I'm trying to create self extracting archive with gui, I'm using 7-Zip 9.20 on Windows 10, I just want the files in the 7z file to extract to the InstallPath
directory, without running the file. I created aa.7z
file and put aa.exe
in it, then used this command copy /b 7zS.sfx + config.txt + aa.7z installer.exe
with this config.txt
;!@Install@!UTF-8!
InstallPath="%PROGRAMFILES%\\aa"
Title="Installation"
BeginPrompt="aa"
ExtractDialogText="bb"
ExtractPathText="cc"
ExtractTitle="dd"
GUIFlags="8+32+64+256+4096"
GUIMode="1"
OverwriteMode="0"
Shortcut="Du,{%%T\\aa.exe},{},{},{as},{fs},{},{%%T\\aa.exe},{0}"
FinishMessage="finish"
;!@InstallEnd@!
When executing installer.exe, ExtractDialogText
,ExtractPathText
,ExtractTitle
does not show up I only see Title
and BeginPrompt
Labels and two buttons Yes and No, When I click Yes I get the error Can not find setup.exe
, I didn't want to run any file and I don't know what setup.exe is, also the file doesn't get extracted to InstallPath
Program Files
if you are not actually running a windows installer.
