In otherwords, you apply bad coding standards
Yeah, I was temporarily out of my mind when I wrote that.
I can't possibly allow bad coding standards into my code. It drives me crazy just looking at it.

I remember finding an open source obfuscator somewhere. I must check my software archives at home - I might still have an old copy of something.

NSIS aka Nullsoft installer is pretty common...no one ever installed Winamp? That's the installer right there in action. I've installed alot of apps lately where i noticed it being this particular installer.

Ah, good old Winamp. I haven't used it since version 2 though. I remember the bliss of creating your first Winamp skin, complete with viz, playlist and EQ support! That's where my "customization"-fetish started.
Back on topic: Raithlin, I downloaded and tried many many MANY obfuscators. Some were free, others were not. The only one that actually worked was Xenocode. Yes, the free obfuscators work nicely on smaller projects, but try obfuscating an enterprise web-app with those, including a custom installer and Windows-forms based maintenance utils... You're bound to run into some compilation or execution errors at some point. That's my experience, at least.

Hahaha its actually off topic but I must say that it is valid to what the discussion started off with.

Well, seeing as the thread derailed to code-obfuscators, talking about Xenocode IS actually on topic!
EDIT: ...and, another feather in Xenocode's hat (and in order to keep this post on topic), is the ability to "sandbox" your application to run without any installation. Just check out the samples on their website.

If only I had about R9000 to splash out.
Anyways, looks like a good piece of software.
