7z SFX Modified Module and Tools

[gora]

Q

How do the commands run? Do they run in the order they are shown in the config?

A

There are 4 types of commands of start of programs: ' AutoInstall ', ' AutoInstallX ', ' RunProgram ' and ' ExecuteFile '. At a configuration file there can be any of these of 4 types and even everything, but after start SFX of archive one type of commands of start can be carried out only.

Commands of start of programs in each type (' AutoInstall ', ' AutoInstallX ' and ' RunProgram ') can be a little, are processed they (within each type) in that sequence in which are specified in a configuration file, the termination of the previous command and after that the following is started thus is expected.

Parametre InstallPath is not a command of start of programs. It specifies a place of unpacking of archive. Commands of start of programs are started ONLY after archive unpacking.

In your case it is possible to make so:

RunProgram="batch file to kill my task here"
RunProgram="batch file to clear the destination directory"
; InstallPath="extract to the recently cleared destination directory"
RunProgram="Copying of files from temporary folder to destination directory..."
RunProgram="batch file to do something else..."
RunProgram="batch file to do something else..."

In the absence of parametre InstallPath unpacking will occur in a temporary folder

will there be any update given that the base 7-Zip program has now been updated to v4.62?

[cybpsych]

i second this request for 7zip 4.62

anyway, a gui for SFX is most appreciated

this post, http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?s=&amp...st&p=719148 , points to a dead link now. I used this SFX before, it's gorgeous, but only provides basic functionality.

The program and this tool have nothing to do with each other

have any1 encountered icon problem when modifying the SFX using XN Resource Editor?

If using XN REsource Editor, the icon won't show on the dialogs. If I use Resource Hacker, the icon shows.

p/s: I like XN Reosource Editor because editing the Version is easier

It would be great if you could also include images (example: http://www.hanzify.org/teach/UserFiles/Image/cabdo9.jpg)

Maybe you could also make a 7-Zip SFX plug-in with the ability to change the icon without the need of a ressource editor.

If all you need is to extract the archive content to a certain folder, you need to specify a value for 'InstallPath' in the config file. In this case you should not specify 'RunProgram' or 'ExecuteFile' in the config file. 'AutoInstall' or 'AutoInstallX' may be specified in the config file, but should not be invoked via the command line or with the [sHIFT] key. If you specify 'RunProgram' or 'ExecuteFile' or invoke 'AutoInstall' and 'AutoInstallX', the specified executable will be launched after the extraction.

I'm getting desperate. It is exactly what I am trying, but I keep getting an error telling me that setup.exe could not be found.

What could be the problem? Thanks!

Modules, Help files (Russian), Site (Russian) are updated. Many functions are added. Change of appearance of dialogue windows and use RTF in texts is possible.

To load it is possible here. For studying of new possibilities use online translator.

Are the configuration options backwards compatible (keep settings from older module)?

I would like to install with a dos Instruction and wondering how it goes:

here the cmd:

copy /y "%WINDIR%\system32\Adobe\Director\np32dsw.dll" "%ProgramFiles%\Mozilla Firefox\plugins\"

and my 7z cmd, is this correct with the DOUBLE backslashes (\\) and the double quotes (\")

especially at the end of my code (...plugins\\\")?

RunProgram="hidcon:cmd /c copy \"%WINDIR%\\system32\\Adobe\\Director\\np32dsw.dll\" \"%ProgramFiles%\\Mozilla Firefox\\plugins\\\" /y "

Thanks for input.

Hi there, thank you for your module. I have a little cosmetic problem: i cannot make shortcut icon to work. This is my simple config.txt:

;!@Install@!UTF-8!
InstallPath="%ProgramFiles%\\JDownloader"
GUIMode="1"
Shortcut="P, {%%T\\JDownloader.exe}, {}, {JDownloader}, {}, {} {%%T\\} {%%T\\JDownloader.exe} {1}"
;!@InstallEnd@!

shorcut is created but icon is blank. Going to properties -> change icon shows that the %ProgramFiles% variable is not expanded correctly (my case is C:\Programmi\JDownloader).

Am i wrong?

Correct variants of a line for your case:

Shortcut="P, {%%T\\JDownloader.exe}, {}, {JDownloader}, {}, {}, {%%T\\}, {%%T\\JDownloader.exe}, {0}"

Shortcut="P, {%%T\\JDownloader.exe}, {}, {JDownloader}, {}, {}, {%%T\\}, {%%T\\JDownloader.exe}"

Shortcut="P, {%%T\\JDownloader.exe}, {}, {JDownloader}, {}, {}, {%%T\\}"
