[[static aspect]]

(1) the property of your downloaded files
White: get by unpacked (general .zpi file)
Black: get by simulation running (general .exe or .msi, including .pak.exe)

+: support
-: no support

W+: no installation & officially support (notepad++)
sample: .zip
W-: no installation (in fact similar as W+)
sample: .zip
B+: installation but officailly support (like U3/PA)
if U3/PA site officially says they support, relunctant count as B+
sample: .pak.exe
B-: installation & no portable/green edition
sample: .exe

official site may offer B-, W(+/-), B+
PA site may offer B+ (i have a U3 before and its quality...)
or google to findout B+

if you are clear about what is, for convience & update(upgrade), you can

use B+

(2) the file format of your downloaded files: jsut as in content
your research in them: use
TC: enter/Ctrl-PageDown (also its plugin like MSI)
7-zip or winrar
Universal Extractor
(PEiD as a utility)
sample:
.zip: tc built in support (ENTER)
.cab: seems built in support by TC (example: TC its self's installation

package)
.msi: tc+MSI, or 7-zip, or UE
.exe: Ctrl+pageDown, or 7-zip. or UE

[[dynamic aspect]]
for files of kinds B(lackBox), esp. B-, you may want to simulatig the

installation progress. 2 way:
compare result with initial status: I call it:
DS (Dynamic Static).
use: Sanboxie, regsnap, ...
monitor the whole progress:
DD (Dynamic Dynamic)
use: FileMon & RegMon

[RunTime]
without relation to the above, a program may:
generate/modify file (whether under pragram dir or not)
sample: the .ini file ; data file ; position file ; help.gid ;
%appdata% ; my document ; %temp% ; sendTo ; system32\ ;
....
modify registry
sampel: rightButton Menu ; fileAssocaition
load service (!)
load device driver (!)

i have a green exe file, howto run in portableapps?
new folder 智能光驱开关 under 安装路径\PortableApps\,copy the .exe file to it. in portalbapps gui, click options->refresh. ok, you see 智能光驱开关

more, I want to specify the exe file and its name showed in menu?
that is, customize your protaleapps menu.
no official support. but here is a workaround:(note this does not support a tree-menu like click windows start menu->All Programs=>...)
http://www.miscellaneousdata.de/download/portappsmenuworkaround/index.php
download portableapps-menu-workaround.exe:
http://www.miscellaneousdata.de/portableapps-menu-workaround.exe
now if you have a software called gimp in: u:\test\gimp, the exeutive file you want to show in menu is u:\test\gimp\gimp.exe. so now:
create a folder named gimpTest in portableapps's application folder, inside it:
copy portableapps-menu-workaround.exe
create a txt file: portableapps-menu-workaround.txt, the file content:
appear_in_portableapps_menu_as_exe=u:\test\gimp\gimp.exe
process_to_start=start u:\test\gimp\gimp.exe
replacement_productname=GIMP Portable V1.2.3
now execute portableapps-menu-workaround.exe, after about 10-30seconds, it generate:
portableapps-menu-workaround-for-gimp.exe
then delete the origin file: portableapps-menu-workaround.exe
now the foler gimpTest only contains 2 files.
restart PortableApps, in the menu you will see it!
Note: in the above steps, your origin gimp/ folder is NOT changed, donot worry
