RE: Sample XUL standalone application (windows exe)

Thank you Michael and Philipp.
I downloaded the sample app from https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Getting_started_with_XULRunner 
and put the xulrunner-stub.exe (got it from xulrunner installation directory) in the "root" directory and it works exactly as I wanted.

Now my directory structure looks like this(based on the above sample application)...

    my-app-dir/
     |--chrome/
     |--defaults/
     |--extantions/
     |--updates/
     |--application.ini
     |--chrome.manifest
     |--my-app.exe (newly added file. This was renamed from "xulrunner-stub.exe". This was copied from XULRunner installation dir)

You should have a directory structure like this application.ini chrome.manifest ...some more files...
xulrunnner
xulrunner/xulrunner-stub.exe
...

Just copy the xulrunner/xulrunner-stub.exe to the directory where the application.ini lives, rename it however you like (e.g. 
yourapplication.exe) and that's it. You can now start your application with that exe.

There is no need to build your own exe, just copy all files in the right directories. Of course depending on your application build/release process you can write a Makefile to do that for you.
