Hi Volks,

i have successful portalized a Programm (TippKonigin - look my other Post)
But on little bug-thing:

Tippkonigin writes back a path in a ini-file.
It write a absolute path, looks like: Is JauntePE able to redirect this absolute path to a relative one? And if yes, how?

Tippkonigin also work with a relative path to open the file , but always save a absolute.

Thanks in advance

No.
JauntePE can redirect the absolute path but cannot convert one into relative path.

To troubleshoot this problem, again try to think like TippKonigin.
Is "Lektion_09.txt" file saved by yourselft or the program save the file by itself? (get my question? :p)

If you are the one that saving the file "Lektion_09.txt",
try save the file by browsing to "C:\Program Files\TippKonigin\Ubungen\Lektionen\Lektion_09.txt" instead. Hopefully TippKonigin will write the ini file with path "C:\Program Files\TippKonigin\Ubungen\Lektionen\Lektion_09.txt". Next time when TippKonigin read the path, it will "think" the path is exist and will load the file "Lektion_09.txt" successfully. Remember that i told you before TippKonigin got fooled by JauntePE?
Now, when playing your program, use "C:\Program Files\TippKonigin" as your relative path. Get it what i mean?
That is how portablizing through virtualization work. JauntePE cannot convert the absolute path to relative path like any nsis launcher does.

If TippKonigin save the file "Lektion_09.txt", then you still have the same trouble redirecting the path "C:\Program Files\TippKonigin".
Try to redirect the application directory itselft

[Redirection]
ExcludeAppDir=0

or use token %appdir% in the path you like to redirect and put the path in the [FilesystemInclude]
