Shari, You could write the code in the startup handler of your app that would change the value in the Info.pList file, but that would only "take" for subsequent launches; the first time, the user would see "MetaCard".
The other way is to ship your standalone to someone with OS X and let them fix it for you (until you get a copy of OS X of your own).
