Why you can't download everything at once? "We don't currently do a monolithic suite of software as there will generally be at least one app that is outdated and insecure within a day or two of releasing it. In most cases, there was a wizard dialog (click next), a dialog asking about the install location (click next) and finally a dialog that one needed to click finish on (or launch and finish). So if the only problem is the need to agree to license issues, this does not apply.
Showing the license agreements is required in our agreements with the publishers whose software we package." It needs to be stated that in all fairness only about 1/3rd of the dialogs contained license information, most were just asking where one wanted to install the app and then click install. The ability to agree to all licenses upfront for the freeware is coming in a future release. Unattended Install: "You can do an unattended install of all the open-source software and the freeware that doesn't require a license agreement at present on first run. In a further discussion, John Haller also said several things that are worthy of repeating Indeed the latest version of the Lupo Pensuite platform is dated 2016. You get updated, secure apps regardless of when you download or install. This is why the PA.c Platform downloads the latest updated apps as you decide to install them. The older versions are also smaller in the case of bigger apps. Nearly all apps have security issues due to having old versions. The old suite you're referencing includes a much smaller set of apps and is dangerously outdated. In response to one question, he indicated that other portable app platforms, such as Lupo, are less secure.
Only the creator of the Suite, John Haller, responded to my inquiries. To start out, I wanted to be sure I had the latest download of all three platforms, so I went to the website, the Lupo Pensuite website, and the Pegtop - PStart website, and downloaded the newest platform of each launcher and then installed each on a USB stick (in the case of the PortableApps suite and the Lupo Pensuite - to the same stick).ĭuring the writing of this article, I attempted to contact the developers of all three platforms to get their input. I am open to any critiques you may have, so feel free to add comments in the section below.
So I decided to do a comparison article of the 3 launchers. To my surprise, I found several items that made me lean more towards Lupo Pensuite compared to the other two (2). Finally, I ended up comparing Lupo Pensuite, PStart, and PortableApps. When I started to write this article, it was about how great PStart was as a portable launcher (that is why there is more detailed information about PStart), then it turned into a comparison of PStart and the Portable apps suite.
