Try using Nabble instead:

It's a bit work but not a horrendous ordeal. You need basically 3 pieces:

1) The Executable. The executable can be a renamed Squeak.exe. Say you 
want to ship an app that's running the towers of Hanoi, you'd rename 
Squeak.exe to TheTowersOfHanoi.exe

2) The Image. The image can be renamed to whatever you'd like it, say 
TheTowersOfHanoi.dat (to hide the fact that it's a Squeak image file)

3) The INI file. It tells the executable to launch the image and various 
other parts. This is described in detail under "Deployment Settings" in 
the document at:
    http://squeakvm.org/win32/settings.html
