Or try out ASE (The Admin Script Editor Home Page -
http://www.adminscripteditor.com/main.asp)...

Limited language support (vbscript, kix, autoit, and bat) but it does have a
script packager that builds an EXE (much like C&D #1).

If you like it, cost is $99 US.

I've used it and it works as advertised. My main complaint is the limited
language/file format support (see above and no support for
wsf/wsc/htm/hta/asp)...
