Dear John,

you've made a litte mistake with the new version 11 and the portable launcher won't launch the app.
With version 11 the developer changed the filenames from PDFX* to PXC*, e.g.
OLD: PDFXEdit.exe / NEW: PXCEditor.exe
OLD: PDFXEditCore.x86.dll / NEW: PXCEditorCore.x86.dll

So some information in appinfo.ini and PDF-XChangeEditorPortable.ini are not correct anymore:
appinfo.ini
Control-Section: BaseAppID=%BASELAUNCHERPATH%\App\PDFXEdit\PDFXEdit.exe
has to be: BaseAppID=%BASELAUNCHERPATH%\App\PDFXEdit\PXCEditor.exe

PDF-XChangeEditorPortable.ini
Launch-Section: ProgramExecutable=PDFXEdit\PDFXEdit.exe
has to be: ProgramExecutable=PDFXEdit\PXCEditor.exe

Greetings

addendum:
The developer provides also a x64 portable for v11.0.1, so you could integrate both architectures into one Portable Installer or make one for every architecture.
