Hi I am using winrar for about 2 years now. never had this problem. Generally i creat sfx. Now when i use winrar 3.51 to creat a sfx of a file. it ends up up with a icon like this When i double click on it, dos window pops up for half a sec and disappears. How can this be fixed?
SFX modules: a) SFX modules are not compressed by UPX anymore, so they are larger now. UPX compression caused numerous false alerts by antivirus software. If you wish to use compressed modules, you can get UPX from UPX: the Ultimate Packer for eXecutables - Homepage and compress *.sfx files in WinRAR folder; b) The default SFX logo can be replaced by a custom bitmap file. You can do it either with "Load SFX logo from the file" option in "Text and icon" part of "Advanced SFX options" dialog or using -iimg command line switch. Note that -iimg is not supported by console RAR, only GUI WinRAR recognizes it. This option is not supported in Windows 95, 98 and Me. Also you cannot use it if you compressed SFX modules by UPX. c) It is possible to specify user defined SFX icons larger than 32x32 and with any color depth. Like the previous item, this improvement is valid only if SFX modules are not compressed by UPX and your operating system is not Windows 9x/Me; d) DOS.SFX module moved to RAR/DOS32 distributive. If you need to create DOS SFX archives using WinRAR, just copy DOS.SFX to WinRAR folder. There is lot more information available [link=http://www.rarlab.com/rarnew.htm]Over Here[/link]
An SFX archive is self extracting. When you double clicked on the file, it extracted it somewhere on your computer. Since HijackThis is such a small program, i suspect this is why it is so quick at extracting. Personally, i create Solid Archives for better compression.
