Answer 1

If you're trying to compile VBScript in order to hide something like a password, you're probably doing it wrong.

This compiler is $49: http://www.xuebrothers.net/sh/sh.htm and has a free demo.

Any compiler for this language promptly turns it back into the plaintext script before running it, so you lose the benefit of obscurity against any determined attacker. If you absolutely won't pay for any of the compilers, your best bet might be to re-write it using one of the free visual studio basic variants, and compile that.

Answer 2

VBScript is an interpreted language, not a compiled one. If you want to make a binary executable out of your VBScript code, you will need to port it to Visual Basic or Visual Basic .NET first. As for free compilers, Visual Basic .NET Express edition is available for free.

Answer 3

You can do it for free with Vbsedit
