Problem

I looked everywhere and couldn't find a straight answer from anyone. If I want to package the contents of C:\Temp into a file called Temp.exe (in 7z format) that is self-extracting, how do I do it in a batch file? This doesn't work: What I get from that is a self extracting archive called 7z.sfx . …

Error Output

"C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe" a -t7z -mx5 -sfx 7z.sfx directoryname archive.exe -mmt
