Creating Self-Extracting Archive

There are three ways to create a self-extracting archive:

From the ZIP plugin menu

If you have already created a ZIP archive, you can convert it to a self-extracting archive using the Create Self-Extracting Archive command from the Plugins/ZIP menu.

Specifying an option in the Create New Archive dialog

When you pack files to a new archive (using the Pack command from the Files menu), the ZIP plugin displays the Create New Archive dialog. To create a self-extracting archive, check Create self-extracting archive in this dialog. If this dialog doesn't appear, check Display dialog with extended options before packing in your ZIP Configuration.

Creating a self-extracting archive from the command prompt

This feature is not available directly in the ZIP plugin; it is provided by a standalone application called Zip2Sfx, which is located in the plugins\zip\zip2sfx subdirectory of Sally's installation directory.
