You can download +these modules from www.7-zip.org. SFX modules for installers (7zS.sfx and 7zSD.sfx) +allow you to create your own installation program. +Such a module extracts the archive to the user's temp folder, and runs a specified program, +and removes the temp files after the program finishes. +A self-extracting archive for installers must be created as joining 3 files: +SFX_Module, Installer_Config, 7z_Archive. +In addition, an optional file, Installer_Config, is allowed.
