[Tutorial] Build your own JPE Launcher quickly
Posted: Thu Aug 12, 2010 11:41 pm
First of all, this is not gonna work for ALL the applications you're gonna try, but in my experience it worked on about 75% of them.
1. Get the generic launcher and extract the contents using 7zip;
2. Download the application's installation kit from its official website;
3. Extract the application's files using Universal Extractor OR install the application using Sandboxie;
4. Move all the application's files directly into the "App" subfolder of the Launcher;
5. Rename "JPEPortable.exe" exactly as the application's executable;
6. Rename "Data_jauntePE.ini" as "appname_jauntePE.ini";
7. Open "appname_jauntePE.ini" ( I use Notepad2) and replace (select %appname%, hit Ctrl+H, hit Replace all button) all "%appname%" strings with the application executable name (without the .exe extension); save the changes (Ctrl+s);
8. Launch the app using the newly created JPE launcher.
note: ignore the above quotation marks
You'll need the following:
- desired application's installation kit: its homepage
- generic JPE launcher archive: http://www.mediafire.com/file/82f19iiz8 ... auncher.7z
- 7zip: http://www.portablefreeware.com/index.php?id=796
- Universal Extractor: http://www.portablefreeware.com/index.php?id=641
and/or
- Sandboxie: http://www.sandboxie.com/index.php?DownloadSandboxie
- Notepad2: http://www.portablefreeware.com/index.php?id=649
And now, a quick example: Daum PotPlayer (same author as KMPlayer and very similar app, it's portable if you use the .ini to store the settings, but not stealth)
1. get the generic launcher and extract
2. download PotPlayer
3. use UniversalExtractor to get PotPlayer's files
4. move PotPlayer's files (from $INSTDIR) to the App folder of the launcher
5. rename JPEPortable.exe to PotPlayerMini.exe
6. rename Data_jauntePE.ini to PotPlayerMini_jauntePE.ini
7. open PotPlayerMini_jauntePE.ini, select %appname%, hit Ctrl+h, hit Replace all, Ok, Close, hit Ctrl+s, close Notepad2
8. launch the player using PotPlayerMini.exe with la flash drive icon (the JPE launcher)
Not THE quickest or most RELIABLE method, but MY quick method!
Good luck!

Edit: if you are using a 64bit OS and get this error
then replace the JPE launcher from the provided Generic launcher package with this 64bit version:
x64 JPE launcher only
