PS1ToEXE module: Convert your PowerShell project to an EXE

Reply A+ A-

In this post, I will show you a quick module I created that allows you to create an EXE from a PowerShell project.
This allows you to run a PS1 file from an EXE, add an icon, and also a password.

Prerequisites
For now the EXE file is an SFX archive build with WinRAR meaning Winrar is required.
Even if WinRar prompts you for a licence, it's not mandatory, you can still use it :-)

Known issue
Your EXE may be considered as a Trojan by your antivirus.
In fact, it's false positive report.
See below some articles about this subject:

How to get the module ?
The module PS1ToEXE is available in the PowerShell Gallery.
To intall it type install-module ps1toexe, as below:


How to use it ?
The module contains one commandlet, called EXE, as you can see below.

See below how to use it:

What's next ?
In the next version, I will add other ways than WinRAR to build the EXE like 7Zip, nsis and some C# libraries.
You will then be able to choose the way you want to proceed.
