Ahem...

How do I use it
Read the documentation. Go on. I know it's boring...

To save you the trouble, here is the gen:
If you are encrypting a later version of KiXtart you have @SCRIPTDIR available. If you are not (or are not encrypting KiXtart at all) there are three environment variables set which you can use:
- %KIXCRYPTVER% - The version of KiXcrypt used to create the package
- %KIXCRYPTFILE% - The fully qualified path of the unencrypted primary file.
- %KIXCRYPTDIR% - The directory where the files are unpacked.

ok I know I am not going crazy because I did read the doc's and tried those enviroment variables ![[Smile]](images/icons/smile.gif)
code:
break on
"press ctrl+c to stop" ?
? "%KIXCRYPTVER%"
? "%KIXCRYPTFILE%"
? "%KIXCRYPTDIR%"
and I ran this after kixcrypt.
code:
C:\Jossh\online\JGRot-script>dir *.exe /b
jgrot-script.exe
C:\Jossh\online\JGRot-script>jgrot-script
Decrypting from KiXcrypt version 003.00b
KiXcrypt author: Richard Howarth (rhowarth@sgb.co.uk)
press ctrl+c to stop
003.00b
C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\FLSIYBRJ.kix
C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\LOCALS~1\Temp
C:\Jossh\online\JGRot-script>
I need to know where the EXE file was ran from.

Ok, so now I'm confused ![[Roll Eyes]](images/icons/rolleyes.gif)
Do you mean that if your (encrypted) command is called "secure.exe" and is called from the netlogon share of "MYSERVER" you want to see the path \\MYSERVER\netlogon\secure.exe ?
Why would you want to do that? Are you trying to locate some additional files?
I'll add an extra environment variable in the next release if you would find it truly useful.

I have been using kixcrypt to make stand alone exe packages ![[Big Grin]](images/icons/grin.gif) this lets me make secure code and a easy one click run for my users.
Yes I have config files that are local to the location of the exe file that I would like to be able to access. For now i have set the temp directory to equal "." just as a temp fix.

Dear,
The only issue is "how can we use administrator's username and password in
a secure way".
In some situations we have implement a short program which can be compiled
and which can be maked extremly secure. This program can verify in a fast
way "running on correct server", "username/password expires automatically",
"running at a certain time" and a lot of other checks are possible before
we create a child process, which executes a KiXcrypt output file with the
proper username/password combination.
KiXCrypt can handle parameters and new environment variables will be crea-
ted.
Of course we extend the program in such a way, that CTRL-C of CTRL-break
doesn't have any effect on it.
Our call looks like kixshell.exe update.exe or kixshell update.
For installation and updates we are using always a very specific user.
An user which can be disabled immediatly. An user which doesn't need to
be active without your knowledge.
greetings.
