How to add files to specified folder in archive with 7zip command line

Question

I have folders and files on my disk

C:\builds\main.exe
D:\components\a\testa.exe
D:\components\b\testb.exe
D:\components\c\testc.exe
D:\dependencies\abc.dll

Can I create an archive with 7z command line version with folder structure similar to this?

MyArchive.7z
 |- main.exe
 |- abc.dll
 |- components\testa.exe
 |- components\testb.exe
 |- components\testc.exe

Answer 1

Reading this (i got from a simple google search)

You would need to create a batch/script file containing something like this:

7z a: -r -t7z MyArchive.7z C:\builds\main.exe D:\components\a\testa.exe D:\components\b\testb.exe D:\components\c\testc.exe D:\dependencies\abc.dll

Commands are as follows - a: to add to archive, -r to make recursive, -t7z .7z archive file type.

Note: this is untested.
