How to create self extracting archives from the command-line ?
-
We can do many things from the command-line with Pacl but at the moment we can’t create zip/cab self extracting exe files from this command line set of tools : is it planned for a next version of PACL ?

You can use PowerArchiver.
Powerarc -tosfx file.zip
or
powerarc -tosfx file.cab

Where this switch is mentionned in PA’s help. Could it be possible to include in the help the list of switches which could used from the command -line ?

Actually it is mentioned in PA Help;) Go to PA Help -> Details -> Command Line Options.
But fortunatelly this swich is there because it is needed by PA shell extensions, but for all other compression/decompression stuff we recommend PACL.

@Claude:

No it isn’t. Help only mentions
If the archive is a ZIP file POWERARC -tosfx “filename.ext”
there is no mention of cab files (or any other sfx format) except zip.
… for all other compression/decompression stuff we recommend PACL.
The original question was about using PACL and not PowerArchiver.
According to manual.txt - SFX from PACL is not possible (at the moment).
