WinBatch - Compiler

From Kathmann Labs

[edit] WinBatch - Compiler

WinBatch programs can be compiled into .EXE files to be deployed to computers that do not have WinBatch installed. Please see the WinBatch - WBT vs EXE page for more details about the difference between the two file types.

[edit] WinBatch Compiler Options

Source - The location and name of the .WBT file you wish to compile into an .EXE
Options

Large EXE for Standalone PC's - This option installs the Extenders specified along with the .WBT program into one large .EXE file. It should be all you need to deploy your package as a single file. NOTE: This option places the .DLL files required for the Extenders in the path that the .EXE program was executed from. If the users do not have write access to this directory, and the .DLL files do not already exist, the execution will fail.
Small EXE for Networked PC's - This option only compiles the .WBT program into an EXE, and you must have the Extenders installed already on that PC. If you have any question as to whether these are installed already or not, chose the Large EXE option.
Encode for Calls from EXE files - This option encodes the .WBT file into something that you can not read the source code from. It will save the file as a .WBC which can only be run on a computer that has WinBatch installed already, or from a WinBatch compiled EXE.
Encrypted with Password - This option compiles the .WBT file into a .WBE file that can have a password placed on it to stop people from running the program. WinBatch itself has the ability to place a password in it to stop execution, so this is rarely used. WinBatch must be installed on the computer in order to run the .WBE.

Target - The location and name of the .EXE/.WBC/.WBE that will be compiled.
Extenders - Specify which Extenders you would like to have compiled into the .EXE. This option is only used when compiling to Large EXEs.
Other Files - Any other files you want to include with the compiled .WBT, such as help files or .INI files.
Icon - Specify the Icon you want the compiled product to have in Windows Explorer.
Settings - Additional Settings controlling the execution of the compiled application.
Version Info - Allows you to change the file attributes that Windows Explorer will see.
