How to execute a bat file inside exe? (exe created using WinRAR sfx)


I want to create an exe file which includes mysql.msi and java.zip. I have written vbscript to install mysql and extract java file in C: drive. It works fine.

Now my problem is:

Convert the source folder as exe by using WinRAR sfx option.

How can I execute the vbscript or bat file (for executing vbscript) when I click the created exe?

Has anybody a solution?


Solution

  • SFX commands: Setup i.e., Setup = <program>

    SFX will try to execute after successful extraction. The folder containing extracted files is set as the current before executing . If a program name contains spaces, it must be enclosed in quotes.

    Example

    Setup = setup.exe
