For : a short, practical answer and up-to-date pointers.

Native languages (C/C++) are compiled into Windows executables; the modern choices are Microsoft’s toolchain (Visual Studio/MSVC) or GCC/Clang via MinGW-w64. Use an IDE if you want a GUI build flow, or the command line for simple one-file builds. Visual Studio Community · MinGW‑w64. (visualstudio.microsoft.com)

Minimal compile examples (run in a Developer Command Prompt or a shell with your toolchain on PATH):

g++ -O2 -Wall -o myapp.exe main.cpp
cl /EHsc /O2 main.cpp /Fe:myapp.exe

Notes: choose 32‑ or 64‑bit toolchain to match your target, and remember GUI apps use a different entry point (WinMain) than console apps. (visualstudio.microsoft.com)

If your source is Python, use a bundler that includes the interpreter and libraries into a distributable exe. Example with PyInstaller:

pyinstaller --onefile --console myscript.py

Watch for hidden imports (library plugins loaded dynamically) and test on a clean Windows VM — single‑file bundles sometimes trigger antivirus heuristics. PyInstaller usage docs. (pyinstaller.org)

When you distribute, create an installer (Inno Setup or NSIS) and sign your executable so Windows/AV trust improves. Test on a machine without your dev toolchain — common problems are missing MSVC redistributables or 32/64 mismatches. Useful links: Inno Setup and Microsoft’s SignTool docs. (jrsoftware.org)

Context from the thread: correctly pointed to free toolchains; mentioned an older IDE (Dev‑C++), but prefer a maintained toolchain (MinGW‑w64 or Visual Studio) or a current IDE like Code::Blocks/VS Code with proper toolchain integration. ’s idea — wrapping scripts — is valid; use a bundler that fits your language and security needs.

Of course -- I thought everyone knew how to do that. Just get yourself one of the many free compilers and write the code. As for language -- just take a look at all the languages available in the Software Development menu. Many of them will create a *.exe but some won't because they are interpreted languages.

Use C language,IT will automatically generate executable files.

Thanks for the Replay...:)

Also There are a couple of free utilities that will allow you to package vbscripts and batch files as executables if you do not want their source code to be seen or want the to run silently.

: you are using an ancient compiler that has not been updated for many years now. It's dead and buried. Get Code::Blocks with Mingw, which is current and works on both MS-Windos and *nix.
