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

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

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.
