Winrar: Create SFX via Command Line

[magicT]

Hi,

I want to automatically create a SFX with winrar and command line parameters. I tried:

winrar -sfx test *.*

Creates a SFX, uses the icon i saved as default, but does not use the SFX Options like temp mode, silent etc.

How can i apply my Skript:

Setup=Setup.exe
TempMode
Silent=1

?
Thanks,
Timo

You have created setup.exe with MSBuild, as a .NET bootstrapper, it will not work as setup.exe of MSBuild exits BEFORE msiexec opens MSI file, so rarsfx deletes MSI before msiexe installs it. To Create a Self Extracting Archive - check this.

The command line version RAR is available for Linux, DOS, OS / 2, FreeBSD and MAC OS X.or try CuteZIP archive from the command line. You must have CuteZIP’s default settings set to create a self-extracting encrypted ZIP archive.

To create a self-extracting encrypted ZIP archive from the command line:

1. Start CuteZIP.
2. select Edit > Settings from the menu bar.
3. select Compress Options.
4. select the SFX Encrypted Zip from the Create new archive as: box.
5. select Twofish or PKZIP compatible compression.
6. Click the Apply button.
7. Click OK.
8. Close CuteZIP.
9. Execute the following command:

c:\progra~1\global~1\CuteZIP\cutezip.exe -c -p12345 c:\archive.exe c:\mydocu~1\

This will create a self-extracting encrypted archive called archive.exe, with 12345 for the password, in the root of the c: drive consisting of all the files and folders in c:\mydocu~1.
Extraction Parameters
-x = extract
-p = password

Thank you for your answers. They didn't really fit to my question, but the Link helped me.

What i needed was the -z option in Winrar. It allows to add SFX-Script information.

Cheers,
