Modification of the PA Self Extractor
-
It would be nice if the PA Self Extractor could be modified just a bit.
Display a custom MessageBox BEFORE & AFTER extraction. You can either have a simple MessageBox telling you that extraction will begin, or there could be a Yes/No MessageBox,
so the user can cancel. A license agreement would also be nice.It’s similar to WinZip Self Extractor 2.2, but it only supports ZIP files!
This would be a nice additon to PA 9.1, wouldn’t it?
Any comments/questions would be highly appreciated!

In PA : Tools SFX Wizard
MessageBox telling you that extraction will begin, or there could be a Yes/No MessageBox, so the user can cancel.
The options screen gives “Do not prompt before extracting”
If this is NOT checked, then there is a prompt/cancel option.A license agreement would also be nice.
The dialog (see above) also includes a link “Legal” - this opens a file (suk.html) which begins:
“PowerArchiver SFX (self-extracting) archives are not protected by any legal warranty…” -
It would be even better if you could have your OWN custom dialog box and license texts!
To get a better idea of what I’m saying, install WinZip Self Extractor 2.2 (download from
the WinZip site, of course).
