Zip and unzip during installation

Post by kishorkk23 »

Hi,
We have a software which has many files, So I was wondering that we can zip the files in during creating build and unzip then during installation.
Does IA support this?
Where can I find the help related to this?

Kishorkk23,

You can. Have a look at the "unzip 7zip" command. It csn, as the name says, unzip .7z archives. So just pack your files with 7z.

Dear user,

It is not true.
If you press F1 while the "Extract 7Zip Archive" command dialog is active ... you will see the help documentation.
