 Chilkat Perl Module Downloads for Windows, Linux, and MAC OS X

Perl script to create an AES encrypted self-extracting EXE.

# file: SelfExtractExeAes.pl

use chilkat;

# Create a 128-bit AES encrypted self-extracting EXE
$zip = new chilkat::CkZip();
$zip->UnlockComponent("anything for 30-day trial");

# Set the Encryption property = 4
$zip->put_Encryption(4);
# The key length can be 128, 192, or 256.
$zip->put_EncryptKeyLength(128);
$zip->SetPassword("secret");

# Calling NewZip does not actually create a file on disk.  The filename
# argument indicates the name of the zip file name to be created when
# WriteZip is called.  However, in this example, WriteExe is called instead,
# so the zip filename is meaningless.
$zip->NewZip("notUsed.zip");
$zip->AppendFiles("exampleData2/*",true);

# Write the self-extracting EXE
$zip->WriteExe("example.exe");
