From: kh1 Creates self extracting archive. Specifies the SFX module that will be combined with the archive.
+ This module must be placed in the same directory as the 7z.exe.
+ If {SFX_Module} is not assigned, 7-Zip will use standard console
+ SFX module 7zCon.sfx.
+All SFX modules are uncompressed. You can use UPX program
+(http://upx.sourceforge.net)
+to compresss such modules. After compressing by the UPX program, the size of the
+sfx module will be reduced to 40-50% of its original size.
+ SFX modules for installers are included in an external package (7z_extra). 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. You can use the following command to
+create an installer self-extracting archive: An optimally small installation package size can be achieved,
+if the installation files are uncompressed before including them in the 7z archive. -y switch for installer module specifies quiet mode extraction.
+This config file contains commands for the Installer. The file begins with the string
+;!@Install@!UTF-8! and ends with ;!@InstallEnd@!.
+The file must be written in UTF-8 encoding.
+The file contains any or all these string pairs:
+ ID_String="Value"
+ -sfx (Create SFX archive) switch

+ +If you use RunProgram, and if you specify empty directory prefix: Directory="", +the system searches for the executable file in the following sequence:
