ATanks portable help!

I need your comments on this...

I'm doing the launcher for Atomic Tanks (http://atanks.sourceforge.net/) using pkeffect's mIRC launcher (based on John's nsi, and SmithTech) and with a splashscreen from NeoRame... everything looks ok but when I double click on ATanks Portable it shows a screen saying "atanks.exe not found"

I think the error is here: !define EXE "$EXEDIR\ATanks\atanks.exe"

The structure is this:

ATanks Portable (with Launcher)
ATanks (with exe)

What I did wrong?

Note: remember I'm a Veterinarian not a programmer, this is just my third (and a little bit more complicated) launcher... I mean, I don't know what the *** I'm doing... Blum

Thanks in advance!

Directory structure needs to

Directory structure needs to be .\ATanksPortable\App\ATanks\atanks.exe so set that up and fix the paths in the launcher.

Hey! this will be my first "shareable" Portabilized App... Biggrin

(The other two weren't open source... mIRC and CCleaner)

If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port,
and the bus is interrupted as a very last resort,
and the address of the memory makes your floppy disk abort,
then the socket packet pocket has an error to report Biggrin

after

more than two months try to make this thing work on PApps format I couldn't do it Sad

So I quit Sad

Anyone who can do it??? Sad

ATanks is already portable, just need the paf format.

The problem is that when I click on the launcher I did it produces an error or just do nothing...

I took an original NeoRame splash screen and edited (inserted the ATanks icon on it)

I also gave a whirl at

creating a launcher for it, but all mine ended up doing was open and immediately closing a dos box.
