The Portable Freeware Collection Forums

Whichever unwanted offer is bundled with the installer now consistently crashes said installer on my computer, unless I completely unplug the computer from the network before launching the installer. I love the program on principle, but that kind of garbage behavior makes it difficult to support the...

I redownloaded a fourth time and got a valid file this time. The file’s size didn’t change between downloads, but this time I used an integrity check. It works now.

I didn't have problems with the portable version either, but after three different tries on two different computers, I cannot seem to be able to install the non-portable version. Something about a corrupted file ( liboffice1.cab , I think). I was wondering whether the problem came from the original ...

First thing to check: did you follow the instructions in the How to extract section of the entry? Those are the steps you need to take to make the original FileZilla portable, after all.
