Here's the thing.
I need to automate the process of locating a file, compress to a .ZIP, then to convert that to a SFX self-extracting file that is configured to extract to a specific folder on the user's computer.
To 'partially' automate this, I have done the following.
1. Create a BATCH file. The command lines are...
To create the ZIP file, I am using the PACL program called PACOMP.
To create the SFX file, I'm calling the POWERARC -tosfx command.
2. After running the BATCH, I have to manually edit the destination folder, assign 'overwrite' option, etc.
I would think that it would not be difficult to add additional 'args' for powerarc.exe so that these settings can be included on the command line (and thus in my batch file to completely automate this).
This process is something I must do regularly, so having the ability to do this via the command prompt (batch file) would be really, really nice.
Thanks.
