Draftsight is not open source so it cannot be distributed in PAF. I made myself a launcher using the PAF NSIS template though. I have no idea if it conforms to the PAF format as I don't use the PA menu app, whatever it's called.
It copies the relevant user directories and registry entries back and forth. The only problem is getting the Draftsight files, I install it in Sandboxie then copy the application directory. It's even harder doing an upgrade, I have to do a file compare and make sure my profile is in the correct place.
Reply if you want me to zip my launcher and put it somewhere where you can download it.
Could you possibly send me the launcher?
Not without contact information. I can give you a download location though:

I have rewritten my launcher in the new format, this works with v8.0.3.30147 of DraftSight, I'm not sure if this is the current version.
You will have to copy the DraftSight files into the App\DraftSight directory so that the executable is App\DraftSight\bin\DraftSight.exe
I also removed the DraftSight icon from appicon.ico and recompiled with the default, just to make sure I'm not distributing any copyright material, so if you want the correct icon, you will need to extract and recompile yourself.
I couldn't get "QtKeysCleanup" to work in the launcher INI so I'm using "RegistryCleanupForce" to remove the Trolltech keys.

Sorry, didn't see that particular forum rule.
I have just put it up on Bitbucket anyway.
Edit: What's up with the forum, I can't edit my post, it just says "Access Denied". Well, here's the Bitbucket link:

Could a mod delete the link in my previous post. The whole idea of using an obfuscated URL was so that scrapers/bots wouldn't see it.
You can't edit a post once someone has replied to it.
URL shorteners won't stop bots from seeing it. If they care at all, they'll work out what it is. Well-behaved bots will not follow the link anyway because the links are marked to be not followed by bots.

Thanks for the upload, works fine with the latest version of draftsight.
