General Questions (Free Home Updater) / "Portable" apps
November 22, 2024, 04:15:41 PM
When PatchMyPC says "portable" apps, I assume that means a program that has no installation program with it? To "install" it, you just copy/paste it into a folder where you want it? This also means it doesn't need to consult the registry? Right?

I have a few programs like that. I put them in a folder called "Stand-Alone", and each program has its own folder under "Stand-Alone". How do I get PatchMyPC to recognize those programs? By default, it seems to be creating a folder on my Desktop called "PortableApps". I tried changing this to my "Stand-Alone" folder. But so far, PatchMyPC is not verifying any of my portable apps.

I am new at using PatchMyPC, so I am trying to find my way around.
