Turn a script into an .exe file?

Hi,
How can I turn a JavaScript into an .exe file (on Windows)? The
advantage is that if the script uses only ScriptUI features, it will
never need to launch InDesign. Additionally, it is possible to package
it that way with a special icon that appears if it is placed on the
desktop, and when it runs the icon appears in the taskbar.
An example of what I'd look to achieve is the hyphenchecker script,
written by the late Teus de Jong. There is one Windows-only version
available on his website (which is still being maintained, probably by
his son) which is an .exe file -- precisely what I'm trying to do.
Thanks,
Ariel

straight form javascript i don't think there is a way.
however you can use, i think, Visual Basic (not vbScript!!) as a wrapper for js (using doScript)?

Basically what i want to do is have a flash-created

Compiling JAVA into Windows .exe files

Hi,
Here's an easy question - how do you compile JAVA source into Windows .exe files (as opposed to class files with bytecode in them). I imagine there is a third-party product out there somewhere?

A Bayesian network is a mathematical representation of logical inference.
A very simple example has two nodes: "has tail" and "is horse", connected by a single link. If we know "is horse" is true, then it nearly always follows that "has tail" is also true. This is called modus ponens in logic. If we know "has tail" is true, then "is horse" might be true, but it might not. To infer that "is horse" is true in such a case is to commit what is called the fallacy of affirming the consequent, in logic. However, using Bayes' theorem, which would require that we know some general information about the prevelance of horses among tailed animals, and the general prevalence of horses among things in general, we can measure the exact increase in the probability that "is horse" is true that results from our knowing "has tail" to be true.
For more information, see http://www.bayesian.org
The classic book on the subject is Judea Pearl, Probabilistic Reasoning in Intelligent Systems.

How to turn a Java Application an .exe file?

Hello, I'am just above new commer in Java world. I was wondering if anyone could help me. I just developed an application in java, how can I turn it into exe file? is there a way I can run this application without the "Command" promt (window) running?
Pls. help my email address is "[email protected]"
Any assistance will be largely appreciated.

you can try the J++ compiler provided with the JBuilder from Microsoft but this is just compiling the java to C++. to create a standalone exe is as far as I know impossible. U can try to use a jar-archive (create with the sdk) and if a Java Virtual Machine is installed (normally with every popular web-browser) it will run with a doubleclick

How to pack .class or .jar with jvm into an exe file?

In fact, .class or .jar files are middle layer files who need JVM to explain and run them. Sometimes it's unconvenient. Why not provide some tools to pack .class or .jar with jvm into exe file?

because java should be able to run on any OS. That is why SUN doesn't provide such tool. There are other company's who does provide such tool. Like JBuilder enterprise

Multiple projects combined into one .exe file

Hi there.
I'm new to Captivate and have a task that is just daunting to
me. I have a very lengthy CBT which I do not want to build using a
menu, but rather a continuous string of lessons that prints a
certificate of completion at the end. I am faced with several large
file sizes that will not fit in one project (I've kept each project
less than 55 slides & cleaned up the unused library items).
However, I need to publish to only one .exe file, and it doesn't
seem like daisy chain-ing fits my requirement (for just one .exe
file). Is this even possible, and how do I do this in Captivate3?
(My Flash skills are nil.)
Thanks in advance for your reply.

Welcome to our community, Georgia
Sorry, but there is no way to consolidate all the files into
a single file unless you combine them into a huge gnarly project.
The only option that would seem to make sense is to daisy-chain
them together, but it seems you have precluded this.
Cheers... Rick

.class file into the .exe file - simplest possiblity ???

Dear All,
I have a java program....and the compiled ".class" file for this....basically, it is a Frame..i will run this said program from my command prompt like,
C:\java megalaunch
...the frame will appear now....
what i want to know is .............Is it possible to change this said class file, in to an .exe file...so that, (instead of going for a command prompt for running the said program) i can just double click the said .exe file and start that said Frame....
pl. post a reply,
Sakthivel S.
P.S: I dont want to use the batch file option for the above...

Easier (and more reliable, smaller. etc) than creating an executable .exe file is to create a Windows (desktop) shortcut to the GUI program, or create an executable .jar that packages your GUI. Both are executable/clickable solutions.
Use a desktop shortcut or an executable jar file:

Turning Upload script into multiple upload script

Hi all,
I would like to change the following script so it is able to handle 2 file uploads. With a basic understanding of PHP, this is a bit beyond me and you may laugh and the initial attempt (found at the the bottom of the post).
Here is the original script for one upload:
<?php
//this is the directory where the images images will be saved
$target = "../IMAGES/books/";
$target = $target . basename( $_FILES['imageURL']['name']);
// this gets all the other info from the form
$name=$_POST['name'];
$publication=$_POST['publication'];
$year=$_POST['year'];
$desc=$_POST['description'];
$link=$_POST['linkToBuy'];
$price=$_POST['price'];
$pic=($_FILES['imageURL']['name']);
// Connects to your Database
mysql_connect("localhost:8889", "root", "root") or die(mysql_error()) ;
mysql_select_db("keithMcCarthy") or die(mysql_error()) ;
//Writes the information to the database
mysql_query("INSERT INTO books (name,publication,year,description,linkToBuy,price,imageURL)
VALUES ('$name', '$publication', '$year', '$desc', '$link', '$price', '$pic')") ;
//Writes the photo to the server
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['imageURL']['tmp_name'], $target))
          $note['success'] = 'The file '. basename( $_FILES['imageURL']['name']). ' has been uploaded, and your information has been added to the directory';
else {
          //Give an error if it's not
          $note['error'] = 'Sorry, there was a problem uploading your file.';
?>
Here is my attempt - it sends everything to the database but does not upload the file and gives an error "Sorry, there was a problem uploading your file." At leat that is working.
<?php
//this is the directory where the images images will be saved
$target = "../IMAGES/books/";
$targetTwo = "../IMAGES/books/";
$target = $target . basename( $_FILES['imageURL']['name']);
$targetTwo = $target . basename( $_FILES['imageURLtwo']['name']);
// this gets all the other info from the form
$name=$_POST['name'];
$publication=$_POST['publication'];
$year=$_POST['year'];
$desc=$_POST['description'];
$link=$_POST['linkToBuy'];
$price=$_POST['price'];
$pic=($_FILES['imageURL']['name']);
$picTwo=($_FILES['imageURLtwo']['nameTwo']);
// Connects to your Database
mysql_connect("localhost:8889", "root", "root") or die(mysql_error()) ;
mysql_select_db("keithMcCarthy") or die(mysql_error()) ;
//Writes the information to the database
mysql_query("INSERT INTO books (name,publication,year,description,linkToBuy,price,imageURL,imageURLtwo)
VALUES ('$name', '$publication', '$year', '$desc', '$link', '$price', '$pic', '$picTwo')") ;
//Writes the photo to the server
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['imageURL']['tmp_name'], $target))
$note['success'] = 'The file '. basename( $_FILES['imageURL']['name']). ' has been uploaded, and your information has been added to the directory';
else {
//Give an error if it's not
$note['error'] = 'Sorry, there was a problem uploading your file.';
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['imageURLTwo']['tmp_name'], $targetTwo))
$note['success'] = 'The file '. basename( $_FILES['imageURLTwo']['name']). ' has been uploaded, and your information has been added to the directory';
else {
//Give an error if it's not
$note['error'] = 'Sorry, there was a problem uploading your file.';
?>

Thank you for your help, trulfy!
However, I am so new to all this that I don't really even understand your reply or how to do it...
Maybe you could put it in more simplistic terms/steps?
Thank you anyway!

Turning DVD Player into a .mov file?

Rencectly,I recorded from my camera and converted it into a program named "DVD Player" and it only opens with it,when I insert the disc it shows it up,but the disk has files named "VIDEO_TS" and "VIDEO_RM" Is there anyway to convert it into a .mov? Here are the files that are inside these files:
VIDEO_RM
VIDEO_TS

The presence of the Video_ files indicates that this is a DVD that is meant to be played in a DVD player.
If the disk is not a commercial product then there are programs available that will rip the dvd and make it possible to convert it.
Discussions about doing this are not allowed here (in fact this post may not make it). The best I can say is google what you are looking to do.

Turn my .class files into .exe file

Does anyone know a good install shield program for Java? I'm currently using a program called Install4J. But the problem is that after I installed the program all my .class files are basically copied into the destination folder. Is there a program that can combine all the .class files into an .exe file or maybe a library file? Thanks
Bohua

gee, that's never been asked before... good thing you didn't waste precious time searching the forums first.

we have got below steps from one of adobe person :
Steps.
can you please explaine clearly The above steps and how can we generate PDF for a FM file without manual intervention .
the actual requirement is :
1) Goto installed location of FM and launch framemaker with specified process id.
eg : $Installdir\FrameMaker.exe /progid:MyProcess
2) Build the asynchronous client exe\dll with the help from attached sample client.
3) Goto the location where client exe is copied and then run with specified FM process id.
eg : asynch_script.exe MyProcess
To resolve few dependencies, you can also copy the client exe to installed location of FM. So the above step in that case would be
$Installdir\ asynch_script.exe MyProcess
Hi All , We are going for upgrade of Frame maker 8 which is on unix system to FM 10 or 11. We are using Framemaker mainly for renditions, i.e to convert the fm documents to PDF. To convert fm document to PDF we are using the below mentioned command line utility available in FM 8.(on unix). /opt/app/frame8.0/bin/fmprint -i -p Sample.fm.fmtpl Sample.fm Currently the the fm file which need to converted to PDF and the FM 8(installed) are available on the same unix system ,so we were able to initiate/use the command line utility of FM 8. The rendition of the FM to PDF is On -Demand.( We are not running any batch activities/ bulk renditions).We are rendering the document as soon as the document is available. As we upgrade the FM to newer versions which would be installed on the Windows machine as Frame maker 10 or 11 will not support unix plat form, so can you please let us know which option is better to use i.e we want to convert fm file to PDF using java program without any manual intevention . we came to know that about FDK and extend scripts but we are very new to those !! could you please any one can provide us ways and provide us sample codes/scripts to convert FM file to PDF !! and please let us know which one is better client / server version to do this .
please heklp us as it is very important

Ramesh
I am not clear which platform that you are asking this question for. Here is an answer for Windows.
The icuuc32.dll is one of several unicode support libraries. These files are usually included in same directory as FrameMaker.exe (e.g. c:\Program Files\Adobe\FrameMaker11).
If your asynchronous client is located in any other directory than this directory, icuuc32.dll will not be found when your asynchronous client starts. You need to set your Windows environment "Path" variable to include it's location (e.g. c:\Program Files\Adobe\FrameMaker 11). The "Path" will be searched when your asynchronous client starts and these files should then be found.
with Windows Vista (I think Windows 7 in the same) the "Path" is set in Control Panel | System | Advanced System Settings | Environment Variables. I would suggest adding C:\Program Files\FrameMaker11 to the "Path" in the system variables.
There will be several files in this directory that your asynchronous client needs to start.
Hope this helps
