Compiling au3 files to exe without Aut2Exe

[ozisamur]

Hello everyone,

I need to compile au3 file to exe without using Aut2Exe tool (it is forbidden in my environment). Where should I look at for this purpose? If Aut2Exe is an open source I can analyze the source code of that.

BTW: Online compiler will not work, I don't have internet connection for that specific machine.

Thanks.

Could be me but this question sounds like you want to have Hamer in a nail without a hammer, since they are not allowed.

Is AutoIt3 not allowed in your environment at all?
if so: why look at AutoIt3 at all then?

Well, you can compile it manually, however you'll still need to compile your script to A3X.

1. Get any already compiled AutoIt script (in .exe), no matter what it is (it can even be a hello world)

2. Compile your desired script to A3X.

3. Open A3X with Notepad(++) and your exe file with Resource Hacker

4. In Resource Hacker, replace the content of RCDATA\SCRIPT with the A3X file contents. That's all.

5. Come back and answer why AU3 is forbidden on your environment

@Jefrey, 

Are you seriously proposing this or just making fun here? You approach still needs a compiled script in the "closed environment" so why go through all this trouble when you simple can compile (your step 2) and simply copy the script.exe to this close environment?

Actually I suggested this so the OP can understand how the compiler works and also know that, no matter what you can do, the compiler is still needed.

Perhaps if the OP gives more detail about the environment we can offer serious suggestions

What has OP smoked?
