Is there a manual for the PA.com Installer? I'm getting an error, and can't seem to find any documentation. Thanks..

You set an Optional set of files in the installer.ini but didn't specify any files that exist properly, so it errors when it tries to create the optional section of the installer. Likely, you didn't set any at all. Or you specified them incorrectly and it can't find them.
As a general rule, we don't usually do optional files anymore, anyway. It's only appropriate for a small subset of apps where the localization files are huge.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
I used the base OpenPuff Portable 3.30 Development Test 5. I didn't even look at the installer.ini file. So tell me, what exactly does the following do?
OptionalComponents=true
OptionalSectionDescription=Add English Help File
OptionalFile1=App\OpenPuff\html\doc\OpenPuff_Help_EN.pdf
OptionalSectionDescription=Add Italian Help File
OptionalFile1=App\OpenPuff\html\doc\OpenPuff_Help_IT.pdf
This is the fixed contents of the installer.ini file. These are the help files in PDF format. Dors this mean the PDF's are accessable from the PA.com menu?

Remove the whole installer.ini as keeping it just for some PDFs isn't what it's designed for.

Ok, thanks John...
