is there some kind of PC equivalent to creating an application bundle
file like you create from Script Editor or Applescript Studio ?
being able to access files within the your application bundle makes
everything so portable :)
is this possible on the PC ?
Sort of. There's no direct equivalent to packages on Windows, that is,
the this-is-really-a-folder-but-it-looks-like-a-file thing. However,
Windows executables can have additional resources "baked in" as it
were, so you still only have to look at one file. It's pretty much the
same concept of Mac OS's Resource Manager, only without using multiple
file forks and without as many annoying restrictions on data size.
That said, Windows culture does not forbid having lots of ancillary
files near the application, nor does it expect applications to be
movable once they're installed. Not that either wouldn't be desirable,
they're just not expected.
