If that is the case, it would certainly fit my current minimal requirements. Just making sure that reverse-engineering is uglily painful suits me fine.

These programs (Refox etc) remove comments, removes source code from the method fields in vcx/scx, apply some obfuscation, and then provide a wrapper around the application.

Francois, think carefully about what you are trying to protect (source code, data, encryption keys, etc), from who and what the time value of that asset is. If it is truly valuable you need to drop the idea of providing the application and instead look are internet solutions like web-based or terminal server access.
