Hello,

I need to create an exe wrapper for my vbscript and some associated files. I need this to distribute the exe and the associated files through email, so that the end user can just run the exe and it would update the associated files in their computer.

I would appreciate a quick response pleeezzzzz

Thanks a lot for the help.

Winzip will create self extracting executeables and I think will execute a command when it completes extraction. If you have PrimalScript, it will package VBScripts into an exe along with support files as well.

hey ebgreen,

nice to see you again!! Thanks for the reply. I have another question which is a wee bit unrelated to vbscript. I have an asp page which generates the associated files. Is it possible for it to run some command code which would dynamically wrap the files and the vbscript?

thanks

Winzip provides a command line plugin but I'm not sure if it is capable of creating a self extracting exe or not. I believe that PrimalScript exposes an API but I have no familiarity with what functionality is exposed through it.

I've worked with Primalscript on this, and the best I could do was to get it to work if I already had primalscript open. The version of the file (vbs2exe.exe) that is distributed with primalscript seems to REQUIRE that primalscript be open and running for it to work.

Go figure.

If it's a really simple script you *could* try converting it to VB.NET. Visual Studio Express Edition is free at the moment and, although some the .NET commands and syntax are different to VBS, much of the methodology (objects, methods, properties etc) is the same.

I'm having a blast converting ManagePC to .NET and it's not as tough as I thought it would be. There's also LOADS of sample code out there to help you.
