<br />

SetOutPath "D:\TragetDir" ;Target dir for extract.<br />
<br />
;The number after the archive name can be 1 or 0 <br />
;1 Display FreeArc DetailsPrint, 0 leave DetailsPrint to NSIS ( do nothing ). <br />
FreeArc::ExtractFreeArcArchive /NOUNLOAD "$EXEDIR\archive.arc" 1 "Installing %s..." <br />
<br />
