You mean "compiles a source file into an executable". Is that correct? You are aware that placing the executable in %ProgramFiles% is a high privilege operation?

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.

I am not quite sure on what you want. Can you please PM me, as I might have a solution for you. Thanks 2013/10/18 James Rankin <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Hmmm, bummer. I thought I was just getting hit by a lot of Google-chaff because every link I could find simply talks about creating an executable from a PS script, which is obviously not what I want. Rather frustrating when you know it's possible because I've got code that works but can't use it :-( On 18 October 2013 14:02, Michael B.

The executable did nothing except run for a couple of seconds and then exit, which was exactly what I needed. Unfortunately I am now putting together a blog post which utilizes this handy function but the guy who wrote it is unwilling for me to use his code, even with a credit. So I thought I'd Google about and try and find my own way of doing it.....but I can't find anything I can make head or tail of. Can anyone point me in the direction of some PS that can do this sort of thing, so I can put together my own bit of code for the blog post?
