Adding/Modifying Icon to SFXCAB

[roytam1]

I added Win2000 style installer icon to SFXCAB-6.2.29.

To change icon:

1. Before modifying, note down the file size of sfxcab.exe and convert it to little ending hex (a). (i.e.: 40,448 bytes => 9E00h => 00 9E)
2. After modified with resource editor, note down the new file size of sfxcab.exe and convert it to little ending hex (b).
3. Open sfxcab.exe with hex editor, find the "(a) 00 80" sequence (i.e. "00 9E 00 80"), and it should only have 1 occurrence.
4. Change (a) with (b) and then save.
5. Recalculate PE checksum with PEChecksum.

To use:

copy /b sfxcab.exe+yourcab.cab yourcab.exe

To autorun:

Open cab with hex editor before "copy /b", change "20"(hex) to "60"(hex) just before the filename you desired to autorun after extraction.

I always create installer with CABARC.EXE +  IEXPRESS.EXE

1. compress all folder to cab. ... for example example.cab

2. make cmd file

@echo off
extrac32 /y /e /l .\ .\EXAMPLE.CAB > nul
INSATALLER.EXE

setup.cmd

 

3. create Package with  IEXPRESS to run setup.cmd

Since I don't like double extraction, my modified update packages will continue to use SFXCAB.

IExpress can not pack both folders and files, this hack makes available it !

If you do not need folder you can make install package with single extraction.
