A:
RubyScript2Exe is probably what you are looking for. It should meet all of your needs, but supposedly generates a large executable under windows because of static linking with cygwin.

No. RubyScript2Exe will package up your source code, so the source code is most definitely visible.

There's also the possibility to obfuscate the code, so that reading is getting close to impossible.

@Fabiano PS: Perl, the only language which is *after* RSA-Encryption more readable. ;)

A:
If you use RubyScript2Exe you source code can always be read. The explanation here : http://www.erikveen.dds.nl/rubyscript2exe/#3.4.3 .
Maybe, like Bobby said, the obfuscation is a better way. But hiding the source code is often a bad idea.
