Looking for a way to create a SelF eXtractor (SFX)

  I was using Wzipsfx32.exe, it did not work through using a bat file, so I downloaded this new self extractor and it worked fine.

  you can use winrar or winzip  command line in your bat file,

  like 'winrar a asdf.rar asdf'. asdf is a folder.

  the popup windows will not display to hang.

  and you can write code in your task.cs to call this bat file.

  then you add the task.dll to your built script. your build script will call the task to auto zip your files.

  If any questions, tell me, I will continue help you.

  note: To call winrar or winzip , you will set the location of winrar.exe or winzip.exe, and set the locatin of the zipped file or folder.

  you can write a bat file . In this file, use rar comnand line. Then write a task dll in Team Build , call this bat file.

  I had actually tried this , but it didn't work because the process was still running at a service TFSService, and there was presumably a popup window which caused it to hang
