I tried everything but no success..
Firstly, I install software on computer, so installed files are at:
C:\SShop
folder.
Then I install on USB stick:
+PortableApps.comInstaller
+PortableApps.comLauncher
+PortableApps
+NSISPortable
+PortableApps.comAppCompactor
then I create:
+SimpleShopPortable
+App
+AppInfo
+FileTypeIcons
+Launcher
Splash.jpg
appicon.ico
appinfo.ini
+DefaultData
then I edit file appinfo.ini:

After that I use:
PortableApps.comInstaller.exe
from USB stick.
And the software installation is made (SimpleShopPortable_1.9.9.901.paf.exe). At first thing it looks OK (only the file size is quite small, insteed 90MB it is only 10MB), but when I install this software into X:\PortableApps\SimpleShopPortable\
I see, that there is only installed .EXE files, with no .DLL's, database (.SDF) and other must present files to work program as should it..
So where do I make mistake, so that installer do not use all project (software) files, but only .EXE.
Thank you for your help...
I'm trying to decipher your folder structure to see what could have happened. In general, you'll have:
SimpleShopPortable/ - App/ - AppInfo/ - Launcher/ - SimpleShopPortable.ini - Splash.jpg - appicon.ico - appicon_16.png - appicon_32.png - appicon_64.png - AppInfo.ini - EULA.txt - installer.ini - DefaultData/ - SShop/ - Other/ - help.html - SimpleShopPortable.exeDefaultData is only necessary when there are folders or files that need to be pre-created for things like preferences.
The appicon_xxx.png can go up to 256 (in powers of 2).
Your AppInfo.ini file looks okay, except you don't need the "ExtractIcon" (as long as the appicon.ico and appicon_xxx.png files are there) and "Start" has to be SimpleShopPortable.exe.
You should change the values under "[License]" to match your application.
Both "[SpecialPaths]" and "[Source]" sections can be removed.
The only other problems that could be posed are in the App/AppInfo/Launcher/SimpleShopPortable.ini file. This controls how the program is run and is called by SimpleShopPortable.exe (which is created by the PortableApps.comLauncher based on appinfo.ini). For more information on that file, look here.
Hopefully this points you in the right direction.
P.S. If you want to have the preformatted blocks of text like I have above, just use <pre> and </pre> around it. This will be useful for configuration files and file structures since it is easier to read.
I will try that and report it back..
Also I found some help at:
https://portableapps.com/node/29406
Yes, now all is working but remains only one problem.
PAL do job as should it, so all files are included. Also, Launcher do it's job.
But the problem is still in SimpleShopPortable.ini.
When I run app via Windows Explorer (Shell32) (so, I go to X:\SimpleShopPortable\App\SimpleShopPortable) and run SShop.exe (software startup .EXE) it's all working as should. But when I run via SimpleShopPortable.exe (X:\SimpleShopPortable) software crash after splash screen.
Do you have any idea, what is the problem?
OK...
Now after some testing etc... app is working as should..
SimpleShopPortable.ini
So now what.. what is the next step, do I publish somewhere AppName.paf.exe for public testing etc?
Thank you for support...

i have created a portable version of this software using vmware thinapp
you can email me for more info
jx.wyte@gmail.com
This app was already completed by the publisher in proper portable format. We don't permit Thinapp packages here as most are illegal.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
