[edit] WinBatch - WBT vs EXE

WinBatch programs are written in clear text and saved to a .WBT file. .WBT files can be modified by any text editor such as notepad, but you will want to use the WinBatch Studio tool to modify your WinBatch programs and scripts.

[edit] WinBatch programs can be saved to run in several ways:

[edit] .WBT

• .WBT extension files can only be run on a computer that has WinBatch locally installed (along with any used WinBatch Extensions
• .WBT extension files are stored and transfered in plain text
• .WBT extension files do not require the compiler and do not require that they are compiled
• .WBT extension files can be run by double clicking on them in the Windows Explorer

[edit] .EXE

• .EXE extension files must be compiled in order to work
• .EXE extension files can be run on any Windows computer
• .EXE extension files do not require Winbatch to be locally installed on the PC running the program / script

[edit] .WBC

• .WBT extension files are compiled .WBT programs that are encoded to protect their contents
• .WBT extension files can be called from a WinBatch compiled EXE (without WinBatch locally installed)
• .WBT extension files can be run by double clicking on them on a computer with WinBatch locally installed

[edit] .WBE

• .WBE extension files are compiled .WBT programs that are password protected
• .WBE extension files can only be executed on computers that have WinBatch locally installed
