setup

I'm trying to build a sfx (self extracting archive) using winrar.

I'm using VS2008 to build a setup.exe and a myapp.msi. If setup.exe is executed it does some checking an launches myapp.msi

I'm using some sfx options to make the extraction quiet and make it extract so some temp folder:

;Der folgende Kommentar enthält SFX-Skriptbefehle

Setup=setup.exe
TempMode
Silent=2
Overwrite=1

It seems winrar deletes the msi right after setup.exe is launched. Setup.exe can't find the msi and crashes. Is there some way to fix this?

I did a few tests on different filetypes and sizes comparing the 7-Zip and WinRAR default settings on their normal compression and their best compression, and in a lot of cases WinRAR was… >>> More
