I got this when trying to create a portable app:

Signature detected: Inno Setup Setup Data (5.5.0) (u)

This is not directly supported, but i'll try to unpack it as version 5309

; Version detected: 5500 (Unicode)

Unpacking failed. This version is not supported.

What to do?

Have you tried different version?

Note though that the program runs in a TEMPORARY folder, so as soon as you have made any changes, game saves, etc.

ALL the changes are GONE

[Cekpi7]

yeah but you can first run the app,make changes or save game and then archive it

[acabrera7]

but that is a very annoying hassle!
Imagine archiving a game you finished with it! Furthermore, some comuputers has a rule that when the temp folder is finished being in use eg, quitting a game, the temp folder deletes it before you can get to it.

"Run that .exe file and see if program works"

What happens if it doesn't?

[Cekpi7]

nothing happens but you need to uniextract other setup file
