IExpress Technology and the IExpress Wizard

Create Executable Wrappers with IExpress in Windows Vista and Windows XP

You can turn scripts into redistributable executable files with existing software in Windows Vista and Windows XP. Windows Vista and Windows XP both have a rarely used tool known as IExpress. The tool allows you to wrap an executable file around your scripts so that you can distribute any script as an .exe rather than distributing a "raw" script file (.bat, .vbs, etc.). This eliminates the need of explaining to non-technical users how to execute scripts through the Command Prompt. This is an extremely useful tool for turning Visual Basic script files and other non-executable scripts into one-click executables. If you would like to learn more information about IExpress, you can read the documentation at Microsoft TechNet
