OK. What I'm having trouble with is I have apps that I've made portable by registering certain files (dll, drv,etc.) with a batch file. I also use the batch file to call the program that I'm wanting to run. (When the program is closed then the files are then unregistered).
I know that the Portable Apps Menu will not recognize batch files, so I use a batch-to-exe converter. I can run the batch file by itself and it will run fine. However, when I run it from the portable apps menu it says that it cannot find the the location of the file that I'm wanting to run.
*I have the batch file setup to locate files in relative folders rather than exact locations, because the drive letter changes according to what computer I am using.
Does anyone know a way to correct this?
Thank you in advance,
Brandon

You have the latest beta of the menu?
Because your problem seems to be the "worlḱing directory problem" to me. Only it beta2, the working dir of each exe is actually the folder it is located. Some exes require this. So try downgrading the menu.

I've tried it with both releases, and I still haven't had any luck. They both give me the same problem.
Thanks though
Before the line that starts the program, put cd \{folder app is in}
that seems to work, however when I try to change the app icon (using a resource hacker) it gives me an error.
