Make 7z SFX files quick and easy.

Webstas — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 17:11:40 +0000

I recently stumbled apon a nice little program that will take your 7z compressed files and create a SFX executable, why would you need this when its "Kind of" build into the 7z gui? well the 7z gui leaves out alot of options unless you know there parameters this Gui takes care of it for you. It makes a seamless program that you can use to make installers, or just to send to another user that doesnt have 7z installed and the best part... its all OpenSource.

Features

Change SFX icon.
Create shortcuts for current user or all users.
Create environment variables.
Run multiple programs one by one after extraction.
Delete SFX file after extraction (Self-delete)

Hide extraction progress.
Compress SFX stub with UPX to reduce size.
Enable/disable XP Visual style.
Set extraction path. Allow/deny users to change the path.
Extract to temporary folder for software setups.

Built into Windows since Windows 95 there his a hidden program that will compile and compress files and folder and create a nice little executable package, Its called Iexpress. IExpress can be used to quickly compress alot pictures, music, files to share on any windows computer without any third party software. It can also be used to compile batch files into Executables. Its easy to find just click Start then run or in the search box type iexpress and hit enter.

FC Portables

Hate installing stuff? sometimes its nice to just get a file/program and just be able to run it like in the old days. FC Portables is a dedicated collection of programs that have been build or converted to run as a single file (ex to be placed on a thumb drive), this is great for a student that doesn't have a laptop but still uses workstations at school and work.
