I’m trying to use PackageCompiler to compile a simple script of mine into a standalone application. Following the documentation on app creation, I created a folder consisting of all the compiled binaries. This is not ideal, and I would prefer to have a single .exe file. Is there any way to do this with PackageCompiler?

Thanks in advance.
