HOW to use\r
-----------\r
\r
7zr.exe is reduced version of 7za.exe of 7-Zip.\r
7zr.exe supports only format with these codecs: LZMA, LZMA2, BCJ, BCJ2, ARM, Copy.\r
\r
Example of compressing command for installation packages:\r
\r
7zr a archive.7z files\r
\r
7zSD.sfx is SFX module for installers. 7zSD.sfx uses msvcrt.dll.\r
\r
SFX modules for installers allow to create installation program. \r
Such module extracts archive to temp folder and then runs specified program and removes \r
temp files after program finishing. Self-extract archive for installers must be created \r
as joining 3 files: SFX_Module, Installer_Config, 7z_Archive. \r
Installer_Config is optional file. You can use the following command to create installer \r
self-extract archive:\r
\r
copy /b 7zSD.sfx + config.txt + archive.7z archive.exe\r
\r
The smallest installation package size can be achieved, if installation files was \r
uncompressed before including to 7z archive.\r
\r
-y switch for installer module (at runtime) specifies quiet mode for extracting.\r
\r
Installer Config file format\r
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\r
Config file contains commands for Installer. File begins from string \r
;!@Install@!UTF-8! and ends with ;!@InstallEnd@!. File must be written \r
in UTF-8 encoding. File contains string pairs: \r
\r
ID_String="Value"\r
\r
ID_String          Description \r
\r

Progress           Value can be "yes" or "no". Default value is "yes". \r
RunProgram         Command for executing. Default value is "setup.exe". \r
                   Substring %%T will be replaced with path to temporary \r
                   folder, where files were extracted \r

\r
There are two ways to run program: RunProgram and ExecuteFile. \r
Use RunProgram, if you want to run some program from .7z archive. \r
Use ExecuteFile, if you want to open some document from .7z archive or \r
if you want to execute some command from Windows.\r
\r
If you use RunProgram and if you specify empty directory prefix: Directory="", \r
the system searches for the executable file in the following sequence:\r
\r
1. The directory from which the application (installer) loaded. \r
2. The temporary folder, where files were extracted. \r
3. The Windows system directory. \r
