It's not that difficult at a first glance. And since I'll write it
because I need it, I'll have the chance to test it with a real application.
Yes, I will release the tool for free, but I'm not sure about open
source. And keep in mind that it'll be very simple, no extended features
as ZIP 2 Secure EXE, and that it will take a while before I have
something to release. After I have it working then I can add features
based on requests though...

Now that's a good question. I'll be using fnkdat to get a temporary
directory to where I can decompress the application, and Vista is not
yet listed as a supported platform. My guess is that it will work, since
applications must have some place where they can write config files and
stuff even on Vista. But I may be wrong.
I'll test the tool on Vista before releasing it.
Cheers,
Andre
