As in subject, I'm not able to launch any .paf.exe type file.
I think the problem is that I use a modded selfmade lite version of 2008 R1 sp2..... anyway, inspecting the paf.exe the dll imports are:
kernel32
user32
gdi32
shell32
advapi32
comctl32
ole32
In the system these files are presents, also..... the file seems to be a selfextracting 7zip because I can extract any paf.exe with 7zip but is quite annoying.
Can someone help me to find a solution for this problem? Thank you all in advantage.

The PortableApps.com Installer is a standard NSIS-based installer in terms of functionality with respect to Windows. NSIS is used by all kinds of software (Firefox local installs, for instance). If it can't run, your Windows is too heavily modded. It isn't a 7-Zip self extractor, 7-Zip merely has support for NSIS' LZMA compression setup to pull files out. It isn't so bad for an initial install, but upgrades by extracting will cause issues as the installers have logic to do things like adjust settings, move files, preserve vs remove specific app files, etc.
I'd highly suggest going back to a standard install as modded installs are more trouble than they are worth. For example, if you do a "lite" Windows install to remove Internet Explorer for instance, you break all kinds of Windows networking components which all our _online installer depend on.
If you want to know what specifically you need to add to your modded install to get NSIS working, you'd need to ask the NSIS folks.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
