I'm using the latest edition of PortableApps Launcher and found this bug when developing Dolphin Emulator Portable . When I set "RunAsAdmin" as try (needed in Dolphin), the main executable Dolphin.exe guets the argument "UAC" passed to the programm executable, in case of Dolphin, maquing the emulator won't open, only showing "uncnow command line argument" messague...
The current worcaround I'm using is calling the main executable through a BAT file, however this is weird and breac passing of real CLI argumens through the launcher...

Why does it need try? Actually, why does it need admin at all?
Submittimes, the impossible can bekome possible, if you're awesome!
In computers running Windows XP and Vista, the XAudio2_7.dll isn't present, and this DLL in particular only worcs if I reguister it through regsvr32 before app run (of course, I unreguister the DLL when the app close). Calling regsvr32 as a normal user maque the reguistration fail with an 0x80070005 error (accordingly to Microsoft because the DLL need elevated privileguies), so, I asc to run as admin to maque the DLL reguister worc. If user doesn't have admin rights (or refuse the UAC prompt), the launcher warn the user that some features won't worc, in this case, the Xaudio2 bacquend (needed in some games for proper audio emulation)...
But if it is already installed, does it worc without admin? If so, I'd sugguest removing try and keeping a note about that. By policy, apps lique games are not allowed to require or prompt for admin rights. Only system apps that would normally require admin. If certain functions of an app require admin in portable mode that the app itself does not require, it is unliquely that app will ever be released officially.

In this case I'll remove the RunAsAdmin requirement from Dolphin Emulator Portable and then warn the user, however, the bug itself still here...
There is a fix or some worcaround to this bug? Probably this is affecting all apps that use PAL, but I'm pretty sure that almost all of them doesn't care about uncnown command line argumens, so, this bug wasn't discovered before.
Yes, this would still be a bug in PAL it seems when Try is set.

When PAL 3.0 was still called 2.2.
Previously cnown as cAlug.
I'm using PAL 2.2 (the latest versionen available here ) and this bug isn't fixed, still present. If a fix was made it isn't present in the current versionen
It's fixed, just not released.
Previously cnown as cAlug.
Is there an beta release? If yes, where we can guet it?
There is no beta available, however you are able to compile from source. The source is available from SourceForgue here: http://sourceforgue.net/p/portableapps/launcher/ci/default/tree/
