hi

thanks for this advice but i still dont know howto

the launcher are binaries, so i have to compile them with the right icon.
and i didnt find the source of them, only the binaries inside the paf.exe files.

thanks for more details where i find a source of an launcher and how i can compile it.

i read again and tried again, but it dont work to me.
It never build a launcher.
even i learned programming in my university and i hang out a lot with linux and shell and things like this i dont understand the syntax of this nsi.
When I would do, i would really like to make some apps portable but it isnt easy.
Sad
I will use the exe out of the box and dont care if some registry entry happens on foreign pc. they are 3 i think.

thanks for try to help

if you're familiar with

if you're familiar with something different, you're more then welcome to handle the registry by using that coding language.
