Hi, I try monolighter solution but i can't create a correct app.exe because when I start it node-webkit show nw:blank page.
I don't understand where I was wrong.. :-(

This could be a bug . I'll see what I can find and get back to you.

thank you very much

[risingphoenix]

@monolighter as specified in the wiki, the plugin:true flag is useful for plugins like flash, not for nodejs modules

[rogerwang]

My wild guess is that the module DLL wants its dependency -- nw.exe, but after packaging, 'nw.exe' is renamed.

[Mithgol]

This guess could be tested by placing nw.exe beside app.exe to see what happens.

[rogerwang]

or just name the app executable nw.exe.

[bicio]

if I rename my app.exe in nw.exe work fine!

[everyonme]

can i package .dll files with nw.exe and app.zip together ?
