Probably the cleanest approach would be to download the Free Borland Compiler (http://www.borland.com/bcppbuilder/freecompiler/) and write the program using the Platform SDK which is also free (http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/platformsdk/sdkupdate/). Typical GUI app (8 screens) with winsock libraries statically linked would produce about a 150KB executable. The resulting program will run faster and be much smaller than EXEs produced with the other alternatives.
#Python has tools to bundle everything up (py2exe) into an exe file #so you can even create an installer just like a regular windows program. #(Of course, the resulting executable, even for a small program, will be larger than #normal because it will bundle the python libraries). The point is you can #create apps that behave just like regular GUI programs and the user won't #even be aware you're using Python. # >>Another option is to use either Java's AWT or Swing GUI libraries.. With >>the correct tool, you can also build a native version of your application, >>taking away the need for a separately instead JVM. _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
