00:32:02 <pa_1050> Does anyone know how to have portableapps run a .bat instead of an .exe?

02:26:41 <OliverK_> pa_1050, there's a way, but i forget
02:26:50 <OliverK_> what exactly is the goal of the bat?
02:34:58 <pa_1050> To launch an .exe with special parameters.

02:41:00 <Gizmokid2005> pa_1050: which one? Is it one of our existing applications?
02:41:26 <pa_1050> No. For a game I'm attempting to make mobile.
02:44:03 <OliverK_> why not use a NSIS wrapper - it will accomplish the same goals
02:44:22 <OliverK_> check out PNotes Portable for an example
02:44:24 <Gizmokid2005> pa_1050: ^^ If you're looking to portablize it like the rest of our apps, making an official launcher will allow you to do this
02:44:27 <Gizmokid2005> and it's quite easy to do.
02:44:50 <Gizmokid2005> pa_1050: all the information you could need is here in the "packaging portable apps" section: http://portableapps.com/development
02:52:24 <pa_1050> If I made myself to appear that I know what I am doing with any of this, I will assert that I have no knowledge of coding or programming.
02:55:05 <pa_1050> I was given a batch file that uses workarounds with directx to have it run from external drives without any requirements.
02:55:55 <pa_1050> Because I can't launch the game from the external drive without the parameters set by the batch file, the executable I have on my menu is moot.
02:59:13 <pa_1050> Honestly, if someone can point me to the file I can edit out where it points to the executable and make it launch the batch file, that would be easier for me.

03:29:57 <OliverK_> you can try editing the INI file in app\appinfo. Should work, but I'm not for sure.
