    Hi Bill,

    Please take a look to the following output:

    --

    C:\temp>type sample.vbs

    WScript.Echo "Hello World!"

     

    C:\temp>cscript sample.vbs

    Microsoft (R) Windows Script Host Version 5.7

    Hello World!

     

    C:\temp>"c:\Program Files\Windows Script Encoder\screnc.exe" sample.vbs encode.v

    bs

     

    C:\temp>cscript encode.vbs

    Microsoft (R) Windows Script Host Version 5.7

    Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

     

    C:\temp\encode.vbs(1, 1) Microsoft VBScript compilation error: Expected statemen

    t

     

    Am I missing something?

     

    Thanks,

    Doria

    It looks like the documentation is bad here. Try specifying .vbe as the file extension for your encoded script (e.g., "encode.vbe").

    Please stop asking the same incorrect question over and over.  The answer is that you cannot download them they are included in every system.

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    screnc.exe does NOT exist.  You have to script it.  Older systems and some sites may still have copies of the old exe.  It does not exists on the Windows site anymore.

    If it does exixt or has been installed it will be here as everyone has posted:
    c:\Program Files\Windows Script Encoder\screnc.exe

    It will be on some older versions of XP.  It will al,ost nevber befound on WS2003 and Never on Windows Vista and later.

    Use the encoder control.  That is available on all systems.

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    The Script Encoder is not supported in Windows Vista or Windows 7.

    This works flawless, create encoder.vbs and drag your source(s) scripts to Encoder.vbs and they will be encoded... at least obfuscated from curious eyes... not from "real" hackers though.
