Hi! I want to implement a small tool in Python for distributing "patches" and I need Your advice. This application should be able to package all files chosen by a user into a self-extracting.exe so that when you click on it, it will extract the files and run setup.exe which among the other will copy these files into respective folders (the absolute paths could be written in some config file). Of course the files should be extracted first...

Dear all, Are there any utility that can be call by python to create self extracting zip file. I'm now using the powerarchiever. But the command line options aren't flexible enough.

Ok, now that I've got my disk imager program working, I'd like to attach a "self-extractor" to the front end of the image file and make it a self-extracting disk image executable file. The idea being that the user would double-click on the file and the disk would be created. I would like to be able to "create" the self-extracting disk image from my program. Any guidance on how to go about doing this? thanks.

Hi all, I regularly use FTP to place Self Extracting Zip files on the web for remote users to update their datafiles. Works very nicely. I have automated the creation of the initial zip file ( update.zip ), and can automate the FTP'ing of the SE zip file to the update site. I have, as yet, been unable to find a way of automating the creation of a SE zip file from the initial update.zip. I have performed a rather

I created a self extracting zip file with about 9000 files in it. I extracted it manually from the command line without a problem. However, when I tried to do the same extraction at the same location with the same arguments (using the Process class), a command prompt opens, and it begins extracting files. After about 70 files have been extracted, the main form for my application loses focus and I get an hourglass cursor (which is normal,...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
