Kix2Exe

The Kix2Exe application was designed to be a command line tool that will turn KiXtart scripts into self-executing (.exe) files.

There are several reasons why one would like to package their KiXtart scripts: - Ease of distribution: include all your script dependent files in a single (and small) executable file; - Ease of execution: no need to include batch files or specify commandline parameters to execute your script, just doubleclick the executable and your script is being executed; - Source code protection: scripts are pre-tokenised and password protected before they are included into a CRC-protected executable; - Added functionality: like automatic registration of the Kixforms.dll, the use of balloontips from within KiXtart scripts and resizing the console window to optimally suite your script output;

Installation Instructions: - Install Kix2Exe by running the Kix2Exe installer. The default installation path is C:Program FilesKix2Exe. - Inside the installation folder you will find a binkix subfolder. Put kix32.exe and wkix32.exe into the binkix folder. You need at least the KiXtart v4.51 executables because of the password protected pre-tokenising feature. - If you want to use the /kixforms parameter, put a copy of kixforms.dll (the Kixforms Classis DLL that is) into the binkixforms subfolder. - Optionally add the Kix2Exe installation folder to your %PATH% environment variable. This makes it easier to call Kix2Exe from where your scripts are located.
