PS2EXE-GUI

This project provides a advanced graphical user interface for PS2EXE, which is a PowerShell-script to Windows-executable converter (ps1→exe).

Development Progress

PS2EXE-GUI is still in development but is usable.

As you may have noticed, the project has not been updated for a while. I will get back to it as soon as possible. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

Footnotes

1. Allows you to choose, if the user can extract the .ps1 out of the .exe file. Is and will not be supported by PS2EXE by default (issue), but PS2EXE-GUI takes care of this. ↩
