I have put together a toolkit for making portable applications. This is for people who don't like NSIS and perfer AutoIt. It includes a code template for a launcher and a compressor script to compress a directory.
Supported formats for compression
- EXE -- UPX
- HTML -- Absolute HTML Compressor
- ZIP -- 7-Zip
- PNG -- Optipng
To add your own compression format simply create a new batch file in the helpers directory.
To enable pngout support download pngout to a folder under helpers name pngout. Open png.bat and uncomment the line of code.
Except for the third-party programs, this is released under the MIT License.

Don't know much about AutoIt, but with NSISPortable and the template files in the forums its stupid simple to make a launcher.
I started on a template that makes it even easier, just fill in the exe name and app name. Open NSISPortable and click file "Load Script"

Shall I host it for the so you have a more permanent host?
My site is benjaminsgames.drivehq.com but will soon be benjaminsgames.tk once I get it set up correctly. I don't have a portable apps page yet. but I shall put a temporary link on this post for everyone else.
EDIT: Here is the link: Portable Toolkit Beta 1.0

You can use mine anytime you want (I have 1GB of space and I think unlimited Bandwidth). Maybe we can do a mirror system.

Well, my portable applications are bandwidth suckers. (I have 10GB in my plan.) If you really have unlimited bw that would be great, but otherwise I think I will be OK with mediafire sence they don't delete files.

Really I never new that mediafire didn't delete there files. I thought all of them did.
