how can i make the script to extract "Extract Here" i mean with winrar..since everyone has it.

this is what i did

ShellExecute("1Update.exe", "", "", "Extract Here")
    Sleep(1000)

and it gave me a pc error ( this file has no prgram asssociated with it...etc.... ) can any1 help me ? al want to is to extract that .exe with the "Extract Here" or instal all files from it somehow without poping up window... thnx..

EDIT::i just tryed also this

myfile.exe is supposed to be a rar file (.sfx file)

FileInstal("myfile.exe", '', "", "myfile.exe")
Sleep(1000)
MsgBox("Update", "blablablabla...")

That's a bit of an exageration. Since XP came out I recomend to clients that they NEVER install WinRAR since Windows has native zip file support, and if you ever send me an rar file it gets returned unopened. I don't have the patience to load my system with unnecessary crap when MS builds enough of it in. On top of that I stopped using WinRAR years ago in favor of 7Zip which is the compression engine used by WinRAR anyway and I seldom even use that anymore simply because I've re-discovered makecab.exe and Extract.exe. I hadn't used them in years until recently and that was because 7zip doesn't always play well with .cab files. I also make sure I have Universal extractor installed which handles pretty much everything I need and it was written using AutoIt.

If your using a RAR SFX then this may work. /S will intiate automatic extraction. You need to specify a path to the SFX file unless the current directory is where the file is.

$exitcode = RunWait('"Path\To\RARsfx.exe" /S')

This will extract 7zip files with folder structure and skips existent files.

$exitcode = RunWait('"' & @ProgramFilesDir & '\7-Zip\7z.exe" x -aos "' & @ScriptDir & '\*.7z"', '', @SW_HIDE)

The help files for either application tells you available CLI switches that you can use.
