b0r3d Posted September 10, 2003 Share Posted September 10, 2003 Could someone please explain to me the process involved with raring files, and extracting them silently on install? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nephilim Posted September 10, 2003 Share Posted September 10, 2003 Simple create a SFX (.exe - File) and use the -s switch. eg rarfile.exe -sThat's all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b0r3d Posted September 10, 2003 Author Share Posted September 10, 2003 I was fiddling with the SFX file just a little while ago. Compressing all my hotfixes at high compression saved < 1mb >Does that requre Winrar to be installed before i run it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
remyblade Posted September 10, 2003 Share Posted September 10, 2003 No you don't need it installed. It's selfextracting. p.s. you can use /S to install silently.RemyBlade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanatos Posted September 10, 2003 Share Posted September 10, 2003 Its good for userprofile stuff too, where you have different usernames, because you can extract the files to %userprofile% and then the folders relative to that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
