There is also a description of which module you need for the particular use-case: It's what you already did and posted here. The whole process of creating installer is well documented, including an example of the config file and batch file you need to use to pack the installer. If SFX_Module is not assigned, 7-Zip will use standard This module must be placed in the same directory as theħz.exe. SFX_Module - Specifies the SFX module that will be combined with theĪrchive. It's more "the need" to deliver an extra 7zr.exe file than the file size itself.Ī simple -silent switch would be extremly great because you could always use Self-Extracting-7z files to deploy things via systems like Microsoft SCCM (CM).According to the -sfx (Create SFX archive) switch and Command Line Version User's Guide: exe file is ~200kb instead of using (and delivering) a 7zr.exe (~800kb) file. Only use the created Self-Extracting-7z file (with a console command) to being extracted (unziped) completely silent. If this would be possible (hiding the extraction gui), we wouldn't need to deliver the 7zr.exe (or something else) to PC2. On PC2 (Windows): Extract the created FileName.exe (from PC1) completely silent without 7z program being installed on PC2!.On PC1 (Windows): Create a Self-Extracting-7z file (7z got installed in this PC).:-Dīasically all of this is a Feature Request or the question if our need already works somehow. I guess I drifted away from the main topic a bit, my bad.


Thanks for the listing, I already understood the. So that there is no need to trust that 7z is already installed on that machine, even when we are sure it will up to 99,9% chance. 7z file.īut since we can't be 100% sure that 7z will be available on this machine we tried the Self Extracting variant / deliver the 7z.exe and 7z.dll in the Package itself and then execute it directly. Normally I could access the installed 7z to extract my Software Package. Is there already a possibility to extract this Self Extracting File on a Windows Device without 7z being installed? My " Feature Request" is more like using the installed 7z program to create a Self Extracting 7z Container File, which you can open with double click (GUI) but also with a silent console parameter. I'll have a look at the 7zr.exe but this also means I would have to transfer an extra file with my Software-Package instead of using the already build Self Extracting 7z File with console to extract it fully silent. So I thought it would be a great idea to implement (in the future) a hidden extraction of a Self Extracting 7z File, activated with a console parameter. So it's "automated", yes, but not hidden so this will interrupt the user while working on this machine. It instantly extracted the 7z Container File, but sadly it shows the GUI while extracting (unzip) it.
