The source code for windows-privesc-check is Python. This page describes how to create a Windows executable (.exe file) using pyinstaller.

The process below was tested on Windows XP.

Install Dependencies

In order to run windows-privesc-check.exe, you don't need any dependencies installed. However, to build the .exe yourself, you'll need to following:

• python: http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.7.1/
• pyinstaller: http://www.pyinstaller.org/changeset/1352/tags/1.5-rc2?old_path=%2F&format=zip
• pywin32: http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/files/pywin32/Build%20214/
• lxml: http://lxml.de/index.html

Other versions will work too - these are just an example of known working versions.

Build Executable

• Unzip pyinstaller to c:\pyinstaller
• cd c:\pyinstaller
• python Configure.py
• python Makespec.py --onefile c:\somepath\windows-privesc-check.py
• python Build.py windows-privesc-check\windows-privesc-check.spec

This should create the following .exe for you: windows-privesc-check\dist\window-privesc-check.exe
