Chimaera Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Here's my problem I wrote a program to simplfy unpacking of files after download but its an exe obviously and people who download are always going to be suspicious of a single .exe for the obvious reasons. It cannot be rar-ed or anything like that as it has to be runable straight after download. The only thing i can come up with is to change the file ending to .wtf and have a small cmdfile that runs the exe after renaming it. (which isnt really getting around the problem as such.) Id prefer not to have an exe but i need to execute my code to unpack the files Is there an alternative way to distrubute the file? Any thoughts? If Ive just helped you ... miracles do happen.

BrewManNH Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Zip file? If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

NewPlaza Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 If all your clients have Autoit then give them the AU3 file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Melba23 Posted August 27, 2013 Moderators Share Posted August 27, 2013 Chimaera,If they all have AutoIt, better to give them an .a3x file and so get some protection for the code on which you have worked so hard. But why should they be afraid of your exe if they get it from you - as long as they trust you? Offer some basic reassurances like a file size and an MD5 hash so that they can at least check that the file is the one you say it is. After all, if they are not prepared to trust you, will they even dare to unpack the files you give them?

Chimaera Posted August 28, 2013 Author Share Posted August 28, 2013 My software was adopted by some of the uploaders on the usenet I don't control their content and they just add my file with their upload. An A3x wouldn't work sorry and i have already looked at MD5 etc but the people using it probably wouldn't know how to check it anyway I have a look at the Wix path JLogan3o13 thx Ill keep looking If Ive just helped you ... miracles do happen.
