Etz Posted September 15, 2012 Posted September 15, 2012 For example I have a lots of software, originally ZIP or RAR archives, which contain actual files + Setup.Would it be possible to add option to add archives as silent Installer?So on install, it would be first extracted and then specified "setup file" executed with specified switches.Only thing that is needed to accomplish this would be minor changes in code and include 7z.exe.

mooms Posted September 15, 2012 Posted September 15, 2012 You can simply package them in a sfx archive with silent switch(es).Just learn to do a sfx with 7zip, it is light and powerful. Quote
Etz Posted September 15, 2012 Author Posted September 15, 2012 (edited) Idea is, use them as they are...Of course I could always extract them, but as long I use different program to keep them always up to date, and downloads new ones as they are published...I always end up, with "original packages" I know how to create archive, hence I can create also Installers...Point, is to make my life (maybe some other guys) lot easier... I dont really like to repackage them, but use them as they are "packaged by manufacturer" already...For example, ASUS drivers/software is always ZIP`ed...As this "other program" downloads them to my HDD (if they are updated on their websites), I would pretty much like to use them as they ar (without any additiona effort)...

Etz Posted September 23, 2012 Author Posted September 23, 2012 (edited) Actually we as well, may forget about it.As it seems, some software makers, tend sometimes to change structure of their archives...so anyway I always have to extract those... Edited September 23, 2012 by Etz Quote
