Home >

Advanced BAT to EXE Converter is the best choice to compile your batch files to .EXE for distributing commercially. Advanced BAT to EXE Converter encrypts your code and creates an actual native Windows .EXE program. These .EXE do not require any pre-installed software to function and can be digitally signed.

   Even the most complex batch files can be compiled to executables with the included Intelli-Parse technology. This reduces development time by making sure your EXE works exactly as the original batch file does. You can embed your company name and Copyright information to build your online reputation. Use the "Include Version Info" feature when compiling your project.

  .BAT to .EXE Benefits:

Users of your batch file scripts cannot view/change your code after it is encrypted by the compiler.

Any actions performed by the script can be kept secret.

Feature to run your scripts "Invisible" in the background without the batch file console window showing.

One of the powerful new commands can launch any Windows program completely invisible.

Extended Functions Usage

Tip #1 - You MUST use the prefix "rem " for the compiler to recognize the Advanced Commands. There must be only one space between REM and the Advanced Command or it will remain a COMMENT.

    rem HideSelf

Tips for using Advanced BAT to EXE Converter

Open and look through the example batch files included in the compiler menu

While editing your batch files you will notice the code changing colors when using the Advanced Commands:
GREEN for REM comments (REM still works for non Advanced Command statements)
PURPLE (warning) for recognized Advanced Commands missing options
BLUE (ok) for rem Advanced Commands with the correct number of options
RED (error) Advanced Command with possible typo
ORANGE for GOTO and :Labels

Please note that the compiler color codes the script statements based on the number of options entered after an extended command. The compiler does NOT check for the correct data type.

Save your batch file after compiling it to save the Project Options including EXE path, icon, version information.
This data will be loaded the next time you open the batch file with the compiler.

To add a comment in the batch file, use a REM statement

Be sure not to use any commands that may require user input while the compiled batch file is hiding with the HideSelf command

PrintColor does not print a "return" after it prints to the screen. This is so you can print more than one color on a line without having to use Locate. Simply use PrintReturn to start at the next line.
Use ChangeColor when using PaintScreen to change the text backround color to match the current background color.

To Embed files to the compiled EXE, click the plus sign "+" on the Select EXE Options window (Embed Files tab)

Use the %MYFILES% variable within your script to access these files as if it was a folder.

Use %0 to get the EXE filename of the compiled batch file EXE at runtime.
Use %~dps0 to get the folder path of the compiled batch file EXE at runtime.
Batch file windows are 80 spaces in width and 25 spaces in height.
To close the window when a batch file finishes executing, simply put a CLS (clear screen) statement at the end of the batch file.
If the console window closes before you can see any text on the screen, put a PAUSE (press any key to continue) statement at the end of the batch file.
Make sure English is selected on your Language bar.

   Command Line Compile Usage:
   Copy your "ab2econv283pro" installation folder out of %program files%
   to a location where you have write permissions first.

     aB2Econv.exe "c:\Batch Files\input.BAT" "c:\Batch Files\output.EXE"

   It is recommended that you use quotes and full path filenames.

   You can right click a batch file in Windows Explorer and use the context menu
   to automatically compile a batch file as well.

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

Why should I use Advanced BAT to EXE Converter?

Advanced BAT to EXE Converter is the first and only compiler that will work for all complex batch files without the need to make specific changes to your script based on which compiler you are using with Intelli-Parse technology. Less hassle=less development time.

You can encrypt your script to hide the code from end users. This allows you to share scripts with passwords for FTP or networking functions. You can also embed Icons and other binary files that your script needs to function and turn them all into one stand-alone EXE file to share. You also have the option of password protecting your EXE so it will not run without the correct password.

What is Intelli-Parse?

Intelli-Parse technology is unique to Advanced BAT to EXE Converter. This feature scans your batch file script word for word and will make any necessary changes to your code in memory so it runs exactly how your unmodified batch file does before compiling. Other solutions would require modification of some commands within your batch file so they operate correctly when converted to EXE.

What else makes Advanced BAT to EXE Converter better than other BAT to EXE compilers?
