Search the forum. This topic has been covered ad nauseam.
Those threads will discuss the basics.
1) You are not creating an executable. You are creating a self-extracting file. It first extracts all the data to a temporary folder before executing.
2) The exe extracting the batch file to a temporary folder will wreak havoc with what you think is the current working directory but it really isn't.
