That should have worked. But if you are getting a message that the OS 
can't find the application that "created" it, that means the OS doesn't 
recognize the file as an application. Usually that means the creator and 
type codes aren't set right. In the Standalone Settings dialog, you need 
to make sure that the document type is set to "APPL". The Creator 
signature can be a code you've registered with Apple, or (for your own 
use) any 4-character code you invent, or you can just leave it as the 
default "????".

Set those and try rebuilding.
