I’m trying the following code

require “rubyscript2exe”

@app\_dir = RUBYSCRIPT2EXE.appdir()

that on compile time works properly, giving me the path to the .rb  
script. On run-time though it gives to me the dir where the script is  
temporary placed instead of the path to the .exe ☹  
So I get something like  
"C:\DOCUME~1\USER~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\eee.dir.exe/app/…

Any clue how to get the actual .exe path?

Thanks, chr
