Run a portableapp inside a 7z archive silentcon - September 5, 2008 - 8:28am
Is it possible to put the files of a portableapp into a 7z archive? I tried this with clamwin using rar and it work(but slower). Question is, is it really possible or what? [duplicate post removed - moderator PP] ( categories: )

What do you mean? a self
What do you mean? a self extracting archive that autoruns the program? Yes, it is possible. I suggest RAR -m3 as has faster extraction though.

I believe he means running
I believe he means running the executable while it is stored inside an archive. It can be done but expect it to be much slower.
Also,
I think that whatever he wants to run will be extracted to the %temp% folder, who knows if it will get deleted after being used.

If he ensures - he knows. It's really not a problem.
