Well...

First check out the DEVELOPMENT link at the top of the page. Then, as all the Apps here are based on running a NSIS Launcher to take care of the settings, it would be good to "learn" NSIS. I did that by examining Johns Launchers and checking the NSIS command manual.

There are also

several templates here which could ease the NSIS part of it.
Mainly you have to gather information: Which files are create, which registry keys are used etc...
And as each application is different there is no general rule. But as I said look at some templates, this might help..
