RUBYSCRIPT2EXE.appdir show the temp dir

nuthinking@googlemail.com

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

Hi Christian,

So, it works properly on both compile time and run time... ;]

[1] states: "If you want to know the full path to the directory
of your (embedded) application, use RUBYSCRIPT2EXE.appdir."

The "embedded" in this sentence doesn't mean the EXE file, but
the contents of the EXE file. In other words: the temporary
directory in which the application is put before it is started.

See [2].

Thanks a lot Erik, RUBYSCRIPT2EXE::APPEXE works fine, is it that
unstable? :)

Okay, I understand the confusion. Yes, I consider it stable,
since it does do what it should do. But it is unstable, since I
want to be able to change or remove it in the future... ;]

Technically, it's stable. Time-wise, it's unstable.

So, I presume this is a good news... cheers Eric :)
