How can i get a launcher?

Hi,

I read all the documentation, installed nsis, created the directory structure, having an app that can run without installation, editted the "PortableApps.comInstallerConfig.nsh", did right mouse button on the nsi project file and it created the AppNamePortable.paf.exe file for me. That went all fine. After the install of AppNamePortable.paf.exe on the usb stick there's no launcher at all. How can i create the program launcher? The one that's need to be placed with the dir's Apps, Data, Other. Or do in need to create the launcher myself for ex. in C#.

Thx in advance

Look in the other .nsi example file

Look in the ..\Other\Source directory of any of the newer official apps for the other .nsi file you need to code up to make a launcher in NSIS. It'll produce an exe file when compiled (the launcher).

GIMPPortable example is ..\Other\Source\GIMPPortable.nsi

The new system appears to use .nsh files for languages too so take that into account. (Educated guess based on the names of the files, but I actually haven't coded a launcher using the new setup myself)
