How to make a portable app's binary run from a deeper level folder?

I use Bibletime. Its executable is one level deeper than typical portable apps, located in PortableApps/Bibletime/bin.

How would I make the executable appear in the PA menu? I tried a simple windows shortcut but that didn't cut it.

Apologies of this has been discussed before; I searched everywhere but could not find a relevant topic.

PA.c Launcher

You can use the PA.c Launcher if you're working on something for release.

But if it's just for yourself, create an appinfo directory and then an appinfo.ini file in there and set Start=bin/name.exe or similar. You can see the structure of appinfo.ini from other apps. Be sure and include the other bits like the name.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
