Are there any good free programs that will turn BASIC scripts into a standalone application.
If not BASIC, are there any other easy-to-learn languages that can be turned into standalone applications for free? I tried JAVA, but I can't install the SDK or whatever it is you need to write programs. Thanks for you help!

See if JavaScript satisfies your needs. All that a user needs to run JavaScript programs is a browser. And you may need a minimum of a notepad type of text editor. Of course, better HTML editors will make your life easy.

However, what problems did you face while installing Java SDK?

If you would like an alternative to java sdk, read post #36 of this thread.

This post will have the example program you can use to play with.

For B.A.S.I.C compilers search google

Thanks for your help! I figured out the problem... the javac command was linked to the wrong folder...
