An option would be to bundle the PHP scripts in a PHAR, and to also ship a PHP binary, maybe mostly self-contained by compiling in the extensions statically (doesn't work for all exts, though). A small .bat file could then be used to start the app. This way you couldn't ship a single .exe file; instead there would be a few files (perhaps as few as app.phar, php.exe, php7.dll, php.ini, app.bat). -- Christoph M.
