Console RAR SFX module (WinCon.SFX)


Using this module you can create self-extracting archives, which can be extracted in text mode in Windows command prompt. This module cannot be executed in MS DOS.

WinRAR x64 also includes WinCon64.SFX, which is 64 bit version of this SFX module. By default WinRAR x64 uses 32 bit version, but you can select 64 bit module explicitly in SFX options: Module dialog. Resulting 64 bit SFX archive will work only in Windows x64.

This module supports the following command line switches:

-e  Extract from archive (default action)

-t   Test archive files

-v  Verbosely list contents of archive

-?  Show help

Exit codes returned by console self-extracting archives when terminating are the same as WinRAR exit codes.
