CA RO Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 I am using Setup Factory 7 to make the installer but the compression ratio is more than 50%, so I am trying to use 7Zip with Setup Factory 7I am thinking of running an exe file of the 7zipped-firefox and extract to TEMP, then use Setup Factory to copy the folder of Firefox to Program files.But now I can't make the exe file of 7zipped-firefox auto extract, it always show dialog box of where it will extract to. how to solve this?And, any better installer builder than setup factory?

dman Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 Try IZArc. I use it to make auto-extractors for BartPE Plugins. It is .7z capable and has nice options for self-extractor such as default path and supress extraction folder dialog.http://www.snapfiles.com/get/izarc.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleepnmojo Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 keytotime posted a nice tutorial on how to make one at Ryan's forum.I do something similar, but do everything in a command line.If you aren't making any changes to the installer, then use the default one, as that is already 7zip compressed.

JohnS Posted May 22, 2005 Share Posted May 22, 2005 I have a question that is somehow related to this topic.I am trying to edit the config.ini that is inside the original install file of Firefox.I know that it is a 7zip sfx file.I can see inside the pack with Winrar and 7zip, but they don't let me edit or repleace the files inside them.I thought I could unpack the original file, edit the config.ini and then repack again with 7zip, but I don't know what is the code of the original sfx pack.Can someone help, please?
