I had been using BAT-TO-EXE Converter v4.2.0.0 for a long time before I heard about Quick Batch File Compiler.
I created a batch file that removes many non-English resources from the Risoh Resource Editor (a great resource editor, which is also free). The batch file calls Resource Hacker (another great resource editor) to do the removal of resources.
With BAT–TO–EXE Converter v4.2.0.0, the process took 15 seconds to complete. With Quick Batch File Compiler, it takes 4 seconds. In fact, the Quick Batch File Compiler-compiled batch file completed its work so quickly, I thought something went wrong. I repeated the process again to see what happened. It turns out that Quick Batch File Compiler really is that much faster!
It is the only compiler that does not unpack your batch file to a temporary folder.
This is a killer feature!
All of the batch file compilers I have tested before are fake. They simply unpacked the script into a temporary folder and ran it through cmd.exe. Consequently, the execution speed of the script did not change, and its source could be viewed by anyone.
Immediately after the release of the new version of QBFC, I compiled some scripts and compared the execution speed with cmd.exe. The speed is noticeably different, which means it is really compiled. It's too early to talk about 100% compatibility with the system interpreter, but they don't lie about compilation.
all three of my antivirus programs thinks this program creates viruses, and blocks all .exe made from it.
Sad. Unable to use anywhere.
The latest beta is incredible! The first real compiler for batch files! I look forward to the final release.
This is one of the very first compilers converting bat to exe. Almost all new features originally appeared in it and then copied by other authors. The latest beta version is a move to a new level. Just imagine - these guys could make an optimizing compiler for batch files! I look forward to the final release!
