Hi.. Here source code of self extracting using winzip file private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { Chilkat.Zip zip = new Chilkat.Zip(); zip.UnlockComponent("30-day trial"); // Set this property to use an icon for the EXE that is created. zip.ExeIconFile = "box.ico"; // Use this property to automatically unzip when the EXE is double-clicked. // True = EXE has no interface, False (the default) = EXE includes interface zip.ExeNoInterface = true; // Causes the EXE to automatically unzip to a pre-set directory. zip.ExeUnzipDir = "c:\temp\myApp"; // Causes the EXE to run a program (that was contained within the EXE) // immediately after extracting. zip.AutoRun = "Setup.exe"; // Parameters can be passed to the AutoRun program. zip.AutoRunParams = "-x -a -b"; // Causes the creation of an EXE that has no interface, // and automatically selects a temporary directory for // unzipping. //zip.AutoTemp = true; // Initialize the Zip object and add some files. zip.NewZip("blahblahblah.zip"); // zip.AppendOneFileOrDir("Setup.exe",false); zip.AppendOneFileOrDir("hamlet.xml",false); // Create the self-extracting EXE. bool success = zip.WriteExe("myPackage.exe"); if (!success) { MessageBox.Show(zip.LastErrorText); } else { MessageBox.Show("Created SFX!"); } } Using Winrar go through this link -------------------------------- http://vamsee-konda.blogspot.in/2012/01/creating-self-executing-installer-with.html
