There's no way.  It is now always in the zip file, the zip can be shared
between several (possibly) related exe or dll files which you can build
with one setup script.  Technically, it should be possible to append the
zip archive to the exe file itself, but what would you gain?  One file
less to distribute - is it worth the effort?
