Running "DrawioPortable.exe " doesn't open the , it is always starting with a new empty file as if no argument is passed.
Apparently "DrawioPortable.exe" command line options are ignored.

As always, everything you pass to DrawioPortable.exe is passed unaltered to draw.io.exe after any command line options. In this specific case, the included command line option of --user-data-dir="%PAL:DataDir%\Drawio". Most likely, the app itself can't handle files passed after a command line option like that. Either that or you need to pass it in quotes.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
Hi John, thanks a lot for your quickly reply! And you are right! draw.io.exe cannot open the file too.
I'm trying to reproduce the association of the .drawio extension. When I install Draw.IO (Windows Installer version), I have:
assoc => .drawio=draw.io Diagram
ftype => draw.io Diagram=C:\Program Files\draw.io\draw.io.exe "%1"
When I change to DrawioPortable.exe, the file is not opened anymore:
assoc => .drawio=draw.io Diagram
ftype => draw.io Diagram="C:\bin\PortableApps\DrawioPortable\DrawioPortable.exe" "%1"
