Converting macro into Executable file for the installer

[akhtar07]

Hello Guys,

I am dealing with one situation, it's kinda of a challenge for me but i don't know how or where to start!!

I have generated macros for different functions and commands, also toolbar and buttons linked to these macros (CATIA and Rhino).

What i want to do is:

1. Create .exe (executable files) for all these macros, so my configurations are also linked to it like (toolbar and buttons)
2. Put them in one folder (which is easy)
3. Create an installer for these macros, so other users can install and work along

Guys please help me out. Your opinion is of great value to me.

Warm regards,
Akhtar Aziz

Hi,

CATScript, catvbs, catvba ?

CATScript - no way
catvbs - you can obfuscate them, this is the simple way
catvba - protect by password - easy to crack...

For exe files...write what you have in those macros directly in vb.net , make a portable exe app (no installation need it, no additional toolbars in CATIA...). Search the forum, if I remember correctly I posted few time ago some pictures about that...

Thanks mate.

Is it possible to put them in an installer by not converting them to .exe files ?

Warm regards,

What do you want to do finally? Only share macros? Toolbars? Protect them?

Yeah, well i got the info that you can put your files, macros and toolbars into an installer and make it executable for others, without creating separate .exe file.

What i did is:

1. I have generated macros for different functions and operations
2. I have generated toolbars in CATIA and Rhino

What i want is:

1. Create an installer that will allow other users to install my configurations on their system without importing data
2. The Installer will install the toolbars and create folders on the particular locations as I have on my drive, take an example of games or CATIA software or plug-ins.

I hope it is clear now.
