Super User Asked by Polizi8 on November 1, 2020
I need to compress some files in archives that can be opened by everyone using a Windows PC without 7zip installed.
I thought of running
7z a -t7z -m0=lzma2 -mx=9 -mfb=64 -md=64m -ms=on -sfx -pXXXXXX "dest-archive.exe" "source-folder/"
but this seems to create a Linux (host machine OS) SFX binary.
Is it possible to create Windows SFX archives from Linux?
Is it possible to replace Linux stub with Windows one in already made archives, witout extracting and archiving again?
It doesn't seem to be distributed with the Arch Linux package, but copying the file "C:Program Files7-Zip7z.sfx" to my Linux machine allowed the creation of a Windows SFX archives with
7z a -t7z -m0=lzma2 -mx=9 -mfb=64 -md=64m -ms=on -sfx7z.sfx -pXXXXXX "dest-archive.exe" "source-folder/"
Running
cat 7z.sfx old-linux-archive.exe > new-windows-archive.exe
allowed to prepend the Windows stub to the Linux one, without the need to recompress the archive:
file old-linux-archive.exe
#old-linux-archive.exe: ELF 64-bit LSB pie executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, BuildID[sha1]=e0e81cea3791be68cca1d95da39fbb406b506cd4, for GNU/Linux 3.2.0, stripped
file new-windows-archive.exe
#new-windows-archive.exe: PE32 executable (GUI) Intel 80386, for MS Windows
