VBS to EXE

broken link?

I love how some of these threads simply turn into a competition of advertisements.

I'm just waiting to see someone post something with some code in it. I admit I've been looking at this article lately: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc136756.aspx

So its certainly plausible, but I hardly have the time to study up on it lately

I was wondering how to convert from vbs to exe, I googled the net, and I found that many coders asks the same question.
is it possible to convert from VBS to EXE ?
many coders wrote NO
But this is what I found, and I thought to share it with you.

Script2EXE

ExeScript

but these are shareware, does any one know any freeware tool ?

Thank you.

Hi  you can download it from here with the serial Number
ExeScript.v3.1.1.0

I use BAM Compiler.  Doesn't convert vbs to exe but should do what you want.
 
Download the BAM Compiler here: http://www.bambalam.se/bamcompile/ (win32)
Extract files and copy the file bamcompile.exe into a new folder.
 
Next, create a bat file in the new folder called compile.bat with the following contents:
 
bamcompile source.php
 
 
Next, create a text file in the new folder and name it source.php with the following contents:
 
<?
       $filepath = "C:";
       exec("MYSCRIPT.vbs -command $filepath ");
       fopen($filepath,rw);
?>
 
Replace MYSCRIPT.vbs with the name of your vbs script you want to run.
 
Double click the compile.bat file and a new file called source.exe will be created.  Copy source.exe into the same folder as the screipt you want to run and it will run the script and appear as a process until the vbs is finished running.  In this case the process would be named source.exe  You can change the file name source.exe to whatever you want.
 

I think this is the answer: http://www.vbsedit.com/

It is free, the full versions costs but the trial never expires. With this you can also convert VBScript into executable file, select icon to it and other things like version info, copyright etc. :)

I recently downloaded ScriptCryptor from Cnet. I opened a VBS file and compiled it. The resulting EXE file was detected as a virus (Norton detected it). Is this EXE file safe? Does it have a virus? Please help.

It's a common problem for all compilation tools. Try ExeScript - they fix this problems very fast, just let them know. And, of course, you have to always use the latest version.
