Help with ScummVM Portable

I am making ScummVM Portable (if this already exists, lets say I'm updating it)

Here is my source : http://www.mediafire.com/?zwnyyjzyngu

The launcher executable is successfully made but when I run it, ScummVM wouldn't show up. If you want to test it, here are the locations of the files:

App
App\Theme
App\Games
App\Extra
App\ScummVM
All files from Install Directory goes to App\ScummVM

I believe its a game emulator

I believe its a game emulator for a certain platform or series of games. I'd have to google it to find out more, I dont remember off the top of my head.

Too many bridges you can burn
Too many tables you can't turn

MM = Maniac Mansion

All I know is (without looking it up) that the MM stands for Maniac Mansion, the game for which the engine was developed for. SCUMM isn't an emulator (that's ScummVM), it's a point-and-click adventure engine that displays conversations and internal monologues along the top, the action in the middle, followed by a grid of commands (such as Walk To, Turn On, and Use), followed by a grid of inventory items. These games were mostly (if not all) made by LucasArts in the 1980s. Maniac Mansion may have been more successful, but my favorite was Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders. Zak was previously unplayable due to a black-on-maroon printed manual that, at the time, could not be photocopied. A scan of it has since surfaced, and now the game's "read the manual" copy protection has been broken. Just search Google for classic game manuals. I shouldn't link to it, and I don't even have the link handy.

Looked it up. "Script Creation Utility [for] Maniac Mansion". Zak was the second game to use it, and it was used into the early '90s. Links for those who want to know more.

Pastebin source, mediafire is

Pastebin source, mediafire is a pain.

Check your execstring. I'm almost willing to bet some quotes got mixed up.
