I just completed the first beta release of Kix2Exe (v1.00 BETA), based on Nullsoft Installer (NSIS). The previous release was based on WinRARS. Since NSIS is freeware, using Kix2Exe is now completely free.

The feature list of Kix2Exe is also extended. Here's a list of the parameters it accepts:

Code:
 

(/infile mykixscript.kix)(/outfile myexepackage.exe)(/icon myiconfile.ico)
(/kix wkix32|kix32)(/include @file|file1,file2)(/consoletitle title)
(/consolehide on|off)(/consoleclose on|off)(/consolesize w,h)
(/runasuser username)(/runaspassword password)(/runasinteractive on|off)
(/package-name name string) (/package-desc description string)
(/package-version version string)(/package-copyright copyright string)
(/batchmode on|off)(/help)(/?)



Features:


  • Creates single executable packages from your kix script
  • Adds CRC check to the package to prevent tampering
  • Uses LZMA compression and UPX header compression to create small executables
  • Pretokenises and passoword protects the kix script with a random strong password
  • Add the ability to auto include additional files into your package
  • Select your own icon file to use for the exe package
  • Set the title of the console window
  • Resize the console window to a size that suits your script output
  • Create silent installers to run background tasks, no console output is shown to the end-user
  • Run your script with administrator rights by using CPAU
  • Read values from the command-line utilities by using the GetK2EParam() function inside your script
  • Automate the packaging process by using batchmode, no console window is shown and errorlevels are set afther the build process
  • $EXEPath, $EXEName and $EXEParam variables are available in the packaged KIX script
  • Brand your package with name, description, version and copyright strings


Hope you like it. I've added a little help file with the installation explaining how it all should work, but I hope most of it is self-explaining. :-)

Considering this is a beta release, please test before using Kix2Exe or the packaged scripts in a production enviroment. If you find any bugs, please let me know!
