Okay here is what i am having problems with, im able to get the app data to save in a folder its just its not saving in my "DATA" directory, its saving in the C:\ The original program saves its data in this directory "C:\Documents and Settings\Nathan\Local Settings\Application Data" Hope that is more helpful to help solve my problem. Also my registry entries arent being deleted, is there more i have to include in the script to do it or is something wrong? Any help would be appreciated. /************************************************************************** Name: ...Portable Version: Website: Written for: NSIS 2.17 or higher (last tested with 2.30) Required plugins: NewAdvSplash, Registry, FindProc, Dialogs License: Copyright© 2008 by More informations about installation, directory structure etc. could be found at the very end of this file or in the accompanying readme.txt Portable application template created 2008 by Karl Loncarek, version 2.5.1 - 2008/01/06 The license of the template is a two clause BSD-style license.

Help With Nsis script please
Nathan,
Please edit your post so that the "pre" tages come after your comment but before your code.
It will make it easier for folks to read
i.e.:
Your Message "Okay here is what..."
pre tag open
your Code
pre tag close
Thanks,
Tim
Things have got to get better, they can't get worse, or can they?
This is frustrating, so i think im gonna stay away from portableapps.com and away from trying to figure this out until i can clear my head. So if anyone has any help please tell me how u can help me solve my problem. In the mean time ill be away working out for a few days (or a few weeks depending on how i feel) Thank You for those who help me on my question.

I hope your frustration is not from my asking you to tidy up the post, no offense was intended in anyway at all.
I just wanted to help you make your message clearer. I for one like what you are trying to do.
If I had the ability I would have fixed it for you as I have before but as this is an initial post I am unable to do so.
Don't let frustration get to you, keep going, you will find the solution I'm sure, or one of the devs will help you find it.
Feel Better
Again, I hope my suggestion was not the cause of your frustration, if it was, I sincerely Apologize.

Im frustrated because there are lots of questions that i have about NSIS but id know how people find solutions to this. Also because my other project im working on (DVDSHRINKPORTABLE) was giving me problems with the registry, so i tried a new app to see if it was just dvdshrink itself, but it appears that Ares is having problems with registry and Appdata. Also im frustrated because i cant find answers fast enough to solve my problems. (im the kind of person who wont let a problem go till it is solved or fixed) This is why I wish there was a standard Template to make portable apps, so it can limit confusion and so you dont have to go "digging" through other scripts for answers.
