)
17:37:47 <Drewbie13> How typical... You go to tech support and it works
17:39:18 <GordCaswell> That's how tech support works ;)
17:40:43 <Drewbie13> man I guess haha.

21:53:27 <iiidefconiii> Hi All
21:55:21 <iiidefconiii> I have a question, i downloaded office offcat and set it in a folder, but it doesnt show up in portable apps menu when i refresh, the map structure is simulair to all my other folders and apps which are in the menu. Also *.reg key doesnt show up, id checked the show hidden files option, but it just dont see that files. the offcat is an msi package but other msi packages are shown, any ideas?
22:00:26 <Gizmokid2005> iiidefconiii: you downloaded what?
22:00:56 *** IIIdefconIII_ (~IIIdefcon@178-84-66-49.dynamic.upc.nl) has joined #portableapps
22:01:27 <iiidefconiii> offcat
22:01:49 <iiidefconiii> its and office diagnostics tools which i often have to use on the workstation of our costumers
22:02:22 <Gizmokid2005> iiidefconiii: http://portableapps.com/support/platform#addingotherapps
22:02:27 <Gizmokid2005> that's all the support there really is there.
22:03:05 <IIIdefconIII_> its just strange, all apps works exacpt for this app and .*reg key files
22:03:21 <IIIdefconIII_> myabe a bug or something the devs can look into?
22:03:23 <Gizmokid2005> The platform only looks for executables
22:03:26 <Gizmokid2005> ie - exe files
22:03:46 <Gizmokid2005> and is that app's executable in X:\Platform\OfficeCat\OfficeCat.exe?
22:03:51 <IIIdefconIII_> ok so thats the reason
22:03:59 <IIIdefconIII_> i tought there were other msi files but their aint
22:04:01 <Gizmokid2005> where X: is your drive and X:\Platform is the root of your portableapps install.
22:04:02 <IIIdefconIII_> why this limitatio?
22:04:25 <IIIdefconIII_> limitation
22:04:35 <IIIdefconIII_> sry i got adhd typing to fast sometimes xD
22:04:38 <Gizmokid2005> What other files should the platform look at?
22:04:55 <IIIdefconIII_> *.msi and *.reg
22:05:01 <Gizmokid2005> msi are installers
22:05:08 <IIIdefconIII_> cause i also use portablle apps for installers
22:05:08 <Gizmokid2005> there's no reason the platform should look for installers
22:05:21 <Gizmokid2005> and reg files are only for modifying the registry, so there's no reason for those either.
22:05:22 <IIIdefconIII_> i have a few std apps we install on clients pc
22:05:27 <Gizmokid2005> the platform menu is meant to launch apps
22:05:34 <Gizmokid2005> not to run installers/registry edits
22:05:39 <IIIdefconIII_> and which this supported in that it would be much niceler
22:06:06 <Gizmokid2005> The menu is all about launching the portable applications that are installed on the drive

22:24:06 <Gizmokid2005> There's only one dev for the menu who doesn't really hang out here anymore. I was a dev who portablized some apps a while ago, yes.
22:24:23 <IIIdefconIII> so the project died? a bit..
22:24:31 <Gizmokid2005> Nope, the project is definitely alive and well
22:24:36 <IIIdefconIII> cool
22:24:55 <IIIdefconIII> can you point me to a user name where i can add this kind off request/
22:25:25 <Gizmokid2005> IIIdefconIII: http://portableapps.com/forums
22:26:00 <IIIdefconIII> the devs looking at the forums? mostly on forums you wont get a update and need to have a straight line to the devs instead
22:26:12 <Gizmokid2005> This project the devs live in the forums.
22:26:20 <IIIdefconIII> cool
22:26:27 <IIIdefconIII> will defintly post a request soon then
22:26:54 <IIIdefconIII> thank you for youre kindniss and you really anwsered all my open question about this portableapps
22:27:06 <IIIdefconIII> so i understand you stopped conver apps to portable once?
22:27:07 <Gizmokid2005> No problem
22:27:08 <IIIdefconIII> how come?
22:27:33 <Gizmokid2005> The ones I converted were because they hadn't been yet and I wanted to bring them with me. The other apps I use are already portable.
22:27:40 <Gizmokid2005> So no need to do any more.
22:27:47 <Gizmokid2005> *anymore
22:28:04 <IIIdefconIII> ok
