You copy .node file dependecies of package in .exe folder?

I've searched for a solution for this for multiple hours and finally found it (here), so I thought I'd share it with you. For unknown reasons, it's only going to work when the packaged file is named node.exe. I'll continue to search for a workaround or a fix to this package so it works with .exe files named other than node.exe.

A re-write was done dropping nbind and adopting N-API, which turns this into a pretty standard module - can someone confirm if this is still an issue with v3.0.0?

[YeapGuy]

@mceIdo Nope, now I get a different error (yay?):
Error: A dynamic link library (DLL) initialization routine failed.

And again, this only happens with a different filename than "node". Naming the file node.exe and then running it works.

[YeapGuy]

And also. I found a workaround for this issue some time ago, just forgot to put it here:
Use rid.exe on the .node file found in \node_modules\windows-trayicon\build\Release\addon.node. Example: rid.exe addon.node node.exe yourfilename.exe. That does the trick.
