I'm having trouble with saving the appdata for IMVU, the way i currently handle it seems to only work on Windows Vista, when i tested it on an XP with a local install of IMVU it deleted the host appdata and didn't copy the one it saved in the Data directory.
my current code can be found here and is based on 7-Zip portable
this is the first launcher i have worked on and i think i may need to use the AppDataRedirect script but i don't know how to use it, can anyone help please?

Sorry you didn't catch me in IRC, I saw you in the logs though
The way you have it has a problem or two.
In between lines 178 and 179: you'd need a
CreateDirectory $APPDATA\IMVU, as you've renamed the one which was there, so you need to create it so that you can copy to it.Line 233: $APPDATA\IMVU\PruductFiles - is the typo there from the IMVU developers or you?
Other than that, it seems to me that it should work.
As to using my APPDATA Redirect Script, please use Inkscape Portable 0.46 Pre-Release 1 and the help at the top of AppDataRedirect.nsh as guidelines. I think that this app should be a valid use case, as it shouldn't use the Desktop or anything like that which you want to remain unaltered for the user (that's a caveat with it which may make it not the best choice sometimes.) If you still have questions after trying that, then come back here or to IRC when I'm there... like NOW!
