How to package a NW.js application on Windows

Question

I am reading the instructions for how to package a NW.js app and the wording is a confusing mess and makes no sense. I highlighted the contradictory word-salad parts.

Answer 1

You're welcome to my batch file that automates everything. It compiles, updates time stamps of all files to be included, and runs your app for testing.

Works perfect under XP or W7.

NB: Just search & replace all instances of "SourceDir", "DestinDir", and "ProgName" as required.

@echo off
title ProgName Compile & Run Script (c) 2016
cls
set FILETOZIP=C:\SourceDir\*.*
set TEMPDIR=C:\temp
: rmdir %TEMPDIR%
mkdir %TEMPDIR%
xcopy /s %FILETOZIP% %TEMPDIR%
cd C:\temp
copy /b *.* +,,
cd C:\DestinDir
echo Set objArgs = WScript.Arguments > Temp.vbs
echo InputFolder = objArgs(0) >> Temp.vbs
echo ZipFile = objArgs(1) >> Temp.vbs
echo CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject").CreateTextFile(ZipFile, True).Write "PK" ^& Chr(5) ^& Chr(6) ^& String(18, vbNullChar) >> Temp.vbs
echo Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application") >> Temp.vbs
echo Set source = objShell.NameSpace(InputFolder).Items >> Temp.vbs
echo objShell.NameSpace(ZipFile).CopyHere(source) >> Temp.vbs
echo wScript.Sleep 2000 >> Temp.vbs
del C:\DestinDir\ProgName.exe /f /s
CScript Temp.vbs  %TEMPDIR%  C:\DestinDir\ProgName.zip
ren C:\DestinDir\ProgName.zip ProgName.nw
copy /b nw.exe+ProgName.nw ProgName.exe
del C:\DestinDir\Temp.vbs /f /s
del C:\DestinDir\ProgName.nw /f /s
rmdir C:\temp /s /q
start ProgName.exe
