encrypt Administrator password

[Sebastian82]

Hi, i wanted to automate an installation for users who havent administrator privileges. They know auto it and know how to decompile it. Exist a methode to encrypt the Administrator password in the source code?

That's not possible since you would need to write everything neccessary into the script to decrypt the password. So even if it would be encrypted, it's possible to decrypt the password, you'd just increase the work needed to do this.

Even the password you can specify to restrict decompiling is not better since the script needs to be able to decrypt itself to run.

So after all, it only makes the decryption a bit harder.

Download and install Scite.

There are extra options when compiling, such as use password or do not allow decompile.

Get it here Scite HomePage

Hope it helps

Actually, you don't need SciTe: this is a feature of aut2exe, which comes standard with the au3 installation

--> Start / Programs / Autoit v3 / Compile script to exe.
