Is it possible to compile a vbs script.
Rose
Is that possible ?
Can Visual Basic do that ?
Is there any other way ?
TIA

into an executable so as to hide the source, look on
msdn.microsoft.com/scripting/ for the Script Encoder. This will make it very
difficult for the casual user to observe the source code.
hope this helps,

but Visual Basic allows you to build exe's as well as controls and other
executable files.

shouldn't be very difficult to do since vbscript is a subset of VB. (The
hard conversion is from VB to VBscript)

code using the MSVC string container and dump it to a file in one
write statement. That class is essentially the same as used by
JScript strings but I pass by address and not value. You'll never
seen any source code with a binary viewer. I create a temporary file
in the IE temporary directores and put an old date on it. I couldn't
find it if I wanted too. I use the CSCRIPT engine parameter so I
don't use .js or .vbs extentions but in this case .html. The first
lines of the source file DELETES itself. As insurance I remove it in
the C++ program. Even if you rename CSCRIPT and empty IE temporary
directories you'll never see what is going on. I intercept all
keyboard shenanigans like CTRL-BREAK and gracefully exit. I'm
currently looking at using file encryption for the source input. Even
if you change a bit the decryption is still garbage and wouldn't pass
a simple Engine validation. The upside one size fits all. It's not
as complicated as it sounds. The roadmap should suffice. Obviously
this works with any interpreted language where you protect the source
code. You make adjustments for the anomalies.

There are freeware 'bundlers', one named "bundler", that stores your
file as an EXE then upon execution it extracts your file and 'opens'
it with it's 'associated' program...
here, found a link...

It will create an EXE from 'ANY file'. When you launch that EXE it
will extract the 'ANY file' to the %temp% directory and launch it with
it's "Associated" program. It passes up to 9 arguments to that file
also, in case your .vbs accepts arguments. It is not totally stealth,
but discourages people from looking at your .vbs code...

Hi, Larry
This looks like it could be useful. But...
On my W98SE, IE5.5, WSH 5.6 system, it puts the original script in the %temp% directory, but does not launch it.
I just tried a one-liner:
msgbox "hello"
It displays the messagebox when I double click the file in %temp%.

Hi, Larry
Leaving the source in the %temp% directory seems foolish.
Can your launcher pass something to the script so that code like this can delete it before anyone has a chance to look at it?
Dim objFSO
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
'If I was started by File2EXE then
' objFSO.DeleteFile WScript.ScriptFullName
'End If
...
'The rest of the script

You'd laugh if you knew how I made this... I will try to delete after
it runs... but for now, I just hacked it together to discover the
possibilities.

try this one... it 'should' delete the file after it closes.

Hi, Larry
Two problems:
1. When I run the executable created by File2EXE.exe, it creates the original .VBS in %temp%, but it never launches it. I proved
that to myself by having two lines in the .VBS -- a 60-second sleep and a message box. The message box never shows up, and if I do
control-alt-delete immediately after running the executable, there is no entry for it in the close-program list.
How are you launching it?
2. The deletion of the script should occur as soon as it is loaded, not after it has completed running. If I insert the deletion
code at the beginning of my script, it does the deletion and runs to completion (but I can't run it again for testing because it is
gone). So I wanted a way to test the script without self-deletion, while retaining the automatic deletion when created by running
the executable created by File2EXE.exe.
Thus code like this at the beginning of the script:
Dim objFSO
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
'If I was started by File2EXE then
' objFSO.DeleteFile WScript.ScriptFullName
'End If

With AutoIt's RunWait command (uses CreateProcess) and
"%comspec%" /c start /w "x:\full\path\to.exe"
start /w uses the registry to discover the files associated program.
If no program is associated, then nothing happens... I guess.. I could
trap the %errorlevel% and pass that out the ass end of the process, I
spose... Anyway... this is not created with a programming language,
but with elements from AutoIt.
