RunApp (DotNET based portable launcher)

[Midas]

RunApp (https://github.com/futurist/runapp) may well be a worthy addition for the portability aficionado toolkit; I haven't tested it extensively, but the potential is clearly visible.

The only snag is its dependency of the most recent DotNET framework (currently v4.7.2).

[RunApp:] Run windows application using config file, instead of shortcuts.
[...]
Usage: the executable 'runapp.exe' read all configs from file 'config.arg'...

@ https://github.com/futurist/runapp

RunApp passes parameters to an executable or script and obeys only 4 meta commands:

:style: -- execution window can be normal, hidden, minimized or maximized;
:dir: -- working folder, either absolute or relative path;
ːshell: -- use shellExec, either true or false;
:window: -- create windows, either true or false.
