Forgive me if this has been posted already but I can't seem to find any detailed instructions whatsoever. I have found bits and pieces here and there, but nothing that helps me from start to finish.
I have an application that I want to make portable. It is freeware and I have the .exe for it. I also have installed the portableapps launcher and NSIS portable. I am stuck at trying to create the application portable.
Can anyone please help me with this? I would really appreciate it.
Thank you,

As a quick tip, you should have all of the following installed (to make it easy to get your app working and get it posted):NSISPortable
AppCompactor
Installer
Launcher
winMd5SumPortable
Then take a look at this and this for general ideas on how to get started. When in doubt, look here if you get stuck. Good luck on your development.
I completely forgot this existed. Take a look there. It's much more comprehensive.
PS: Don't worry if it doesn't click the first time around making the app, I started out similarly to you.
U can try thinaap or boxedapp. There is an excellent video on YouTube
No, sandboxing is really taking a sledgehammer to crack a nut.
Good practices are a better solution than that, and a far less demanding one performance-wise.
If at first you do not succeed, use more sticky tape.
Good advice! I'm also trying to create a portable application
