Thanks for all the comments guys.Shawn I never bothered to convert the date math stuff as the functionality is duplicated in the ScriptLogic SerialDate() UDF. Peter you should be able to run any command as the interpreter. To ensure that the options are not used by KiXcrypt enclose the command in speech marks. Something like:
code:
kixcrypt myscript.kix "wkix32.exe -i .\%%s"
should work. If you are having trouble with the command line use the "-d" flag to generate crypted.exe. When you run crypted.exe it will display the command line it is using.cj I considered including the kix32 executable earlier on but decided against it. It didn't really add anything so I didn't bother. Having said that it would be very simple to have an option to include the binary (any binary for that matter). For KiXtart specifically there are a couple of issues: 1) Win9x clients will need to have the DLLs present. 2) After all his good works I really don't want to undermine Ruuds "CareWare" policy, and a tool that allows a hidden distribution of KiXtart, however benign, would make me uneasy. Maybe I'm being too sensitive, I dunno. Ruud, if you are following this thread maybe you'd like to comment. I'm in two minds about it. If there is enough interest and no objections I'll add the functionality and leave it to the user's conscience. [ 04 December 2001: Message edited by: Richard Howarth ]

I've just tried out version 002.06 and find it very usefull except for the fact that the temp file is created in the same directory. Is it possible to specify %temp% or something to change this into a path where users have write access? I want to use this to encrypt my SU script so that users can install programs under admin account, but now I must create a batch file that moves the users to his/hers temp dir and then fire up the encrypted .exe file

27 March 2002 Version 2.12b released Changes
- Feature: The temporary file now overwrites itself before deleting, to avoid exposing the script with undelete utilities.
- A warning message is issues if the temporary script file does not delete itself, then the file is overwritten and deleted by the controlling program. If the "-k" option has been used the file is overwritten and deleted silently.

Ahh, there are a couple of problems with the GetS() and Execute() solution.
The first is that I've no idea how KiXtart will manage variable scopes, functions and subroutines when the script is being executed that way. Not to mention loops, conditional structures and so-on. It would work for a strictly linear monolithic script, but I suspect anything more complicated is doomed to failure.
The other more simple problem is what to do when your script has a "Get()" or "GetS()" in it! If you execute them they will pick up the next bit of decrypted script as input
