[NFBCS] Making a Windows self-extracting exe file.

[Glen Gordon]

There's also 7-Zip which is open-source and Free and which will do the same thing. It has good documentation.

Hello John:

     I suggest you consider Winzip. See the site:
www.winzip.com

Winzip can create a .zip file and also an .exe file which when run will create a group of files. The last I knew, it was also possible to run Winzip from the command line. Hope this helps.

Regards,
Robert

Hello,

How would I go about this. I would like the file to place all the unzipped files in the cdorrect folders, like a package in Linux. Is there a tutorial?

Thanks,
John
