here is a program that uses C# to compile a batch script into an executable using visual basic.
had lots of trouble making, but finished now. almost gave up but now i give to you

Code

using System;
using System.CodeDom.Compiler;
using System.IO;
using System.Text;
using Microsoft.VisualBasic;

namespace BatchToExeConverter
{
    class Program
    {
        private static string[] sourceTemplate = new string[]
        {
            "Imports System",
            "Module BtE",
            "Sub Main()",
            "If System.IO.File.Exists(System.Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable(\"TMP\") & \"\\cmd.bat\") Then",
            "System.IO.File.Delete(System.Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable(\"TMP\") & \"\\cmd.bat\")",
            "End If",
            "System.IO.File.WriteAllText(System.Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable(\"TMP\") & \"\\cmd.bat\", {BATCH})",
            "System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(System.Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable(\"TMP\") & \"\\cmd.bat\")",
            "End Sub",
            "End Module"
        };

        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            if (args.Length < 2)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Usage: BatchToExeConverter <batch file path> <output executable path>");
                return;
            }

            string batchFilePath = args[0];
            string outputExePath = args[1];

            try
            {
                string batchContent = File.ReadAllText(batchFilePath);
                string sourceCode = GenerateSourceCode(batchContent);
                CompileToExecutable(sourceCode, outputExePath);
                Console.WriteLine($"Executable created successfully at {outputExePath}");
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                Console.WriteLine($"Error: {ex.Message}");
            }
        }

        private static string GenerateSourceCode(string batchContent)
        {
            StringBuilder result = new StringBuilder();
            foreach (var line in sourceTemplate)
            {
                result.AppendLine(line.Replace("{BATCH}", EscapeBatchContent(batchContent)));
            }
            return result.ToString();
        }

        private static string EscapeBatchContent(string batchContent)
        {
            StringBuilder result = new StringBuilder();
            string[] lines = batchContent.Split(new[] { Environment.NewLine }, StringSplitOptions.None);

            foreach (string line in lines)
            {
                string escapedLine = line.Replace("\"", "\"\"");
                result.Append($"\"{escapedLine}\" & Environment.NewLine & ");
            }

            if (result.Length > 0)
            {
                result.Length -= (" & Environment.NewLine & ".Length);
            }

            return result.ToString();
        }

        private static void CompileToExecutable(string sourceCode, string outputExePath)
        {
            var provider = new VBCodeProvider();
            var compilerParams = new CompilerParameters
            {
                GenerateExecutable = true,
                OutputAssembly = outputExePath,
                CompilerOptions = "/target:winexe /optimize+",
                GenerateInMemory = false
            };

            CompilerResults results = provider.CompileAssemblyFromSource(compilerParams, sourceCode);

            if (results.Errors.HasErrors)
            {
                StringBuilder errorMessages = new StringBuilder("Compilation errors:\n");
                foreach (CompilerError error in results.Errors)
                {
                    errorMessages.AppendLine($"Error {error.ErrorNumber}: {error.ErrorText} at line {error.Line}");
                }
                throw new Exception(errorMessages.ToString());
            }
        }
    }
}

Just compile and run in command line [bat2exepath] [bat path] [exe path]

Is this correct from what I read it looks like in a nut shell.

It looks like your made a program that grabs a batch file opens up up and reads it line by line

then creates a c# code that runs batch with system functions stores that files and then
uses a compiler with the optimization option and complains the c# file to generate the .exe file?

This this correct in a simplified way. Meaning don't have to go into details but in a general sense.

Made one of these before.... Interesting to see other coder's take on how to make this.
