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.

[Serhiy]

I support this wish…

Thanks!

[klumy]

me, too

[amh209]

me four :p

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.

[andy2004]

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

[davidsplash]

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/ ?

[klumy]

but 4.18 is still beta

[spwolf]

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.

[jowood]

I meant this as a suggestion to the Powerarchiver people. It seems that they can’t provide us with their own sfx modules, so they should use the original 7z sfx modules.

[andy2004]

I suggested that they use 7-zip32.dll which has a nice small sfx module in it and they could use the same file to create the 7-zips,

[davidsplash]

The competition has this feature nameing no names and you know who that is ult*****zip

so when will you impliment it?

[spwolf]

we dont use generic sfx modules, once we have time, we will create PA’s sfx for 7zip.

thank you

[klumy]

7-zip SFX should be added soon. It’s one of the most useful functions. If you go to someone else, who doesn’t have 7zip, you need to create a SFX archive

[andy2004]

A new version of Powerarchiver and still no 7-zip Sfx support. When will it be introduced, version 10

[spwolf]

@andy2004:

most likely… It will certainly not be in 9.6, and time is simply flying…

Although the code is somewhat broken, if you download the code for SFX Maker from http://www.davidcornish.com/download/sfxmaker.zip you could try working from that.

[andy2004]

thanks David, downloaded and testing.

what is the settings.sfx command about.
i tried with a simple test line

sfxmcmd “test.zip” “test.exe” /c:sfxtext /p /r:setup.exe

but nothing happened, except a popup window informing me that sfxmcmd.exe has encountered ad problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

[spwolf]

bump

[amh209]

Does this mean that SFX is on its way for 7-zip files?

[amh209]

Moving this to the top, I would like to 7-zip SFX support.

[klumy]

seems so that 7zip SFX is a killer feature of future PA versions

[andy2004]

yeah, finally. brilliant, how long have i been waiting for this. LOL 12/24/2004

[stevedxu]

Support to add this feature.

[Fallon]

Another request as you asked to request.

[Liberty]

I totally support this.

[spwolf]

@Liberty:

I totally support this.

it has been already added in PA 2007

[RJWaring]

PA Quick Question! Its fantastic now that we have 7zip support within SFX. But why don’t we have the option to compress using “Ultra(Memory Req.)” and just “Maximum (Slowest?)”

Would be nice if all compression methods were able within SFX if possible.

of course you can… just create 7zip as you want it and then create SFX…
