Converting a macro to an EXE file

An EXE file or 'executable' is a program in the same way that Microsoft Excel is a program (it's EXE file is excel.exe) and Internet Explorer is a program (iexplore.exe).

Jitbit Macro Recorder can convert a macro into a standalone EXE file which will run on any compatible Windows PC. Jitbit Macro Recorder does not have to be installed for the EXE to run. Nothing needs to be installed for the .EXE to run - it is a standalone Windows application. A compiled EXE file runs exactly the same way that a recorded macro runs from Jitbit Macro Recorder.

You can run the EXE just by double clicking on it in Explorer or typing it at the command line or Start/Run dialog. You could also create a shortcut to it. It could also be run by a task scheduler or third party application.

How to convert

To render a macro to an EXE file simply click "Compile to EXE" under the "File" menu item.

IMPORTANT NOTE: if your macro contains mouse movements and clicks, this macro is screen resolution-sensitive. Running a compiled EXE-file on another computer with a different screen resolution will result in improper playback.
