Takes one PowerShell script and any number of supplementary files or even a directory and creates an exe using Windows's built in iexpress program. The exe will run on any machine with PowerShell 2.0+.

If you don't want to mess with the module, you can simply use the Create-EXEFrom.ps1 script. For details on advanced parameters, reference below.

Copy the repo into your modules directory (C:\Users<username>\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules) and then you will be able to import by typing Import-Module Create-EXEFromPS1 in PowerShell. If you wish for the module to be automatically imported you can enter Add-Content $profile 'Import-Module Create-EXEFromPS1' in PowerShell. The command can be run with New-EXEFromPS1.

To simply turn one ps1 into an exe, run with no parameters and you will be prompted to select the file from a file browser. For details on advanced parameters, reference below.

By default, if your scripts reference relative paths or you use $PSScriptRoot, the temporary directory that the exe's contents were extracted to will be used. To use the directory that the exe is run from, use $(Split-Path -Parent $args[0]).

PSScriptPath - Path string to PowerShell script that you want to use as the first thing iexpress calls when the exe is run. If blank, you will be prompted with a file browse dialog where you can select a file.

SupplementalFilePaths - Array of comma separated supplemental file paths that you want to include as resources.

SelectSupplementalFiles - Use this flag to be prompted to select the supplementary files in an Open File Dialog.

SupplementalDirectoryPath - Path to a directory that will be zipped and added as a supplementary file. When the exe is run, this script will first be unzipped and all files are available.

SelectSupplementalDirectory - Use this flag to be prompted to select a directory in an Open File Dialog that will be zipped and added as a supplementary file. When the exe is run, this script will first be unzipped and all files are available.

KeepTempDir - Keep the temp directory around after the exe is created. It is available at the root of C:.

x86 - Use the 32-bit iexpress path so that 32-bit PowerShell is consequently called. Intended for compatibility with older devices.

SigningCertificate - Sign all PowerShell scripts and subsequent executable with the defined certificate. Expected format of Cert:\CurrentUser\My\XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

OutputDirectory - Move the completed executable to the defined directory.

New-EXEFromPS1 -PSScriptPath .\test.ps1 -SupplementalFilePaths '..\test2.ps1', .\ps1toexe.ps1
# Creates an exe using the provided PowerShell script and supplemental files.

New-EXEFromPS1 -SelectSupplementalFiles
Prompts the user to select the PowerShell script and supplemental files using an Open File Dialog.

New-EXEFromPS1 -SupplementalDirectoryPath 'C:\Temp\MyTestDir' -KeepTempDir
# Zips MyTestDir and attaches it to the exe. When the exe is run, but before the user's script gets run, 
# it will be extracted to the same directory as the user's script. Temp directory used during exe creation
# will be left intact for user inspection or debugging purposes.

New-EXEFromPS1 -SelectSupplementalFiles -x86 -SigningCertificate Cert:\CurrentUser\My\XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX -OutputDirectory $env:userprofile\Desktop
# Prompts the user to select the PowerShell script and supplemental files using an Open File Dialog. Creates a 32-bit application using the 32-bit iexpress binary.
# If the defined script or supplemental files are PowerShell scripts they will be signed with the defined certificate. Once the executable is generated it will also
# be signed and moved to the specified output directory.

None that I'm aware of, but please let me know if you find any!
