Script in Script to Compile to Exe

[pytruong]

Googled and Searched and I couldn't find this. I think my "keywords" are incorrect but I've tried different combinations of words. Closest thing I found was this: https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/149432-build-exe-from-exe/ but I don't know if it's actually what I'm looking for and the link provided by Melba23 (https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/149432-build-exe-from-exe/?do=findComment&comment=1064672) is giving an error.

What I'm trying to do is create a code("Code1") that contains another code ("Code2").

Code1 contains GUI input boxes for $Username & $Password

Code2 then uses those variables for the main coding that I've created

Code1 then creates the compiled Exe. 

But I would like Code1 to be in itself already an Exe that I can give to my colleagues.

The purpose is that Code1.Exe will request their credentials and then a new Exe will be compiled for them that ONLY contains Code2 (with their credentials embedded into it).

about a better approach ?

the data in that topic is written without any protection but you can encrypt it and adapt the idea to your needs

Thank you Argumentum for the quick response. Not exactly what I was looking for, because I didn't want to have 2 .Exe files but if what I originally wanted is not doable, I'll have to play with the scripts from that link. Thanks once again!

pytruong,

Unfortunately many of my links were irretrievably destroyed in the forum upgrade - something to do with the way in which they were formatted. I think this is the thread to which I was linking:

The compile process has changed slightly since that was written (there is no longer any need for AutoItSC.bin), but the principle remains the same.

Not sure if this is what you mean from your original post but this script creates an EXE that you can give to a user (script #2) to enter a username and password and is generated from script #1.  https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/170225-create-self-extracting-encrypted-exe-files/

EDIT: I did not see Melba's link at first - his is no doubt a much better approach.

I'm sorry for the delay. Just wanted to thank you guys for the quick response. Melba23, I'm going to give that WrapIt a shot, it looks interesting. Thanks!

@pytruong: you may also be interested in CodeCrypter (link in my signature below), which allows you to create exes from your Code 1 that will run only for specific individuals, in specific environments, or upon entering a valid password (that is not stored inside the script/exe).
