OK, I've managed to rewrite a compact build using open-source autoit (aka ahk) scripting. It's still a work in progress. Also I didn't bother with the console functionality now that this is handled inside Electrum itself.
The good news is that this is a lightweight, transparent and auditable process. Expect new compact builds soon!
; Notes:
; -- requires the latest release of AHK and AHK2EXE, PyQt 4.9.6, Python 2.7 and the 7-zip DLL
; -- first, do a git pull master of the Electrum source code and copy that to %APPDATA%\Electrum_SysFiles
The packer script:
WhichFolder = 1.7.0.1
FileDelete, %A_scriptdir%\Electrum.arc
runwait, cmd /c del *.pyc /s, %WhichFolder%, hide
runwait, d:\tools\7za.dll a "%A_scriptdir%\Electrum.arc" "%WhichFolder%" -r -sfx, d:\tools
FileCount = 0
Loop, %WhichFolder%\*.*, , 1
FileCount ++
msgbox %FileCount% items compacted.
The launcher script:
process, close, python.exe
sleep 100
Rel = 1.7.0.1
commandline = %1% %2% %3% %4% %5% %6% %7% %8%
ReleaseDir = %appdata%\Electrum_SysFiles\%Rel%
