title: How can I convert a VBScript to an executable (EXE) file?
body: <p>I'd looked around for information to convert a VBScript <code>(*.vbs)</code> to an executable and realised that most of the tools available are actually wrapping the script in the executable. Tried a few tools and it didn't worked as well as expected. I tried IExpress (in Windows XP) to create the Win32 self extraction cab file but it didn't invoke properly on Windows 7 machines.</p>
  
  <p>So I am looking for a way to compile the vbs into exe. I am trying to port my current script into VB Express 2008 but I have no prior knowledge of Visual Basic here. There are a lot of errors but I am still trying around.</p>
  
  <p>Can anyone please advice on how should I proceed from here? I mean, would a <strong>self extracting archive</strong> be the way to go instead of a <strong>standalone executable file</strong>? But say like Winzip I don't know how to make it run the script after extraction.</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas?</p>
