DefaultData in PortableApps.com Launcher?

Submitted by lwc on January 9, 2011 - 9:29am

Whatever I put in DefaultData does not get copied to Data. Am I supposed to manually trigger it in launcher.ini? If so, the help has nothing about this.

I did find this unlinked part in v2.1's Segments:

Settings: Management of Data\settings and copying default data from App\DefaultData to the Data directory

Hello.

I want try to portabilize "Age of Empires II" (and his expansion), for my personal use only. I know that it may need admin rights to write some keys in registry, but I don't care about it. The problem is that the game install some fonts on system and I don't know if it's possible to portabilize windows fonts.
Is that possible using PortableApps Launcher?

PAL and Source Code

Is there a way to get the PortableApps Launcher to generate a nsi file?

I have an old program I am trying to make portable for myself. Everything is working great, except that for in an ini file, I need to put in the short path (i.e. PROGRA~) instead of the full path.

If the launcher could output a nsi file, I could just add the /SHORT option and re-compile, but I wasn't sure if this was even possible.
