Archive: How do I actually extract files?


How do I actually extract files?
This might be trivial but I have not been able to find out how...
I have a WinZip file that I have converted to an EXE using zip2exe. The EXE has a number of my files and directories. I have been writing a NSIS script that does a number of things using Modern UI (a wonderful UI creator). I also want it to extract all the files and directories from the EXEfile without calling the ExecWait command (i.e. I do not want a new process to be started). I have tried File /r EXEfile but that just copies the EXEfile to $OUTDIR. How do I actually extract the files in my script ? Do I have to ExecWait EXEfile? Or is there a better option? (Note: there in no DLL nor do I want to add to any registry). Am I missing something here ?


Why Extracting a ZIP File?

NSIS does Support FileCompression via
LZMA and others
