Hello there! I am auctally trying to create my first PortableApp, because I am wanting to create my own Spiral Knights app. The problem is, how the heck do you create the EXE file in the main folder? I mean the [AppName]Portable.exe thing. How the heck do you create it?

Open up the help.html file inside.
You should be able to continue from there.
I now have another problem. I read the manual from the launcher (thanks!), but now this occurs: Spiral Knights requires Java in order to play, so I modify my SpiralKnightsPortable.ini file to launch javaw.exe, but now when I launch SpiralKnightsPortable.exe, it says "App/javaw.exe cannot be found." What do I do now?
It's all covered in the manual. Look at what's available from the start page; there is a section covering Java apps (I'm not going to provide a link to it in this case as it'll help you to develop the ability to find things in the manual yourself).

I know that, but something I didn't understand I meant: it says "add required, then change ProgramExecultable:javaw.exe". I didn't get that. What code does that mean?
It's all in straightforward English and says in several locations what you need to do in quite simple language. If you can't work out from that what you need to do, then quite frankly you're not ready to make portable apps yet.
I've just realised there's a mistake there, the value should be "require" rather than "force", but other than that, it's all correct.

We all start somewhere, some just need a little help to get going...
Copy and paste your launcher.ini over here, that might give a better clue as to where your trying to go...
