prometheus0ne Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I have been playing with 7zip SFX module and I'm looking for a way to give the executable a path to extract to, and do so silently. Does anyone know how I might achieve this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allen2 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 To my knowledge, there isn't any command line switch to specify the folder but there is a way to do almost the same: you need to use the installpath with an environment variable. For example, you set it to %7zipsfxinstallpath% when creating the sfx; next, before auto-extracting it, you just need to do a set 7zipsfxinstallpath= to the value you wanted before launching the 7zip sfx.

Geej Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 try this sample config;!@Install@!UTF-8!GUIMode="2"OverwriteMode="0"InstallPath="%programfiles%\\KLOCKS"Shortcut="T,{%%T\\KLOCKSNumOn.exe},{},{},{NumLock On},{numlockon}";!@InstallEnd@!It will put whatever files you have wrapped up to %programfiles%\Klocks when you run it silently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also i wouldn't put the program folder (in your example KLOCKS) in the installpath variable and create the archive with the folder (not only with what is inside the folder).
