Converts Windows batch scripts (or HTA) into executable files
Slapping those quick and dirty batch scripts into executable programs, one at a time...
The Batchman converts Windows batch or HTA files into compressed executable files, with the following options :
The Batchman distribution is itself a HTA/JS application packaged into a nice executable file right here : Download
Simply run thebatchman.exe and fill in the form. The application will output the executable file to the same folder where your batch/HTA file resides.
completion
and a few lines at the end of your batch script starting a small HTA alert box when it reaches it.
So think of adding goto completion
in your script instead of goto:eof
if you want this feature to work correctly.
The Batchman used to parse the script and rewrite goto:eof
into goto completion
, but it had obvious side effects with some subroutines, so it's better you do that manually.
Tested on Windows 10 x64, but should work on every Windows up to XP SP2 (x86 or x64), as long as you have Internet Explorer 8 or more recent.

This application is for "quick and dirty" purposes. Both HTA and Batch are legacy technologies, even if they're still supported on modern Windows platforms.
