OK, I decided to try my hand at the wizardry of making a portable app. I really want to do Deus Ex (game) but figured I'd start small, or smaller. It was suggested I start with DVDFab Decrypter since it's a bit smaller of a project. I don't use the program but figured, why not. Somebody else wants it and, based on what it says it does, I guess it'll be useful to some people.

Alright, so I got the portable NIS editor, NSIS and the two recommended plugins, Regshot, and a couple other utilities.

I ran RegShot and had it look at the C drive and took the 1st shot.

NSIS 2.44 Windows 7 Patch 1 by PortableApps.com

This patch is no longer necessary with NSIS 2.45 and up

I have posted a patch for NSIS which fixes the issue in the upcoming Windows 7 Release Candidate (as well as build 7057 / 7068 / 7077 which were leaked early) where it would trigger a Program Compatibility Assistant warning. Only makensis.exe is altered... just replace it in the NSIS program directory. The updated manifest.cpp is included so you can build it yourself, too.
