General
Process Name: This is the name of the process you wish to execute. When packaging a script, you will normally specify the script language interpreter here (Kix32, Cscript, AutoIt, etc.). However you may also choose to specify items outside the drop-down menu by typing your own process name (such as that of another file on the system or in the package.)
Arguments: This second parameter specifies what should be passed to the specified process (indicated above). The name of your script (the currently open script you are packaging) is included as an argument automatically and is not shown here. This field allows you to specify additional arguments supported by the selected command interpreter.
Note: The package will execute the packaged script/process as: <Process Name> <Argument(s)>
Extract to: This should normally be left to read %TEMP% which is the environment variable representing the user's temp directory. You may specify an other local directory (not a network location) just be certain that the location exists and the executing user has CHANGE permissions (Read/Write/Delete) to the specified folder.
Note: During execution, files are unpacked to a subdirectory of this specified location for execution (and cleaned up afterwards). This subdirectory is randomly named using a nine digit number and may or may not be secured via NTFS and EFS security depending upon your settings in the Alternate Credentials area.
Destination: This directory specifies where the packaged executable should be placed on your system. If no value is provided, this will be the same directory where the script file is located.
Enable 'console mode': If this option is selected, the executable will not spawn a new command session. This is intended for use as a command line tool so that you can run the packaged executable from within a console window and have any output returned to the same console session.
Icon
Use Default Icon: If this option is selected, your executable package will use the ASE icon
Use Custom Icon: If this option is selected, you may browse and select your own icon for the executable (also used for the optional taskbar icon below).
Display icon in system tray: Checking this option will cause a system tray icon (the same image chosen above) to be displayed during execution. (Limited to 62 characters)
Tooltip Text: If you have chosen to display a system tray icon during script execution, you may also specify text to be displayed as a tooltip when a user places their mouse over the system tray icon. This can be helpful for providing a subtle message to the user during execution of the script.
