Why in this appinfo.ini example: https://portableapps.com/development/portableapps.com_format#appinfo
it shows that the path to the icon must be like this: ExtractIcon=App\AppName\AppName.exe

But when i try to create the portable launcher it is looking for the icon file in \App\AppInfo\appicon.ico, and if it is not there it gives error and can not create the portable launcher.

Is it possible to comment out lines in launcher.ini as this is done in autohotkey scripts? In AHK script you can comment out line as you put ";" in front of the line. Is it possible something like this to be done with launcher.ini

I'm having update errors with recently updated apps, starting with Mcafee Stinger, Rufus, Task Coach, and Unetbootin.

When attempting to update from within the portable apps platform, a connection is never made and then times out with the display box stating, "Download Error: SendRequest error on file" with a redirection link to source forge with the said app in question. Also when trying to download manually from the portableapps site in hopes of updating, the page never loads for either app to be downloaded either.

I've been through most of the documentation and from my reading I should be able convert a existing opensource app into a portable app correct?

It would be very helpful if there was a practical example of taking a non-portableapp and turning into a portableapp.

The existing documentation is very detailed but its difficult to assemble it into a functional example of creating a portableapp.

If there are any functional examples out there on how to create a portable app, please point me to the right references.

Thanks!!
