Switchless silent 7zip sfx - path to extract?

[Vadikan]

Hi, All!

I've searched the board, but couldn't find the answer. If you can find a relevant thread, please point me to it. The question I'm about to ask was asked at the Russian board, and I realized I don't know the answer and cannot find it in the 7zip Help either

I know how to make a swtichless silent 7zip installer; however, AFAIK, it extracts the files to the temp folder, then runs a command specified in config.txt, and finally deletes the files from the temp folder. What I'd like to know is how to make a switchless 7zip archive that would silently extract the files to the specified folder. In other words, I'm looking for an option similar to WinRAR's SFX Path to Extract.

I guess I could put some command in config.txt and get the files copied from the temp folder to the location I need, but this is an extra step I'd like to avoid. I could specify the 7zip archive output directory with an -o switch, but I'm looking for a switchless sfx.

Am I missing something from the 7zip manual? Any input is appreciated. Thanks for your attention.

Any ideas or comments?

Sorry for bumping the thread (42 hours, 3rd page)

Never mind. According to the developer's forum it's not possible.

Q. how can i make a 7zip_Sfx.exe auto extract to c:\temp2

A. (Igor Pavlov) Now the only way is runtime switch:

7z.exe -oc:\temp2 -y

Thanks.
