portableapps uses NSIS (NullSoft Scriptable Installer System). i use autoit. the second link is a howto.

You could even just use a batch file. I usually do out of shear lazyness.

There's a program on the site called JauntePE, but it's a little hard to use. Good luck!

from their web site: "the product is free to download, use, and distribute"

no, read this. in short open source means that the source code for the program(s) is available also.

Have a read of this article: http://portableapps.com/development

Also check out the Portable Application Template: http://portableapps.com/node/6709

It is essentially an NSIS script that has already done all the hard work for you, you just need to change a few variables. If you can't manage that, you really shouldn't be trying to develop portable applications.
