Solve : BAT to EXE Converter Question?

Answer»

I have been using free the BAT to EXE Converter provided on this web site, to convert some of my batch files to executables.
How to make a bat executable?

It's pretty cool how the executable that is created works. It extracts the INCLUDED file from the executable to the working folder each time it is run, and then DELETES it upon COMPLETION. It works perfectly for me, but it raised some questions for me at the same time.

Questions:
What if the operator who was logged on at the time did not have write access to the working folder?
Would it be a problem when the executable could not write the included file to the working folder?
Would the executable fail at that point?yes, yes and yes. Thanks for the answer, although that is not what I wanted to hear!

I was hoping that you would give me an answer like:
'No, windows would just write the file to the temp folder instead."

Wishful thinking aside is there a way to work AROUND the problem?

My BEST guess would be to path the included file to the environment variable TEMP.
Do you think that would work?
Non-admin users generally have their own TEMP folder, so that should work.
