version 2.4

Petite is a free Win32 (Windows 95/98/2000/NT/XP/Vista/7/etc) executable (EXE/DLL/etc) compressor. The compressed executables decompress themselves at run time, and can be used just like the original non-compressed versions. Petite also adds virus detection to the compressed executables; they will check themselves for infection every time they are executed.

Two versions of Petite are provided: a GUI version and a command-line console version. The GUI version allows quick and easy use of Petite, and the command-line version allows developers to automate the use of Petite in compilers' build processes and makefiles. Simple instructions for using Petite with Visual C++ projects are given, and it should be fairly simple to use Petite with other compilers and IDEs too. Petite can also be used as a shell extension, so that you can compress a file by simply right-clicking on it in Windows Explorer.
