compmaniac Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 How do I pack .exes in a xxx.exe so that when I open xxx.exe, the filed that are packed inside it will unpack in the folder. I'm not looking for an unzipper...i'm looking for code that'll do something like kraw's installers... in kraw's installer, it unpacks .exes like fifafs.exe in the folder Link to comment https://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/26401-packing-exes-in-exes/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkB Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Self-extracting archive? I think Nullsoft do some of them, if I remember correctly. Some .exe installers like that are actually just renamed .zip files with a small instruction to unpack the files and run a certain file when the unpacking is complete.

compmaniac Posted January 15, 2007 Author Share Posted January 15, 2007 No, not self-extracting archive. I mean something like's kraw's installers. When you open kraw's installer, several files get unpacked into the folder, and kraw's installer keep running, and it makes use of those exes...get what I mean?
