7-zip SFX

[andy2004]

All i want is to be able to create Self-extracting 7-zip archivers easily
When you update to the latest 7-zip.dll files 4. does that mean that 7zip selfextracting will be added.

David Cornish’s SFX Maker currently only supports ZIP compression, but version 2.6 (under development) will support ZIP and CAB compression. RAR and 7zip are planned, but nowhere near ready.

Any news on when 7-zip SFX will be added, my only wish.

[amh209]

Thought I would bring this to the top. Hoping this might make it into 9.5 release

Where And When Is Sfx Maker 2.6 Released ??

What the dll has to do with sfx creating?:)

To support creating 7-zip sfxs, we have to make 7-zip sfx stub which is not easy.

Yes, the dll can’t help to make the sfx…

But: Will you add the SFX 7z support?

If it is not easy,
can you use the sources from http://www.7-zip.org/ ?

but 4.18 is still beta

It wont be there for 9.5 for sure, but 9.6? why not… just keep requesting it :-).

[amh209]

I’m putting in my request for it.

i thought sfx maker would no longer be development? neways, cant wait for the next version of PowerArchiver

[redlabour]

I support this Wish !

[davidsplash]

is there any way we could make our own sfx stubs for pa to be summited via the forum or by email to you for adding to the site.

[andy2004]

I support Davidsplash idea about the sfx modules

[jowood]

Why not using the sfx stubs provided with the 7z dll?

[andy2004]

I do. its just a pain having to write the script and then join the files together. I would prefer to do it inside powerarchiver than make an extra job for it. which is why i normally use cab or zip to package cause there included.
