This is easy, simply create a new textfile and have it look like this:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Square Soft, Inc\FINAL FANTASY VIII\1.00]

"Datadrive"="entry"

And save the file as yourname.reg

Where entry obviously is what you refer to as 'the same as "App Path".
And 'yourname' can be anything.

If you're going to create an SFX file anyway you might as well include this file, and have it run as soon as the self-extracting is done. Not sure if this can be done with any zip program but I know WinRAR can do this. Just browse the options.

I've done this process exactly as it's written, but I still cannot play the game. When I select "New Game" I keep getting the wrong disc screen.

I think it may be something in the order in which I used the cracks? I'm trying to run the English PC version. I have Spawn's Spanish crack, a crack by ThUquay that creates a new exe titled "FF8B" and the 1.0 and 1.2 updates.

When I run the FF8B app, I don't get the wrong disc screen, only insert disc 1.

Any help?

You cant use Spanish cracks on an English version ...

You first have to update the untouched 1.00 Exe file then apply the necessary cracks

Don't be such a reallazymofo, contact the publisher and ask for a replacement. (Oh, and read the forum rules!)
