Subject: rubyscript2exe problem with Qt::File

Hi !

I have written a small ruby Qt application under Windows XP. For this I 
used the Ruby Qt Binding ( 
http://vision.eng.shu.ac.uk/mmvlwiki/index.php/Qt4-QtRuby_installer_for_Microsoft_Windows 
), Qt version 4.3.4 and Ruby 1.8.6-25.

Now I wanted to create an executable file with the help of the 
Rubyscript2exe but it does not work. The error message I get is the 
following:

Couldn't execute this command (rc=256):

Rubyscript2exe (version 0.5.3) works fine if I remove the parts of my 
ruby application that contain the "Qt::File" ( I use it like this :  
/main = Qt::UiLoader.new.load(Qt::File.new("TipOfTheDay.ui")) /) I 
googled but I only found some problems with "frozen strings..."
If someone needs more information please let me know. It would be really 
nice to get some help / hints.

Greetings
Markus
