Converting VBS to EXE Friday, March 30, 2007 2:39 AM (permalink)

I'm using the following utility to convert VBS to EXEs: http://www.sharewareplaza.com/Vbs-To-Exe-download_47283.html.
 
What I've noticed is that after the conversion WshShell.Popup or WScript.Echo functionality no longer works?  Thoughts anyone???
 
Thanks in advance.

    Have you asked the 3rd party supplier?

      Snipah is correct that the vendor is the place to start, but just as extra information, if they are using the Scripting API to do the work, then I suspect that there are some object that are not available. We have seen issues like this in the past with Quick Test Pro for instance.

        I had reached out to the vendor prior to posting in the tech forum.  Unfortunately, I have received no response. 
         
        Any ideas of alternate products that may work without issues?
         
        Thanks

          It depends on whay you want to convert the script to an EXE in the first place.

            Simply want to be able to leverage WshShell.Popup or WScript.Echo functionality within the converted script to generate a pop-up on end client's system.  Using a WMI command to remotely execute process on the end system, but it does not work unless the vbs has been converted to an exe.

              Aah, so you just need an exe. You aren't worried about hiding passwords or anything like that?

                Correct.

                  In that case I would consider either a self extracting zip executeable or using the script packager that is in PrimalScript.

                    PrimalScript did the trick.  Thanks much.

                      The problem is that their script engine is not complete. I use ExeScript for this type of compilation, and even can use WScript.ConnectObject, WScript.DisconnectObject. As I know, other compilation (not extraction) tools can't offer this functionality.

                        I know that you are not exactly hiding it, but I feel that it would be nice if you are more overt regarding the fact that you are an Everstrike employee. The above post for instance sounds very much like a user testimonial rather than what is essentially an advertisement by an employee.

                          I'm not a moderator (obviously), but personally I would appreciate it if forum members would desist from thread necromancy. Particularly if they revive year-old threads for advertising purposes.
