Seems a lot of work, Asta, unpacking and then repacking for the sake of a 1kb text file! (It would work tho s'pose).

[symbolic X]

How do I put an image into the comments section of an SFX archive, even change the Extract button? I know it was done before, example shown in attachment.

What other program do I might need to use where adding images and changing buttons can be optional since I couldn't find this in WinRAR? Thanks so far.

use the arrow to hide your commands like this:

;The comment below contains SFX script commands

Path=WinRAR
SavePath
Setup=uninstall.exe /setup
Presetup=uninstall.exe /clean
Overwrite=1

Could you tell us the Ascii Code plz ?
I checked the Ascii Table, but didnt find the "arrow".

strange: Its not displayed correctly in the CodeTag of board@msfn, but copy&paste into winrar is working.

ooo boy, been a while since the last post. still for those looking for the answer to that question:
put on a line of its own ascii code 0x1A which is the SUB (Substitute) control character.

Edit:
About being able to use /s with winrar sfx, actualy you can't its passed along to the uninstall.exe file
that said, simply change Setup=uninstall.exe /setup to Setup=uninstall.exe /setup /s
voila no more popup for the configuration options and if you add Silent=1
you've got a totaly silent installer. .

use winrar to export your settings.reg and add Setup=regedit.exe /s settings.reg
and there you go a registered (assuming you archived rarreg.key) configured installation of winrar.

Hello

i have create a sfx like this ...

;Kommentaren nedenfor indeholder SFX kommandoer

Path=C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Temp\
SavePath
Setup=Setup.exe --mode=Silent --deploymentFile="C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Temp\install.xml"
Silent=1
Overwrite=1

is there anyway to use start /wait on setup or on the sfx file. because if i use start/wait repack.exe it just wait until it was unpack and not to the setup.exe is finish

[g-force]

I need some explaination on that:

;Kommentaren nedenfor indeholder SFX kommandoer

Path=C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Temp\
SavePath
Setup=Setup.exe --mode=Silent --deploymentFile="C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Temp\install.xml"
Silent=1
Overwrite=1

What are you trying to do with this comments?
To extract the setup temporarly you just need to set "Temp Mode".
The SFX extracts itself to TEMP, closes, setup is started from TEMP.
What about "repack,exe" - I don`t understand that, what is it good for?

Any way to add a notification windows that the switchless has been finished?

The same question


)))

Hello
I'm new on this website
And I liked this issue, and I was looking for a temporary long-
I'm not good at much English

So I have one question only you write it of end Iodhali

I have a file Winrar I've downloaded from the site and featured in this edition it again Mkirkp by file rarreg. .. So But surprisingly it's the same file Winrar your original company how they were to do that ...?)))

Hello, need help with SFX options.
I have created 2 SFX (.exe) files. One extracts its contents to: C:\Documents and Settings\%Username%\My Documents\My Games
while the other one extracts its contents to: C:\Documents and Settings\%Username%\Local Settings\Application Data

I could use a .bat file to extract each, but I was hoping there is some way in which I could add both .exe files to a WinRAR self-extracting file so that all I have to do is run the one final .exe and both get extracted. Is there any way to actually do this with WinRAR?

The files are for the game Darksiders for PC because the game opens with a resolution that is not compatible with my TV when used as my monitor.

All I've been able to do is to get one of them to run. Under Setup is there anyway to add a Start /wait command.
So that it looks like:
Setup=Darksiders1.exe start/wait, Darksider2.exe

Having this type of a command would definitely help a lot of people like myself out.
Is there anyway I can accomplish this with winrar with out having to add a .bat file.. Like Setup=Darksiders.bat

Batch file:
echo off
.\Darksiders1.exe start \wait
.\Darksiders2.exe

exit

Thanks for Any Help.

Only a couple months late but here goes.

Combine both SFX to one and use the below for silent

;The comment below contains SFX script commands

Path=%UserProfile%
SavePath
Silent=2
Overwrite=2

So the folders you would pack are
My Documents\My Games
Local Settings\Application Data

[Killjoy]

Thank you all for this. After "double-click" on RAR setup, it just asks me to set associations for archives and that is all. Version of WinRAR is 4.01.

This is combined script from here. Thanks to all.

SFX winrar can make shortcut like this?

For example easy cd-da extractor is this:

"C:\Program Files\easy\easy.exe"

and Audio riper is:


"C:\Program Files\easy\easy.exe" -R

How can make shortcut with this -R in sfx??

tks

Is there a way to use Delete= to delete folders?
Cause what my installer does is just add the files to the old folder files. So the new files and the old files are both in the same folder.
What I want to do is delete the old folder first with a command so the new folder will be put and with just the new files.
Is there a way? I really need to know this.

[myselfidem]

You can use the option:

Overwrite=1

I used this one but it still doesn't do what I want to do.
Cause the folder that I want to get rid of is the folder called Artwork.
I want it to be deleted first then extract a new folder with new files also named Artwork.
But what happens is i just get 1 folder with both old and new files in them. Even though I use the Overwrite script.

And for more information,

The artwork folder is just a sub folder of what I want to extract.

[myselfidem]

Example with a folder inside: %userprofile%\Mes Documents\Tweaks\Batchs

1 - Removing first all files inside:.\Tweaks\Batchs\*.*
2 - Install the new files inside the same subfolder
