Hi.
I'm trying to add a new launcher in Portable Apps. What I did is create a copy of the already installed PortableApps\DOSBoxPortable folder.
The new folder name is PortableApps\Lemmings, and inside that new folder I renamed DOSBoxPortable.exe into Lemmings.exe.
Then, I edited PortableApps\Lemmings\Data\settings\dosbox.conf to add :
[autoexec] # Lines in this section will be run at startup. mount c \dos_apps c: c:\lemmings\vgalemmings
Whenever I executes Lemmings.exe directly from the regular Windows Explorer (double click or right click > Open), it works as expected by starting DOSBox and then executing vgalemmings.exe straight away.
But for some reason it doesn't work when I try to start it from the PortableApps menu. Initially I had a second "DOSBox Portable" entry instead of "Lemmings", and it didn't work (nothing happened when I clicked on it). I renamed the menu entry into Lemmings (right click on menu item > Rename), but it still doesn't work.
Is there a manual way to add a custom App to the PortableApps menu? Any configuration file I could modify to make sure my Lemmings menu entry is actually linked to PortableApps\Lemmings\Lemmings.exe?
I'd appreciate any piece of advice you might have.
The menu uses appinfo.ini to know what EXE to run
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
Thank you very much.
FYI this worked for me:
F:\PortableApps\Lemmings\App\AppInfo\appinfo.ini
And I also had to modify my autoexec slightly, because the game crashes if you don't cd into the directory:
