Hi,

your script has been converted to exe with rubyscript2exe
(http://www.erikveen.dds.nl/rubyscript2exe/index.html)  so maybe there
you can find some advice.

First, try adding path to the ISO....rb to %RUBYOPTS%:

set RUBYOPTS=%RUBYOPTS% -Ipath/to/iso88591.rb

and hope that the packed script will pick it up ;-)

If not, I would recommend extracting the archive (your.exe
--eee-justextract) and checking if the file is there. If not, you can
try to provide one (e.g. from your regular ruby installation, and make
sure that is as much similar version as possible) and repack.

I don't remember the exact process of repacking, I was something like
1. edit .eee file found in the unpacked dir (add reference to iso8859
file),
2. call eee.exe <the .eee file> <destination.exe>

Or, you can try running the script with your 'regular' ruby installation.

Good luck!
