Just to redefine, then... I am looking for a script (PowerShell, VB or JScript will do) that creates an executable in a specified place. The compiled executable code does nothing but pauses for a second or two and then closes.
The one I currently have does this:- Compiles an executable that will run for a couple of seconds then exit Creates the executable file called xxx.exe in %ProgramFiles%\xxx This is all I actually need it to do - I am using it as a kind of user-defined trigger for other actions.
