Ani-chan 0 Posted April 6, 2004 Hi! since most ppl have less problems with an exe, I'm converting my Scripts with Aut2Exe to an executable. Now I have quite a problem, since Aut2Exe seems to compress the Scripts and Stuff with UPX ( as far as I noticed ). When I now remove the UPX compression, the exe wont run anymore I have my own exe-packer and want to use it, since it also got a nice protection! Is there any way to turn the compression completely off? I would love to have a simple Tool, which just merges the exe with the script, without any protection and stuff... somethink like a runtime Anyway, I must say I just love AutoIt! kind regards, Ani-chan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trids 2 Posted April 6, 2004 .. which just merges the exe with the script, without any protection and stuff ..Have you seen Helge's clever trick?HTH Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jon 1,009 Posted April 6, 2004 Well the problem is that even if UPX wasn't used (which is only used for compressing the exe stub, Autoit uses its own compression/encryption for the actual script) then you wouldn't be able to compress it afterwards anyway as it would destroy the format of the exe that AutoIt understands.

Ani-chan 0 Posted April 6, 2004 @trids Does this make a executable? @Jon I thought so, but wouldn't it be possible to create that tool without the compression/protection? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jon 1,009 Posted April 6, 2004 No, because an exe packer/compressor would compress the whole thing which would remove access to the script (which is appended to the exe).

trids 2 Posted April 6, 2004 @tridsDoes this make a executable?Yes .. well, the source gets included into the exe and then if you launch the exe with the /source <password> switches, the source gets restored .. in all it's original indented and commented glory ... .. sorry - i like this so much i got carried away a little Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ani-chan 0 Posted April 6, 2004 hm... but I just wanna have a little uncompressed/undecrypted exe which runs my script... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

esfalk 0 Posted April 7, 2004 Ani-chan, Aut2Exe converts your script to an executable that can be run on any PC and requires no AutoIT be installed. It doesn't need to be uncompressed or decrypted by anything; and like Trids said... you can always expand it back to the origional code if you know the passphrase.

trids 2 Posted April 7, 2004 .. and if you compiled it with Helge's clever trick (see link above) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
