With PS2EXE.ps1 originally created by Ingo Karstein you can compile Powershell scripts to real Windows executables. Win-PS2EXE is a small graphical front end to the script.

Features and restrictions:

WPF application that compiles without Visual Studio or MSBuild on every Windows with .Net 3.5x or .Net 4.x
only one source file
drag'n'drop for file names
separate .Net 4.x and .Net 3.5x versions (since .Net 3.5x do not allow uncompiled event handlers in XAML)

How to compile:

Run Compile.bat (in a .Net 3.5x environment use the version in folder DotNet3.5).

How to use:

Ensure PS2EXE.ps1 is in the same directory as Win-PS2EXE.exe.

Start Win-PS2EXE.exe and fill in the desired fields (only Source file is mandatory).

Click Compile, a powershell window opens and your powershell script will be compiled to an executable.
