+7-Zip for installers 9.38

+-------------------------

+

+7-Zip is a file archiver for Windows NT/2000/2003/2008/XP/Vista/7/8/10. 

+

+7-Zip for installers is part of LZMA SDK.

+LZMA SDK is written and placed in the public domain by Igor Pavlov.

+

+It's allowed to join 7-Zip SFX module with another software.

+It's allowed to change resources of 7-Zip's SFX modules.

+

+

+HOW to use

+-----------

+

+7zr.exe is reduced version of 7za.exe of 7-Zip.

+7zr.exe supports only format with these codecs: LZMA, LZMA2, BCJ, BCJ2, ARM, Copy.

+

+Example of compressing command for installation packages:

+

+7zr a archive.7z files

+

+7zSD.sfx is SFX module for installers. 7zSD.sfx uses msvcrt.dll.

+

+SFX modules for installers allow to create installation program. 

+Such module extracts archive to temp folder and then runs specified program and removes 

+temp files after program finishing. Self-extract archive for installers must be created 

+as joining 3 files: SFX_Module, Installer_Config, 7z_Archive. 

+Installer_Config is optional file. You can use the following command to create installer 

+self-extract archive:

+

+copy /b 7zSD.sfx + config.txt + archive.7z archive.exe

+

+The smallest installation package size can be achieved, if installation files was 

+uncompressed before including to 7z archive.

+

+-y switch for installer module (at runtime) specifies quiet mode for extracting.

+

+Installer Config file format

+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

+Config file contains commands for Installer. File begins from string 

+;!@Install@!UTF-8! and ends with ;!@InstallEnd@!. File must be written 

+in UTF-8 encoding. File contains string pairs: 

+

+ID_String="Value"

+

+ID_String          Description 

+

+Title              Title for messages 

+BeginPrompt        Begin Prompt message 

+Progress           Value can be "yes" or "no". Default value is "yes". 

+RunProgram         Command for executing. Default value is "setup.exe". 

+                   Substring %%T will be replaced with path to temporary 

+                   folder, where files were extracted 

+Directory          Directory prefix for "RunProgram". Default value is ".\\" 

+ExecuteFile        Name of file for executing 

+ExecuteParameters  Parameters for "ExecuteFile" 

+

+

+You can omit any string pair.

+

+There are two ways to run program: RunProgram and ExecuteFile. 

+Use RunProgram, if you want to run some program from .7z archive. 

+Use ExecuteFile, if you want to open some document from .7z archive or 

+if you want to execute some command from Windows.

+

+If you use RunProgram and if you specify empty directory prefix: Directory="", 

+the system searches for the executable file in the following sequence:

+

+1. The directory from which the application (installer) loaded. 

+2. The temporary folder, where files were extracted. 

+3. The Windows system directory. 

+

+

+Config file Examples

+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

+

+;!@Install@!UTF-8!

+Title="7-Zip 4.00"

+BeginPrompt="Do you want to install the 7-Zip 4.00?"

+RunProgram="setup.exe"

+;!@InstallEnd@!

+

+

+

+;!@Install@!UTF-8!

+Title="7-Zip 4.00"

+BeginPrompt="Do you want to install the 7-Zip 4.00?"

+ExecuteFile="7zip.msi"

+;!@InstallEnd@!

+

+

+

+;!@Install@!UTF-8!

+Title="7-Zip 4.01 Update"

+BeginPrompt="Do you want to install the 7-Zip 4.01 Update?"

+ExecuteFile="msiexec.exe"

+ExecuteParameters="/i 7zip.msi REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=vomus"

+;!@InstallEnd@!

+

+Small SFX modules for installers

+--------------------------------

+

+7zS2.sfx     - small SFX module (GUI version)

+7zS2con.sfx  - small SFX module (Console version)

+

+Small SFX modules support this codecs: LZMA, LZMA2, BCJ, BCJ2, ARM, COPY

+

+Small SFX module is similar to common SFX module for installers.

+The difference (what's new in small version):

+ - Smaller size (30 KB vs 100 KB)

+ - C source code instead of Ñ++

+ - No installer Configuration file

+ - No extracting progress window

+ - It decompresses solid 7z blocks (it can be whole 7z archive) to RAM.

+   So user that calls SFX installer must have free RAM of size of largest 

+   solid 7z block (size of 7z archive at simplest case).

+

+How to use

+----------

+

+copy /b 7zS2.sfx + archive.7z sfx.exe

+

+When you run installer sfx module (sfx.exe)

+1) It creates "7zNNNNNNNN" temp folder in system temp folder.

+2) It extracts .7z archive to that folder

+3) It executes one file from "7zNNNNNNNN" temp folder. 

+4) It removes "7zNNNNNNNN" temp folder

+

+You can send parameters to installer, and installer will transfer them to extracted .exe file.

+

+Small SFX uses 3 levels of priorities to select file to execute:

+

+  1) Files in root folder have higher priority than files in subfolders.

+  2) File extension priorities (from high to low priority order): 

+       bat, cmd, exe, inf, msi, cab (under Windows CE), html, htm

+  3) File name priorities (from high to low priority order): 

+       setup, install, run, start

+

+Windows CE (ARM) version of 7zS2.sfx is included to 7-Zip for Windows Mobile package.

+

+

+Examples

+--------

+

+1) To create compressed console 7-Zip:

+

+7zr a c.7z 7z.exe 7z.dll -mx

+copy /b 7zS2con.sfx + c.7z 7zCompr.exe

+7zCompr.exe b -md22

+

+

+2) To create compressed GUI 7-Zip:

+

+7zr a g.7z 7zg.exe 7z.dll -mx

+copy /b 7zS2.sfx + g.7z 7zgCompr.exe

+7zgCompr.exe b -md22

+

+

+3) To open some file:

+

+7zr a h.7z readme.txt -mx

+copy /b 7zS2.sfx + h.7z 7zTxt.exe 

+7zTxt.exe
