How to Convert apz to exe

[bphlpt]

Can someone please remind me how to convert an apz to an sfx exe? ::sigh:: Getting old is a royal pain. LOL

EDIT: I assume you use 7z.SFX.Builder to build the sfx? But if there is a way to edit the file once created to make changes, I didn't see any obvious way. And how do you set the execution order of whatever is in the sfx exe?

sorry but all the setups extra tools seem to be missing from the forum. I am not home and haven't been for many days, so i can access them. Freezer made a apz to sfx tool specifically for this, i can't remember the name off the top of my head, but I just know i used it to make the sfx for first login. maybe freezer can chime in with the missing tools.

Yes, that tool is called ssXFormer:

It allows for various options on the resulting .exe-file for reporting and fadertainer.

It is also possible to edit the .exe-file directly with 7-Zip -- such as adding or removing multiple .apz-files.

(The link provides various versions of ssXFormer; likely they're different rev-levels of the tools such as SetupS, 7-Zip, etc.)
