Error in compiling launcher

Please excuse my ignorance. I have read the portable apps guides and modified the sumatra app to make my portable app.

I was not sure where to place the applauncher nsi so I put it at the same level as the "app", "data" and "other" folders. In the App folder I have placed \App\AppInfo\appicon.ico. The NSIS compiler produced the following error:

Icon: "..\..\App\AppInfo\appicon.ico"
Error while loading icon from "..\..\App\AppInfo\appicon.ico": can't open file

Do I need to locate the NSI file elsewhere for it to be recognised?

I've used the signs name, polarity, element, planet, symbol, date and favorite color.
But there are many different informations, can't swear that everything is correct.

Changing the Logo

Submitted by maoanz on July 4, 2008 - 9:07am

Hi, I have downloaded a version of PAM on http://portableapps.xrx.ca/
which has more options.
I saw that the logo is slightly different from the original one.
I want to know if it's possible to change the logo easily or
we need to recompile the source code of PAM.
I have a look of the code, absolutely no idea what language it uses.
I saw in the other post, that it's written in Delphi, is it right?

Thanks

Portable Wallpaper Changer

Submitted by Isaac Waller on July 4, 2008 - 1:09am

This program changes your wallpaper to a bitmap. It is useful if you have it start up every time you plugin your flash drive.

Command line:
Change.exe (filename) OR /back
(filename) = A filename of a file to set your background to.
/back = Sets the background to what it was before you changed it last.

To have it start up every time you plugin your flash drive, you can use my other program USBStart (https://portableapps.com/node/14315).
1. Download "Change.exe" and place it in PortableApps\WallpaperChanger\App.
2. Add this to before #EJECT in your Autostart.ini file:
