The Portable Freeware Collection Forums

this is my first post, hope to do everything fine

http://cdexos.sourceforge.net/download.html at the moment you can download just the plain .exe installer

TPFC: http://www.portablefreeware.com/index.php?id=275 is on V1.51

V1.70 Beta 2 is available.
Download: http://cdexos.sourceforge.net/?q=download

Despite being Beta its very stable since it's been around for 2/3 years.

V1.70 Beta 3 is available

his version features a new hybrid installation approach. The installer includes the new 1.70 Beta 3 version
with many updates, but also the old Beta 2 Unicode and Non Unicode releases.

*Reverted database back to V1.70 Beta 2 seems to be a problem with the installer!

Definitely not a fan of the new installer method!
They should bring back the .ZIP package.

The database has been changed? I had a look at CDEx's forum and found this http://sourceforge.net/projects/cdexos/ ... ic/3459680, seems people are having problems with the new update! Hence why I reverted the entry back to beta 2 after testing. I agree the .ZIP format is much easier than have to Universal Extract.

hi
but http://www.portablefreeware.com/index.php?id=275
is really stealth ?
because under w7 it left

LocalCDDB\
CDex.ini
Default.prf.ini

in AppData\Local\CDex\

Adding a note about the adware in the install version.

Sigh.

I've been trying a bunch of different tricks to get around this but:

• Various command line tricks aren't working, help file is useless
• Dev's discussion forums up on the website and under sourceforge aren't working

This is why devs gotta just post a damn email address.

Anyway, my guess is I've gotta switch this over to the PortableApps version (WinPenPack is a little old). Suggestions?

Any issues with this path?

hi
even the amazing cdex is malware parade
can't believe , it's open source ,included with malware

https://cdex.mu/download
https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/3be ... /detection

According to my research it's an adware bundler, which is not the same as malware but might as well be. Anyway, that's really unfortunate. Another major project in the past few weeks with a terrible VT rating is bad for everyone. Anyway, I ran a check on the various different files that are put out by this project (below).

The second one is the download we're pointing to. The one with a high VT rating is the newest installer in bold and in red. I'll add a note to the entry so no one gets confused. Thanks for catching that.
