With PS2EXE.ps1 originally created by Ingo Karstein you can compile Powershell scripts to real Windows executables. Win-PS2EXE is a small graphical front end to the script.

• WPF application that compiles without Visual Studio or MSBuild on every Windows with .Net 3.5x or .Net 4.x
• only one source file
• drag'n'drop for file names
• separate .Net 4.x and .Net 3.5x versions (since .Net 3.5x do not allow uncompiled event handlers in XAML)

Run Compile.bat (in a .Net 3.5x environment use the version in folder DotNet3.5).

Ensure PS2EXE.ps1 is in the same directory as Win-PS2EXE.exe.

Start Win-PS2EXE.exe and fill in the desired fields (only Source file is mandatory).

Click Compile, a powershell window opens and your powershell script will be compiled to an executable.
