@DarkCapital

Why is it so difficult ? . Long and I didn't like it . It is a portable program that is supposed to transfer flash

I also think it should be like this....

But the official whataspp has created more and more difficulties to avoid hacking and that includes imposing restrictions on the creation of the portable version...

It's not the fault of whoever created the portable app, but of Zuckeberg's company...

Can you try the artifact available at https://github.com/portapps/whatsapp-portable/actions/runs/2093325874 and let me know?

@crazy-max - sounds like the PR worked from the comments? but can't access the artefact now. is it ready to merge?

from whatsapp-portable.

Any update on merging the PR?

from whatsapp-portable.

Here's a temporary fix !

1. Go to the official Whatsapp install folder AppData\Local\WhatsApp\app-2.2134.10 and copy "resources" folder.

2. Past or replace the resources folder that you copied into the Portable installation whatsapp-portable-win64-2.2132.6-31\app\app-2.2132.6

3. Enjoy !

from whatsapp-portable.

I downloaded the last working version 2.2123.7-30 and copied not only resources but the whole folder.
In my case whatsapp was installed from the Microsoft Store and its location was under C:\Program Files\WindowsApps (hidden folder). So working now.

Other than that, It seems the app is unable to update itself, stuck in an infite loop while trying. Is this a confirmed issue?

from whatsapp-portable.

Ok found the issue. Looks like this error is triggered when there is a new update available.

from whatsapp-portable.

I have made a completely clean install.......... first try to run whatsapp-portable.exe and it's not works.

I have look the suggested temporary fix but it's say to install the official version.... if i install it the portable setup it's be optional :)

EDIT
The actual Whatsappsetup from official site it's contain a version "WhatsApp-2.2144.11-full.nupkg".
You can obtain this file (apparently it's a basic zip file) if you extract the official setup whit a tools like "Universal Extractor".

Apparently all files it's be located here (after extraction):
\WhatsAppSetup\WhatsApp-2.2144.11-full\lib\net45

I have tryed to copy all this files to whatsapp-portable\app\app-2.2134.10..... but it's not works.

from whatsapp-portable.

Download https://github.com/portapps/whatsapp-portable/releases/tag/2.2134.10-32 and install
Delete resource folder in "Portable whatsapp\app\app-2.2134.10"

1. Download last official whatsapp build: https://web.whatsapp.com/desktop/windows/ "win8 64-bit works in windows 10 too"
2. 7-zip right click Extract WhatsAppSetup.exe
3. Enter in extracted WhatsAppSetup folder
4. 7-zip right click Extract "WhatsApp-2.2147.16-full.nupkg"
5. Enter in extracted WhatsApp-2.2147.16-full\lib\net45
6. Copy "resources" folder
7. Paste in to Portable whatsapp\app\app-2.2134.10
8. Run whatsapp-portable.exe
   Works great for me!
   thank you @caspertone2003

from whatsapp-portable.

@hurameshe it's the same way i do... apparently for me it's not works..... DOH :(

EDIT
Also.... apparently your report link for official WA build it's not anymore valid...... apparently now it's here:
https://web.whatsapp.com/desktop/windows/release/x64/WhatsAppSetup.exe

from whatsapp-portable.

I follow the step above and I am now able to open the app, but I can't find voice call and video call on the app, anyone experiencing same thing?

from whatsapp-portable.

Can you try the artifact available at https://github.com/portapps/whatsapp-portable/actions/runs/2093325874 and let me know?

Works a treat!
Unzipped, local installed, go go go ...

I am not sure if it was just a local quirk, I had to authenticate twice with the mobile app.

Thanks for keeping portapss WA portable alive and kicking!!

Wow the 2.2210.9-33 version included seems to work fine also here. Even two instances in the same Windows!
Double QR Scan/Login seems to be a new "WhatsApp for Desktop feature".
By one test QR Scan/Login was not necessary with every startup, which was a problem in Portables from other sources.
So I would be happy if Meta/WhatsApp would allow this to run for some months.
Thx @crazy-max

@crazy-max

Hi,
workaround portable version (from https://github.com/portapps/whatsapp-portable/actions/runs/2093325874 )
stopped to work (besides, it is not available anymore)

#50 is not providing a release .exe file

Are we orphan?
stand off? dead-project?

TIA

Hi the artefact for 2.2210.9 is expired now - does anyone have the artifact file from https://github.com/portapps/whatsapp-portable/actions/runs/2093325874

You can fork the repo and build from update branch.
I built one: https://github.com/LiberiFatali/whatsapp-portable/actions/runs/4954227617

from whatsapp-portable.

@caspertone2003

1. Fistly, you need to fork the repo (see the below image)
   

2. Then go to Action -> build -> Run workflow and choose "update" branch

Same here.
Installed also in a fresh Virtual Machine. No go.

Same here (using Windows 10 Pro):

Unfortunately same here....

does not work, same java error as before

from whatsapp-portable.

The latest update from crazy-max 2.2134.10-32 didn't work for me either, I had to do the same fix I showed earlier !

from whatsapp-portable.

For me the WA=WorkAround ;-) works, but had to delete the "resources" folder installed by WWA-portable before (don´t understand why but that was so..., perhaps I had any remnant o previous malfunction, or I had to re-run the .exe twice for it to work. So, if it does not work at first copy/overwrite, try it)

Here's a temporary fix !

1. Go to the official Whatsapp install folder _`AppData\Local\WhatsApp\app-2.2134.10`_ and copy "resources" folder.

2. Past or replace the resources folder that you copied into the Portable installation _`whatsapp-portable-win64-2.2132.6-31\app\app-2.2132.6`_

3. Enjoy !

from whatsapp-portable.

Same problem. Just waiting for fix 🙏

from whatsapp-portable.

• I confirm the problem.
• Is there currently a working version. The version I had (app-2.2049.8) forced an update.. but this seems not be working as it keeps "updating"

from whatsapp-portable.

@stenootje try #42 (comment)

from whatsapp-portable.

SAME issue here.

I also had the same issue as @caspertone2003, and had to completely DELETE the resources folder BEFORE copying over the other one.

Too bad we can't simply pass in something like updates=0 in the shortcut. That would be MUCH simpler.

Привет!

У меня все та же проблема с 2.2134.10-32 как и у бевора. Я уже изменил папку для хранения WhatsApp, но та же проблема возникает снова.

You can fork the repo and build from update branch. I built one: https://github.com/LiberiFatali/whatsapp-portable/actions/runs/4954227617

Does this version support WhatsApp call features?

For those of us with very limited knowledge of github, besides cloning the repo, is there any change one has to do? Only build from the update branch?
I tried doing it and asked questions such as if mergin branches or mergin pull requests... I was blocked there...

TIA

Thanks a lot!

From my tests I believe one has to unmark "fork only master branch"

from whatsapp-portable.

Above work-around seems to have stopped working.
Perhaps my bad fingers or due to changes in the code that the developer introduced recently...
Pending further tests.
