I have created my first portable app.
everything seems to work ok but as soon as I compile the script the appName.exe (in my case 'tuxguitarPortable.exe' is not included.
when I install it to the menu it doesn't work and when I extract the content of the installer I only get the 3 folders 'App', 'Data', and "other".
and when I copy the appname.exe in the root folder it works...
howcome the launcher is not included when compiled...
please help me out
thanks in advance
so far I have
TuxGuitarPortable.exe >> the compiled TuxGuitarPortable.nsi

when I rightClick the Other\Source\PortableApps.comInstaller.nsi file and click on compile NSIS script, it compiles everything but the TuxGuitarPortable.exe.
when I install the TuxGuitarPortable.paf.exe to the PortableApps Launcher I can't launch it. it shows in the menu but it doesn't launch tuxguitar.
when I copy the TuxGuitarPortable.exe into the PortableApps\TuxGuitarPortable folder on my usb key it works...
howcome the main executable is missing from the TuxGuitarPortable.paf.exe?
did I miss anything in the PortableApps.comInstallerConfig.nsh?
did I misplace the TuxGuitarPortable.exe?
help is much appreciated.
