Section "-sfx (Create SFX archive) switch" : Command Line Version => Switches => -sfc (Create SFX Archive. And the command line you describe can be found in the main 7-Zip help file (not the SDK, but the one coming with the regular 7-zip installation). LZMA SDK: The 7zSD.sfx file would likely be from the LZMA SDK. Note: several security software on detect Dependencies as a " risk tool, not a virus" (it is open source). It has been updated to handle Windows API-sets and WinSxS (side-by-side assemblies). There is the newer Dependencies - but it is not quite prime-time yet, but try it (click Releases tab). Also, Dependency Walker is aging and shows garbage at times. Or maybe first try to install commonly used C/C++ runtimes. Missing Runtime?: You might also want to do a dependency walker check on that setup.exe to see if it depends on something that is missing on the box (for example MSVCRT.dll - or another runtime library). Unsupported Compression?: 7-Zip: Unsupported method - use LZMA? I suppose this problem could still occur though that answer is a couple of years old. Next check the compression - and then the LZMA SDK Guess: first install the C/ C++ runtimes and see if the problem goes away. Just something to keep in mind and evaluate I guess. These tools have been tested extensively to ensure running with minimal dependencies.

Brief descriptions below as well - under " Alternatives" (free tools, or tools with free features). Setup Tools: Why 7-Zip? There is a plethora of alternatives for creating (real) setups - and several are free: How to create windows installer (several links to tools for creating all kinds of setups). However, it may be that the older version isn't able to unzip something zipped by a newer version. I don't know if the version matters, since you shouldn't need 7-Zip installed since this is a self-extracting file. It has no versioning, but was last modified on. Honestly, I am not sure where I got the 7zsd.sfx file, but do remember having to hunt it down. I have 7-Zip version 18.05 (x86) installed. However, if I try to click on it, I get a message saying 7-Zip: Unsupported method. Clicking on this would start the installer.Īfter the update, I can still make the file, and it looks just fine. Which packages everything into a single file called " setup.exe". I then callĬopy /b 7zsd.sfx + config.txt + setup.7z setup.exe I have confirmed that the files are archived correctly. I use a Windows Installer from Visual Studio 2010 to create the installation package, which I add to a file called setup.7z. Recently, my computer was updated, and I can no longer get it to work. I use 7zip to create an installer package. If this is not the correct place to ask this, I apologize.
