The Kix2Exe-GUI application was developed to be a graphical frontend for the commandline kix2exe.exe. By using this graphical frontend there's no need to work on the commandline to package your scripts!
Note: Kix2Exe-Gui requires Kix2Exe to function. The GUI is 'just' a frontend application to easily read, configure and write packaging settings to scripts and to package scripts to executable packages without manually typing in a whole list of parameters on the commandline. Of course existing functionality like editor integration is still available in Kix2Exe.
Kix2Exe-Gui accepts the folowing two parameters:
/script - targets the GUI to the script specified on the commandline.
/read - read the packaging settings comment block from the script (optional)
Here are some key features of "Kix2Exe GUI":
· Read packaging settings from the packaging settings comment block in the script into the GUI;
· Edit / change packaging settings in the GUI and write them back to the script;
· Package a script directly from the GUI; Kix2Exe packaging output is captured and shown inside the GUI;
· Update the packaging settings comment block of previous Kix2Exe versions to the version required by your current version of Kix2Exe;
· Pass parameters (/script and /read) to Kix2Exe-Gui to target a specific KiXtart script and automaticaly read its packaging settings into the GUI;
· Shell Integration that allows you to package your KiXtart scripts from within Windows Explorer;
· Generate Kix2Exe commandline strings.
Requirements:
· NET Framework 2.0
· Kix2Exe
