The (Ruby Shoes) packaging solution from Hacketyhack.net doesnt work. Can anyone point me to an alternative?
A:
There's a small tutorial in this Juixe Techknow blog post. It provides a good introduction to Ruby Shoes.

There is a shoes/shoes github project that hosts the latest binaries. However, as of (Sept 10, 2009) packaging requires a few patches that remove the dependencies on _why's no longer existent server.
I was able to find pack.rb in the Shoes application folder and replace it with this version of pack.rb After that, my packager was able to package basic applications.

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/426965/how-do-i-change-the-icon-of-my-shoes-app/730071#730071 works to change the icon. The tool will let you edit icons embedded in the exe's resources. A tip I discovered was to "replace" the icon. Don't delete it and add a new.
