What is thinBundle?

 

thinBundle is a thinBasic tool and module able to create stand alone executables scripts.

 

thinBundle IS NOT A COMPILER. No machine code will be produced.

thinBundle will create a kind of closed, compressed, crypted executable file containing all the resources a script needs in order to be executed without having thinBasic installed in the target machine. The .exe file produced, will be like a box containing all the files needed to execute the script (dll, modules, sources, thinBasic exe, ...).

 

How does it works?

 

More details will be given later on this aspect.

 

How does executable produced by thinBundle will work?

 

When an exe file created by thinBundle will be executed, a special minimal runtime start.

This runtime will extract on disk all files included in bundled exe. All files extracted will have hidden attribute on.

Runtime will than execute the main script.

After execution, all extracted files will be deleted.
