I am quite happy creating executables and installers for my Ruby
applications, but I'd like to be able to create a simple folder which
I can then zip and distribute (I think it would be best for me to
distribute an installer and a zipped folder; the single-file exe
extraction is relatively slow and not really necessary).

This folder would contain exactly what is put into the installer - a
small exe, my source files and the copy of the Ruby installation.

Is this possible with the current Ocra (or easily hackable)?

p.s. Just got around to actually making an installer today; thanks
very much for implementing that - it is nice and easy to do!

I managed to work it out, though it is perhaps not the easiest way. I
first created an installer, then ran that with "/silent /dir=c:/
extracted_path/" and deleted the uninstall files. This then gives me a
folder which I can distribute, which also openly includes all source
code, without needing it to extract to the tmp dir.
