CStExe
CStExe, C# to Exe, will compile any C# script to a Windows executable. Specifically CStExe was created to quickly create executable launchers for batch files and non-native Windows applications such as Java jar files. If you are knowledgable in the C# scripting language you can create a wide variety of functional executables, if you're just looking to create a launcher for other applications, such as Python or Java, edit the included C# example, in the example directory, to point to your application or batch file then compile the script with CStExe.
Optionally CStExe will embed an icon, in the .ico format, with your executables plus you may select to hide or display the console when running your executable. CStExe requires Microsoft .NET 2.0 or higher along with the Java Runtime Environment 8 update 25 or higher. Compiled executables will not require those components unless, of course, the application you're running with the executable depends upon .NET and Java.
Update 1/20/2015
If you're looking to create an executable launcher for your Java Jar files check out the new Jar Template available under the Download column in the upper right of this page.
The Jar Launcher template can be lightly edited for use with your own jar applications. When compiled with CStExe this template will launch your jar applications directly and pass any command line arguments to your jar. Before launching the jar this script will first check if Java is installed and if so that it is greater than or equal to the appropriate version of Java.
If Java is either not found or found to be an incompatible version this script will prompt the user to download the JRE installer, if the user opts to download the script will open the default browser and begin downloading the JRE installer. This script will check if the executable is running on a 32-bit or 64-bit version of Windows and check the appropriate 32-bit and/or 64-bit registries for Java. If the user selects to download the installer this script will direct the user to the appropriate 32-bit or 64-bit JRE installer.
