Creating Single .EXE from Unity Build Files

An article by mgear

Using Enigma Virtual Box

https://enigmaprotector.com/en/downloads.html

– Select input file name: (This is .exe file from unity build)
– Enter output file name: (this is the output single exe file) *This MUST be same as the original .exe file name, so that data folder gets found.
– Click Add / Add Folder Recursive ..
– Browse to your Build folder, for example ../Builds/ within your unity project (next to Assets/ folder)
– Now you can test your single exe file
– Note: Loading data from StreamingAssets/ folder within the single exe app seems to work also.

Select whole Builds folder, if that contains your exe and data folder

Warp

Tested this tool also, works, but seems to leave console window open when exe is run..

TODO

– Check if enigma supports command line arguments, then you could make it automatic with some editor scripts!

Is the new exe size significantly bigger than old exe+data+dll?
