I wanted to make Peerblock work with my portable apps platform and I thought I would look into making it myself. Peerblock already has a portable version (but it can't go into the platform) and doesn't appear to be written in Java or .NET so I thought this would at least be a little easier.
I looked at the "Guerilla" guide on making portable apps, but I am confused about what to use the programs for. I took regshots and compared them, but because there was really no setup there didn't appear to be any problems with the registry. I don't know where to go from here. I think I need to edit NSIS or something, or get a base launcher (or something 
).
Can anyone point me in the right direction? Or am I in over my head?

How about a link or website for this program?

They have some portable versions already, what platform are you using?

There's this awesome feature in Firefox, if Google is your selected search engine, you can just highlight something, right-click the selection, and choose "Search Google for...". This works with any search provider, but Google's the one you want. It's a lot faster than asking for a website; I bet if I googled Peerblock it would be the first result.
That said, I'm not so sure a portable version would be a good idea. I think it would be better to use the block lists it utilizes in the portable version of the p2p program you want (e.g. uTorrent). I am not sure if that is possible for all p2p apps, though.
I've never heard of a p2p app that had a blocklist feature. But, I haven't been big on downloading anything for the past few years, so who knows.

One never stops learning. Thank you for this really helpful little hint, NathanJ79! I’ve been using FF ever since but never realized it has that helpful function. Much appreciated!
I'm using windows xp 32 bit.
I would use the utorrent blocklist feature, but I trust PeerBlock more and itupdates automatically from the same place as PG2.
It's basically a continuation of PeerGuardian 2.
Is this still worked on? Now that we have µTorrent Portable, it might be a good idea to have PeerBlock Portable, too. I reckon that Admin rights might be needed due to some driver installation stuff?
