Hello Raymond,
Please avoid sending a same query in different mediums. You may get duplicate response.
AxCrypt 1.x can create self decryptable .exe files. Due to some security issues, AxCrypt 2.x do not support that features. For more info, Please refer the blog: https://forum.axcrypt.net/blog/avoid-self-decrypting-files/
AxCrypt 2.x is not a ransomware generating software and it’s a file encryption software.
Instead of using AxCrypt 1.x self decryptable .exe files, we can use the stand alone version of the AxCrypt app which does not required the installation process.
You can download the AxCrypt to run it temporarily without installing using our portable(stand-alone) version, here: https://forum.axcrypt.net/download/ .
