BAT to EXE - one that works well and is free?

[tarquel]

Hi all

 

Its possibly the age old question but does any of you know of a decent batch file to exe converter tool?

 

All the ones I've tried so far [and there does appear to be many] either think the working directory is in C:\windows\temp, or the thing is only an eval converter and puts a disclaimer up first with a press any key...

 

Not much good for automated stuff really is it? lol

 

I'll have a look at all suggestions.

 

Many thanks

Nath.

You could bite the bullect and convert your scripts to AutoIt. I just love it!

[ajbritton]

Is there a particular reason you want to convert your scripts?

[Espada]

I agree, go with AutoIT. It is so much more powerful than a standard batch script.

Is there a particular reason you want to convert your scripts?

 

There is, and its all the usual reasons lol

 

I've looked at AutoIT a very long time ago, and I just couldnt get into it for some reason.

 

I'll give it another whirl maybe.

 

Any other suggestions folks?

Alternatively, if you don't mind dabbling in KiXtart then have a look at kix2exe

[tarquel]

Yep - I use kix for the printers on the domain(s)... but only very very minimally lol

 

Either way it seems I'll have to either learn another scripting system or keep hunting lol *cry*
