Sorry for the late reply;
Have tried many times but have not succeeded;

I wonder if I can get your help again.

I want to convert my own powershell script to an .exe executable so that it can be run directly;
Hope the engineer can provide any of the following help:
- ps1 conversion exe free open source tool software download connection; (Recommended)
- Use the existing system environment of Windows11 to execute the corresponding command conversion; (If the system does not need to rely on third-party open source tools can also be implemented)
Above, hope to get your help, thank you;

Thank you very much for your help with my questions;
I did the experiment, but unfortunately reported an error, so the target PS file did not achieve the target of converting to EXE file;
Please refer to the source code and save information below:
$uname = ".\administrator"
$pwd = ConvertTo-SecureString "TEbatddddddd1@671￥" -AsPlainText –Force
$cred = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential( $uname , $pwd )
Start-Process -FilePath "c:\bl.bat" -Credential $cred
Note: The main function of this PS code is to run the BitLocker command with administrator permission to lock the hard disk D drive;
Hope to get your professional help again;

Please try to change your password or verify that the user is Local Administrator
Also give it a go without the GUI !

2023-10-10T04:36:21.18+00:00 Hello, today is my most happy thing is to see your reply message;
Thank you very much for your continued help;
Here is my Powershell source code:
$uname = ".\administrator"
$pwd = ConvertTo-SecureString "PassWord" -AsPlainText –Force
$cred = New-Object System.Management.Automation. PSCredential( $uname , $pwd )
Start-Process -FilePath "c:\bl.bat" -Credential $cred
The purpose of this code is to obtain Administrator permission to run the bl.bat file under the path of the C drive on the computer;
At present, I have to manually assign Administrator permission to the bl.bat file every time to run, which is very inconvenient.
Therefore, I can bind the local administrator permissions to this custom bl.bat file so that I don't have to perform manual operations every time;
To return to the theme of this post, I want to find the .ps1 to.exe file conversion, the purpose of this is to encapsulate the local administrator password, so that the password is not stolen by a third party;
Below I also share the bl.bat source code for your reference;
The source code of bl.bat is as follows:
manage-bde -lock -ForceDismount D:
The purpose of this instruction is to enable Microsoft BitLock to lock the D drive;
Once Microsoft's BitLock is decrypted once, other users in the PC can see the D drive information as long as they log in unless the power is powered off and restarted. There is a risk of leakage, so I wrote this bl.bat to realize the lock at any time.
Please understand the original intention of my scheme design.
You recommend the software Win-PS2EXE, I will not use;
I want to get the result of your help, not just a finished EXE file without knowing the result;
I want to know that Powershell to exe format conversion is a must;
I have a request, if you can record the complete development process, especially debugging and packaging the whole process of conversion format, it will be very helpful to me;
For example: OBS is an open source and free recording tool that I already know. It can record your debugging interface into a complete process and generate a file in MP4 format, so that I can imitate your operation on this basis.
OBS Official Download link:

**Here is my email address: ****@163.com
You can send MP4 format video recording files to my email;
Thank you for your help, looking forward to your response;
Thank you;

If Powershell is not able to successfully execute your .ps1 script, then it may be that the encoding of the .ps1 file is not able to store whatever that last character in the password is. When using notepad, do a SaveAs and make sure that the encoding is set to either UTF-8 or "UTF-8 with BOM".
When testing, modify "bl.bat" to just do something simple like "timeout.exe /t 10" instead of any Bitlocker process.
If Powershell is able to execute the .ps1 file, then the most obvious conclusion would be that PS2EXE is unable to handle that last character.
In that case, try changing the password.

You can achieve this with the use of PS2EXE
