Which version of Ruby are you running? If you’re running 1.8.6 I’ll
strongly recommend you to update to either 1.8.7 or 1.9.2, because 1.8.6
is outdated. http://rubyinstaller.org

I remember that i saw some time ago a newer tool, which created .exe
files on Windows from Ruby scripts without doing the extraction into
temp directory as orca is doing when running the .exe. I’m unable to
find that tool now. Does anyone else know about that tool i’m
referring to?

Yes, is called exerb, is not new:

Coming directly from Japan :wink:

But to work with newer RubyInstaller, you will need the MinGW “port”
of it.

A tutorial on getting that working is here:
