README
ExeBundle
Ship one executable. Nothing else.
ExeBundle is a Windows application bundler that packages tools and applications into a
single, self-contained executable (.exe) — no installer, no MSI, no external files.
If your application needs more than one file to run, ExeBundle turns it into exactly one executable.
Why ExeBundle Exists
Shipping software on Windows often means one of these compromises:
installers with complex setup logic
ZIP archives with “extract everything first” instructions
missing DLLs, broken paths, or version conflicts
administrative privileges where none should be required
ExeBundle exists to solve one specific problem:
> How do I ship an application as a single executable that just runs?
This makes ExeBundle especially useful for portable Windows tools and
self-contained command-line utilities that should run without setup.
