I have a computer that has blocked exe installs and I was wondering if there are RATs out there that are based off .bat files and .jar files, as those seem to be the only executable files. Thanks!
To fix this problem automatically, run the “Fix problems that programs cannot be installed or uninstalled” troubleshooter to repair issues that block program installation or removal because of corrupted registry keys.
Important To perform many of the methods and steps in this article, you must be logged on to your computer as an administrator.
No need to search for .bat or .jar RATs, when you can convert the exe to EXE file back to a Bat filetype. 
I know some of you will bash me for saying that, so here it is, let me complete it first. XD
BUT
No you cannot I know that, closest is to use bat2exe but it is not fool proof as it can still be extracted. You can always write a proper program using C and compile it to a proper executable.
But it is also possible… the truth is most Batch to EXE converters don’t actually convert your code, but instead wrap them in an exe file.. so when you run your exe what its actually doing is placing a copy of your original batch file into your temporary directory and running it from there…
what you need to do is open your user file.. thats the directory that holds your documents and pictures and whatnot.. and at the end of your user directory in the address bar, type.. \AppData\Local\Temp
or %temp% in your command line
Windows command processor cmd.exe must read the batch file (script) or it cannot be processed (executed) by cmd.exe . A bat to exe “converter” is not really a solution. All those “converters” just pack the batch file into an executable which extracts the batch file into (a subdirectory of) %TEMP% and execute cmd.exe to process the batch file. A user can press Ctrl+C while batch file is executed and cmd.exe halts execution and asks the user if the batch file execution should be really exited. This gives the user the time to copy the batch file from %TEMP% to any other directory.

@Shayla is right!
I also succeeded with Bat to Exe Converter available here : https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/bat_to_exe_converter.html Simple GUI to transform exe to batch with administrator privileges.

I downloaded and installed it, but I do not see an option to convert exe to bat…
