Hi,

Actually you don't need the Extract 7Zip Archive command - any content that is used inside a Web Media Block (such as files used in Install Files etc.) is automatically put in to the block (the 7zip archive) and is AUTOMATICALLY extracted for you at runtime.

But is it installed into the correct Target Directory location? Where do I specify that specific location?

You just use the normal file installation commands (such as Install Files).
Any files that are used in these commands are automatically added to the 7z archive and later extracted in a seamless process.

Great, this helps tremendously.

Is there any way to set a password on those generated 7zip files where only InstallAware can access them?

Yes - take a look at the Web Media Block command dialog - there is a password field there.
