This release contains beta version of the software (source code, console and WinForms executables).
Please note that it is still not intended for production use.
Important noticeExepack 0.03 beta4 still relies on Reflection.Emit API and thus cannot create executables for .NET Framework versions
other than the platform it is compiled for. Use WinExepack.exe / Exepack.exe to compress .NET4 executables and
WinExepack.FX3.exe / Exepack.FX3.exe for .NET2 / .NET3. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Nevertheless, Exepack.NET 0.03 offers some basic protection against disassembling. Here is a screenshot demonstrating the current version of Red Gate .NET Reflector while trying to disassemble compressed file:
