Make EXE

Make EXE is a lightweight application with a fairly self-explanatory title. It can help you convert Powershell scripts, as well as batch scripts, to EXE files. It allows you to embed resource files and set custom icons.

The application stands out because of its straightforward design, as it makes it possible to perform conversions with just a couple of mouse clicks from the right-click context menu. Make EXE is a great choice for those who want to get the job done quickly.

Aside from embedding additional files, you can also define the assembly and file version, enter the product's name and description, as well as insert your company's name and copyright information.

When selecting the newly added menu item after right-clicking a PS1 or batch file, the application asks you whether or not all files in the script’s folder should be embedded as resources. Naturally, you should make sure no unnecessary files are stored in this location.

Thanks to this feature, it is possible to include resource files used by your scripts, as well as set a custom icon for the EXE file, by just placing them in the same directory.

Make EXE could hardly be simpler to set up, as you only need to bring up the main window and click the “Install” or “Remove” buttons. The “Make EXE” command will be added to the context menu instantly, and you can disable it at any time without having to restart your computer.

To sum up, Make EXE is a nifty piece of software that enables you to turn your PowerShell scripts or batch files into executables. It is very easy to use, and it gets the job done quickly and in an unobtrusive manner.
