iExpress: Convert BAT-files into EXE-files [How-To]

![iExpress iExpress: Convert BAT files into EXE files [How To]](http://i0.wp.com/www.mintywhite.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/iExpress.jpg?resize=357%2C159 "iExpress")
Inspired by a comment from one of our readers (Frogman) about a tool from the “good old” DOS days. He told us that he used to convert his batch-files into EXE-files using DOS commands. The good news is that this tool still exists inside your windows. Since then it has been updated with a Windows GUI (windows graphical user interface)
Doing a search on the net, you can find literally hundreds of freeware apps to do this conversion, but in this article I will only use the forgotten Windows Tool which is hidden in the System32 folder:
iEXPRESS 2.0
iExpress is actually a program for creating installation packages. But as it creates standalone Executable files (EXE-files) we can use it to execute almost any runtime script we want.

[Solution] Error 651: The modem has reported an error

You try to initiate the dialer in Windows 7 and only found that it doesn’t work and returned with an Error 651: Your modem (or other connecting device) has reported an error. You had tried to restart your PC, your router, your modem etc. and the problem doesn’t go away.

There are, however, a lot of workarounds, suggested, of course, by other users. If you have this problem in Windows 7 (or may be Windows Vista/XP as some of the solutions works on these operating systems, too), check out what I have found for the possible solutions for this error:
