I tried, PAL, freeUPX, 2 apps i made portable, 7zip. . .
I observed all of them move their data on c:\users\appdata. Even if configured on launcher.ini
[LiveMode]
copyapp=false.
And freeUPX, even running on admin rights, wont work at all, though it run.
This things did'nt happen on WinXP.

I'd guess you're running on NTFS in which case it is a permissions error. You'll need to give 'Everyone' full permissions on the drive. Right-click on the drive letter of your device in Explorer and go to properties. Select the Security tab. Click Edit. Select Everyone (or add it if not already there). Check off Full Control. Click OK. Click OK.
NTFS isn't designed for removable devices but this works around the issue.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
Im using a 4GB NTFS usb drive. I used to build a portable app on this computer then & things work well, using a different usb drive.
Do i have to always properties>security>edit>everyone each time i use a different computer? Cause me and my usb drives are very nomadic.
I was suspecting that it happened because of some windows update right before i used the computer. But, your reply probably hit it.
So this is not totally a win7 issue?
Will you prefer to reformat to FAT/FAT32 instead?
Thanks.

Just one time on one computer should do it and then the drive should work everywhere as the 'Everyone' concept is universal. This issue affects both Windows Vista and Windows 7 PCs as they treat external NTFS volumes differently than XP.

Now i may sleep.
