Attention: Incorrect virus detection

Some (really) stupid idiot seems to have abused PS2EXE to compile his computer virus script. As a result, a rapidly growing number of virus scanners recognize programs created with PS2EXE as malicious programs and delete them.

There is only one hope to save the PS2EXE project: Please send your (harmless) programs created with PS2EXE via the web forms from the virus scanners’ vendors for reporting false positives (I’ve already done it with some of them, please use only the false positive page)!

If this is not successful, then I will have to quit PS2EXE as nobody can use it anymore.

Thank you for your support

Installation

PS C:\> Install-Module ps2exe

(on Powershell V4 you may have to install PowershellGet before) or download from here: https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/ps2exe/.

Usage

Invoke-ps2exe .\source.ps1 .\target.exe

or

ps2exe .\source.ps1 .\target.exe

compiles “source.ps1” into the executable target.exe (if “.\target.exe” is omitted, output is written to “.\source.exe”).

or start Win-PS2EXE for a graphical front end with

Win-PS2EXE
