The /launch feature is good to use if you have a program that needs to be launched with specific command line parameters.
The new exe will be saved there with the name you selected. Navigate to where you want to save the new exe and click Open. Be sure to place quotes if the filename and/or path contains spaces, so that it will launch properly.Īfter you provide the command, you’ll be prompted for the name and location of the exe file it will create. It will first prompt you for the command you want to run. First, run converttoexe.exe /launch (you can do this from the Run… command in your Windows Start menu). launch allows you to just specify a command you want to place into an exe. There is one command line parameter you can use when launching converttoexe.exe: /launch If you are converting a batch file to exe (or some other console program), you’ll be pleased to know that the exe file the tool generates never displays the command line window. The tool will create an exe file in the same directory where the file you are converting to exe is located. Just launch the exe, navigate to the file you want to convert to an EXE and select it. I then realized that it might be useful to expand the tool to convert batch files to exe, or any other kind of file for that matter. The reason I wanted to do this was to add a Java application to nu (a fork of the Suite). Initially, I wanted just to convert a VBScript into an executable file.
It then dawned on me that I could use 7zSD and some VBScript to create a tool to automate it.

I had read a few forum posts and tutorials on how to do this with self-extracting installers, and I even managed to do it with a 7-zip tool called 7zSD. If you’re a geek like me, you may on occasion have run into a situation where you had a file that you needed to convert to exe.
