Serious error in SFX Maker!

[xel]

:eek: When trying to creating a self extracting ZIP archive with SFX Maker This error comes:

“Please specify a valid archive (ZIP and not spanned) and the destination (EXE). Please either use the ‘Browse for Archive’ button to find your ZIP file or choose ‘Create New Archive’ to create a new ZIP file on the ‘Select Archive’ page.”

I’ve tried to create an SFX archive, I did all the config, the file names were like this:
Z:\name.zip; Z:\name.exe. No matter what I try to do, nothing happens, It cannot create an SFX archive! The normal SFX option in the PowerArchiver program works, but I cannot configure anything there. Quite annoying

this is not SFX Maker support, we are not associated with SFX maker, although in general it works fine when I last time used it.

Well, you should check it out the latest version, because it isn’t working!
I see what I see, I’m not seeing illusions. Oh, and I’ve found the SFX maker here on http://www.powerarchiver.com/download/, in downloads section. If you put a program on your own website, that support it, or something!

If you don’t believe my word, I could send you a full lenght movie of this, whenever you want.

again, SFX maker is not our program and we do not provide support for it. It is an freeware utility in any case, and author has decided not to develop it anymore. If you experience any issues with it that prevent you from using it, I suggest that you simply find another utility.

We do not develop it and we can not fix it.

I understand.

if you don’t provide support for SFX Maker, why don’t you remove it from your website?

[spwolf]

is there any particular reason you feel we should remove it? SFX Maker has been an great freeware tool in past and many people are still using it, even though it has been over-run by time… This is one of the few last places you can download it from.

I see no reason for us removing it, nor would that be beneficiary to anyone.

I am closing this thread.

thank you,
