Subject: Re: How do I create an RBA Ruby Archive File?

I think I have figured out what the problem has been.

RUBYSCRIPT2EXE.bin=['my_icon.ico'] results in the file being placed in
the .../bin directory at execution time (makes sense).

The documentation says that RUBYSCRIPT2EXE.appdir points to the
.../bin directory.

require "rubyscript2exe"
RUBYSCRIPT2EXE.appdir             ===> C:/bin
RUBYSCRIPT2EXE.appdir("README")   ===> C:/bin/README
RUBYSCRIPT2EXE.appdir{Dir.pwd}    ===> C:/bin

But as you might assume from the method name, RUBYSCRIPT2EXE.appdir
infact points to the .../app directory.

There is no method that I can see that references the bin directory,
but this is where all the bins and dlls go. Secondly, there is no
mehod for placing a file in the .../app folder, but this is the folder
that RUBYSCRIPT2EXE.appdir points to. The only solution I can come up
with is chopping off the app portion and adding bin

binDir = RUBYSCRIPT2EXE.appdir
3.times{binDir.chop!}
binDir += 'bin'

Am I overthinking this. Seems like there must be a better way
