PowerShell Tutorials : Making your scripts into .exe (executables)

In this video, I go over how to use IExpress to generate .exe files of your scripts and the little changes to make in your scripts in order for the .exe to work properly. We are using the CSV Splitter GUI script as an example, down below is the links to the tutorials for how to make it.

Old but damn you just fixed my headache of writing the cmd code to execute the powershell file to execute. Hats off

It is not an exe of the script, but an exe of self extraction that runs the extracted script after extraction. Not the same, it is good to know that difference. Anyway it is a great trick.

Nice one mate, and almost spot on on my name. 😃. I will try this on one of my PS scripts.

Now waiting on the PS-PDF data manipulation video. 😀

Your videos are outstandingly useful and understandable.
Is there a way for me to become a member or something? You deserve my money, Brother!

Can you make a tutorial how to convert a p5.js project from visual studio to a executable file ?

The point off creating a file.exe is to unly have 1 file agree?
So the issue here is when you have multi xaml files and one ps1 file.
Sure you can collect them in that program in Windows.
And ref to the files, the problem is you still have to have them inside a folder also, else it will not work.
So the point off 1 exe is still a problem that way.
Else you have to put every xaml page script, inside one ps1 to do it that way, and then do the compile to exe file.
Else you have any better way to show via external program like Visual Studio where you have one ps1 file, and multi xaml files.

Thanks for the awesome tutorials, Jack! I have a question. My script is searching for files from folders by inputting strings. Do I need to package those folders also? And is that possible to hold the PowerShell console screen after the program executed to show the result? It's flashed when I run the exe file...Thanks in advance Jack!

this was perfect but is there a way to hit the pswindow that shows up behind my gui?

[cernejr]

Good video, thank you. What is the SED file for?

[lasamadmen]

Salut. Soit un programme .exe que je dois copier dans c:\temp puis l'exécuter. Je souhaite un script powershell qui accomplira ces 2 fonctions. Merci pour ta contribution

[geniegerny]

So do i have to drag all the files on the USB or is the exe file alone enough and the other files are included?

[simondecocker]

I get an Antivirus alert when I try to create an exe from my script. Do you have some suggestions on how to bypass that?

[doza]

Is there a way to remove the powershell start up window from the .exe ? I know there is a command but the command that is used still shows it for a split second.

Hi Jack, i have tried to create executable file from one of my scripts but i receive the message "Another program is currently using this file" and after that the exe file dissapears. I have also set the execution policy to Bypass in my script. Do you have any advice?

[markmiller]

Do you think you could help me with a csv file? I would pay..

[KIRNEILL]

Hey jack! I emailed you about a huge project :) I think you would be interested!
