FreeExtractor

Hi guys,
I found this on portablefreeware forum:
http://www.disoriented.com/FreeExtractor/
...looks like a useful little utility...

FreeExtractor is the easiest way to create self-extracting archives for Windows from existing ZIP files. It is an excellent open-source solution for packaging software programs and for distributing files to friends and colleagues over the Internet.

Application Structure Ideas (Krypton)

I am currently writing an document management application. Everything will be stored in an Sqlite database. It is designed to support AES encryption. It is being written in JavaScript (wxJavaScript). Its name is Krypton.

However, I am still pondering this point. How can I detect if the encryption password is correct? I planned on using an MD5 and SHA1 hash to compare it to. Would that create any security vulnerabilities?

 
Are there any other things I should be concerned about?
 
Thank you.

I was trying to make a special launcher for some apps. The compiler keeps spitting out errors. Here's the source code:
