My latest bpmtk post got some people to ask me for the VBscript. I’ll do better, I’m posting the Python program I wrote to generate the script. You can download it here.
You have to provide it 2 arguments: the name of the executable to embed and the name of the VBscript to generate, like this:
file2vbscript cmd.exe cmd.vbs
This will generate a VBscript that will write cmd.exe to the current directory and execute it (create a new process). If you want to load a DLL in stead of executing an EXE, use the -l option:
file2vbscript -l mydll.dll mydll.vbs
And to use it in an Office application (Office VBA doesn’t take long subs), use the option -o:
file2vbscript -ol mydll.dll mydll.vbs
This will split the embedded file over several subs, to accommodate for the size limitation of Office VBscripts.

Very cool stuff, Didier!

Go to the developer menu and select VBA.

Awesome! Please how do I run the file2vbscript.py properly in command prompt? I keep getting the error below:
File “C:\Demo\file2vbscript.py”,line 42, in Main
infile = open
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: ‘myfilename.exe’
Please what am I doing wrong? Please help. Thank you.

@Sammy The command did not find your myfile.exe. Did you copy it in your working folder?
Comment by Didier Stevens — Friday 28 August 2015 @ 21:26
Yes, I did. I copied 2 files; file2vbscript.py and myfile.exe in Demo folder. Please what could be wrong?
Comment by Sammy — Friday 28 August 2015 @ 22:52
@Sammy and you are in the c:\demo folder? e.g, you typed cd c:\demo?

Thanks. I figured it out. Is it possible to silent the Security Warning: Macros have be disabled Enable Content in Office when document is opened? I want the vbscript to execute the moment Office document is opened. Can this be achieved? Thanks again.

@Sammy Yes, that’s simple, you configure MS Office to enable macros. Google can help you with that.

Please I need your help on how to reduce the output size of the VBS. My .exe file size is 1.3-1.5MB. Whenever I embed my .exe file, the VBS output size is around 5.2-6MB. Please help me reduce output size to around 2.5-3MB? I impatiently await your reply. Thank you.

I can not make the vbs smaller. You have to make your exe smaller.

Thank you for the reply. Do you know of any program that can make my exe smaller?
