RubyScript2Exe includes an application (your script) and only
parts of the rubylib tree (it's stripped specifically for that
application).

AllInOneRuby contains a complete Ruby installation: it includes
no application, but it does include the complete rubylib tree.
You can use it like the ruby that's already installed on your
system to run any script.

In other words: the executable, generated with RubyScript2Exe,
is an application; the one generated with AllInOneRuby "is"
Ruby.
