![]() ![]() I used Patch My PC to download the latest AdwCleaner v8.4.0 to my default download location (E:\Portable\AdwCleaner.exe). My initial scan with Patch My PC listed two available updates in the right panel of current programs for Microsoft C++ Redistributables (red text) but did not detect the outdated AdwCleaner.exe v7.4.2, even though the list of supported app in the left panel showed that AdwCleaner v8.4.0 was available for download (black text). After changing my download folder for Portable apps from the default (which I recall was C:\Users\\Desktop\Portable Apps) to E:\Portable on my removable USB stick, I copied an outdated version of AdwCleaner v7.4.2 to a subfolder on my removable USB stick at E:\Portable\AdwCleaner 7_4_2\AdwCleaner.exe and insured it ran correctly and prompted me to update to v8.4.0, which I declined. See my 0 topic How to Check Portable Apps on Removable USB Stick for Available Updates? and my 0 feature request Request for Additional Software and Detection of Portable Apps (vs SUMo) in the Patch My PC forum for further information. I've only done limited testing so I'm not sure if that's how Patch My PC behaves on my system with Portable apps, but it definitely does not track the version number of the executable correctly. ![]()
