you need to use 7za.exe if you don't have 7zip installed

[thehalon]

This is a self extracting file.

How do I use 7za.exe??

DetachedProgram = "%systemdrive%\7za.exe"

Arguments = "x SD.7z -aoa"

EDIT:

Tested it... It also doesnt work

[prathapml]

Well, I use the below code in my winnt.sif to extract my drivers (no need of 7za.exe). The file below is an SFX archive created with 7-Zip:

[GuiUnattended]
    DetachedProgram="%systemroot%\PnPdrvrs.exe"
    Arguments="-y /q /r:n"

So now, this will get extracted right into the folder where its located. In other words, after the above command has run, the folder "C:\Windows\PnPdrvrs\" exists, with the extracted files from the archive.

thx a lot! i am going to test it in a few minutes!

EDIT: its not working.... what can be wrong??
