Hi!

This looks like just the thing I need. I have a setup (multi file/directories) that I want to distribute as 1 file so I tried this.

I get a problem though. When my setup application should start to copy files that was included in the 7z file it says it can't find the files.

So, I started to look at this. I run my SFX exe which I created like this:

CONFIG.TXT

;!@Install@!UTF-8!
GUIMode="2"
RunProgram="MyApp\setup.exe"
;!@InstallEnd@!

And

copy /b 7zsd_All.sfx + config.txt + MySetup.7z Test.exe

I then run test.exe and it takes a while (a lot of files) and at the same time I go to my users temp folder and see that it is decompressing all the files into a 7ZipSfx.000 directory.

Everything perfect so far!

Then it automatically starts my setup.exe and I click through my setup steps. Then the setup comes to the stage when it should start copying files and I get my error message which says that it can't find a file it should copy.

I now look at the temp directory and see that most of the files that were decompressed are gone, only a number of files starting with "_" are left behind and the setup.exe hasn't even finished its "thing" yet.

Any ideas what's going on, why it is removing the files before the setup has finished and how to get around this problem?

I'm doing this on a Windows 7 computer but the same thing happens on Windows Vista. Have not tested it on an XP machine.

Ideas?

Some installshiled installers with setup.exe have this problem, 7zip sfx do not work so well so I use WinRAR sfx instead, it does not have this problem

One small note is that you should use two backslashes when in your config.txt to separate dirs

;!@Install@!UTF-8!
GUIMode="2"
RunProgram="MyApp\\setup.exe" ; Two backslashes \\
;!@InstallEnd@!

So yea switch to WinRAR sfx just for this or try start /wait, also try calling it via cmd file

Does anyone still have the exectools.7z from Oleg? All the links I've found all point to the now long dead http://unattended.so...ru/exectools.7z

Hoping someone might still have it and wouldn't mind sharing

From exectools.7z you want to have what files?
hidcon.exe ?

Wow thanks gora

jaclaz, I guess I looked over your link too quickly, as when I clicked the original one, the exectools.7z file wasn't there. The second ones you posted seemed to work though. I'll have to look at this web archive more. Seems like a good thing to be able to go back in time.

Removing __CxxFrameHandler3(MSVCRT.DLL) dependency on x64:

This entry point is available in MSVCRT.DLL of Windows7 x64/Windows Srv 2008 R2, but unfortunately, it's missing in MSVCRT.DLL of Windows XP/2003 x64.

After searching, I found this post:
http://social.msdn.m...f2-cdb1d8bc78d7
One reply suggests:

extern "C" void *__CxxFrameHandler;
extern "C" void  __declspec(naked) __CxxFrameHandler3(void)
    {
    // Jump indirect: Jumps to __CxxFrameHandler
    _asm jmp __CxxFrameHandler ; Trampoline bounce
    }

It's good enough on x86, I suppose you may consider using that in your Exceptions.cpp, replacing your extern "C" void __CxxFrameHandler3. Yet x64 compiler doesn't support _asm and the keyword "naked". So you have to use the bloated C code on x64:

extern "C" void *__CxxFrameHandler( PEXCEPTION_RECORD rec, void * frame, PCONTEXT context, void ** dispatch );
extern "C" void __CxxFrameHandler3( PEXCEPTION_RECORD rec, void * frame, PCONTEXT context, void ** dispatch )
		{ __CxxFrameHandler( rec, frame, context, dispatch ); }

I have tested it and it passed the linking with an old MSVCRT.LIB. You could look at this and try making some exceptions while executing/debugging, to see whether this works, and consider using it in your next version.

In the Help File, 7zSD_En.chm, under "Examples" for the TotalCommander SFX,
a shortcut is created using the following line:

Shortcut="26,{%Var1%TOTALCMD.EXE},{},{Microsoft\\Internet Explorer\\Quick Launch},{File manager},{Total Commander}"

The help text then explains as follows:

A shortcut to Total Commander will be created in the current user Quick Launch panel as defined by 'type' option with the value of "26" (an undocumented feature).

My questions are:
Is there an undocumented 'type' option for creating a shortcut in the 'SendTo" Folder using the Shortcut= parameter? If Yes, what is the value?

If there is no such type option for directly creating a shortcut in the "SendTo' Folder using this parameter, is there a workaround for doing this?

I did try using '53' as the value with the {folder_for_shortcut} parameter set to {SendTo}, but this did not work.

Thanks for any assistance.

Thanks! gora.

[sweept]

its to bad that the %%S parameter cannot be manipulated in any way to read an sfx that has spaces in the path I even tried fooling it by adding quotes around the \"%%S\"
but no matter what Ive tried, it won't return an SFX on a path with spaces..

wonderful app!

[Oleg_Sch]

sweept,
please give me more info about problem, i.e. configuration file, execution pathes etc.
so I was able to reproduce this problem

[sweept]

hello Oleg_Sch I'm glad you noticed this post, here is an example illustration: using some "SFX.exe" that contains some "test.txt":

Quote

RunProgram="hidcon:cmd /c COPY /Y %%T\test.txt %%S\test.txt"
or
RunProgram="hidcon:cmd /c COPY /Y %%T\test.txt \"%%S\test.txt\""

[sweept]

on a path that contains no spaces as C:\SFX.exe then will copy the extracted file from "%%T\test.txt" back to "c:\test.txt"(SFX DIR)
but if the SFX.exe runs for example from "C:\Documents and Settings\MyUserName\Desktop" which is a path name that contains spaces..then %%T\test.txt fails the copy task back to the %%S\

Correctly so:

RunProgram="hidcon:cmd /c COPY /Y \"%%T\\test.txt\" \"%%S\\test.txt\""
OR
RunProgram="hidcon:cmd /c COPY /Y \"test.txt\" \"%%S\\test.txt\""
OR
RunProgram="hidcon:cmd /c COPY /Y test.txt \"%%S\\test.txt\""

What version of the module?

[jey350]

Hello,

I need to pass the full path of SFX file as argument to another program I run.
%%S give the path to SFX file, I need to get a little more with the full location of SFX file.

Details:
SFX file location: C:\test\sfx.exe
%%S gives: C:\test
I want: C:\test\sfx.exe

Is there any way to do it ?

Thanks.

[gora]
