Where does one store portable executables?

[paul1149]

I've got a couple of portable executables that I don't know how to integrate into the system. For instance, Palemoon is in a folder. I want to park it in the right place and then create a launcher to it, on the desktop and the start menu, for lack of a better term.


I also have a portable windows executable that I can fire directly, but which I cannot fire via launcher. If I park it at /opt or /usr/bin I keep getting access violations, or nothing happens at all.


Thanks for any guidance.
