It might be a bug with chrome itself if that happened. If it didn't run the first time, well, I can't help you then either, sorry. If it didn't, then that sucks a little bit less because we know it wasn't the launcher. Did it work? If it did, well, then that sucks because then it is a path problem. Now create the Data folder again by right-clicking -> New Folder
#Chrome apps not working portable
Now, make sure GoogleChromePortable.exe isn't running (check the task manager or use Daphne Portable if you don't have admin rights) and delete the GoogleChromePortable\Data folder. Did it work? If it did, then say what you did, ifnot, then continue: Now copy the GoogleChromePortable folder somewhere else, again it doesn't matter where, just not in the same place it was before.
#Chrome apps not working install
Install it into any folder (My Documents, Desktop, PortableApps, whatever).
Any other use for complex apps like a browser are not guaranteed to work.ĭownload a fresh copy of the latest non-beta version of chrome. So install it on a removable drive formated to fat32, stick it into any computer and things should work. The chrome is not any kind of finished product itself, so I am not surprised when some parts fail to operate and block the rest of the software when you move it. This can also happen with your chrome, it might contain components which once set up can not be changed. After you copy firefox, 90 percent of the extensions will not work and dpending on extension, firefox portable may also stop work completely. You might have experience that some apps do work after copying them, yes, but when it comes to apps which use or need other parts like extensions to mozilla products, this will become complex. By this use, only the drive letter does change, but in order to enable the app to work, the path will be then updated internally with this new drive letter.
The intended use is to install the apps on an usb flash stick and run them from any computer. The task of the creators of the portable apps is to kind of mimic the original installation with registry and all the rest in a way that at least personal data are not left after the use on the host computer.
Unfortunately, most of current windows apps run this way. Such apps can be copied where ever.īut you have to understand, that portable apps in the context meant here, are just normal windows apps, using under normal circumstances number of registry entries only to be able to operate, they need lot of windows system components and they are not able to run just alone. Sure, there are some apps, made only from one single exe, they run with minimum additional components of windows etc.
