how i can add shortcut to program from SFX Archive

[RyanVM]

Create the shortcut pointing to the right spot, then add it to the archive.

add this to the comment for each shortcut:

Shortcut=X, "PATHTOPROGRAM", "SUBMENU", "DESCRIPTION", "SHORTCUTNAME"

where X can be:

D=Desktop
S=Start Menu
P=Start Menu/Programs
T=Startup

or when you're creating the SFX archive, go under the Advanced tab, and press Add Shortcut, fill in the blanks and your set.

yeah, you can make pretty decent installations with winrar. i have some games in my unattended cd that install into program files, add a shortcut to the start menu, and execute a reg file to input the username and serial.

haven't got a clue, but why would you need to use that! winrar has totally converted me, i haven't installed winzip, winace, etc for years now.

Perhaps... but 7zip has better compression! And a 700 MB CD is quickly filled...

Whenever I isntall Winrar, it always opens the directory after installation. How can i prevent that....

ECHO.
ECHO Installing WinRAR 3.11
ECHO Please wait...
start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Applications\WinRAR\wrar311.exe /s
