Description

Just another sfx package creator written in whole using NSIS scripting lang. The benefit of its use is that it builds small self extracting packages using lzma compression, thus, the implementation of the small NSIS exe header. Moreover, it has a simple, straight forward, a few clicks mode user interface.
The application consists mainly of two insances called NSIS Sfx Package Builder and NSIS Sfx Package Extractor.
Builder is the user interface where users with just a few clicks, they can select files that reside in a folder, or even a whole directory structure, and place them in a self extracting package ready for distribution.
Extractor is the resultant distributed package. With its simple user interface, its mainly purpose is to extract the packaged files/directories in a selected path on the target computer, reconstructing the original directory structure if any.

  • Requires an active NSIS installation on systems where building packages.
  • Partially based on RecFind.nsh by Afrow UK - thanks Stu!
  • In deep based on NSIS - thanks NSIS
  • Comments and suggestions are welcome.
  • Source code provided by request.

Disclaimer

This application is fully tested for being compatible with Windows XP SP 2. While your platform might be a different Win 32, and since I am not able to confirm the full compatibility with any platform, this forewarning should take place here.
You may use the application at your own risk.
Because of its dependency on NSIS, it is most likely that there is not any compatibility issue with all Win 32 platforms since NSIS supports them all.
Though, in the most unlikely case to encounter problems, you must agree that you use it at your own risk.
