I need to create a self-extracting archive for DOS. It's on a legacy project that currently uses lha (by Haruyasu Yoshizaki) to create the self-extractor. This does work, however when it runs it asks if we want to replace ever file. For hundreds of files it is a bit of an issue.
So what I need is a way to create executables that will self-extract and provide a yes to all type option on the extractor. It also obviously has to be able to run on DOS.
I have searched on the internet and can find programs that do it but they all seem to need 32-bit.
Half-serious suggestion to create a regular lha self-extracting archive, then patch it with Hiew or another similar tool to skip the prompt. Also, I seem to remember both Total Commander and 32-bit WinRAR having MS-DOS-compatible self-extractors. – user1686 – 2013-08-12T07:37:53.230
