An easy Installer where it's able to decompressing, take a look

Hi @kkguo ,

i have found a easy solution, maybe for you too.
I have make a WPI pack for me (Windows Post installer)
(take a look in my blackysgate.de/files )
and had need a unattended package for your program.
And , i have Winrar in use too, so what's most close to use easy
winrar, make a compresses sfx-pack, where create links on Startmenu and on desktop if need.. and start a programm or a script at end of the extracting..

• so, you can extract in the "Program Files" Folder
• execute a script or a other binary

stop explorer
set versionsvariable
go into ApkShellExt2-%versionsvariable%
execute bat/cmd and add a deltree command for remove the other folders
goto %ProgramFiles%
deltree ApkShellExt2-"XXXX", ApkShellExt2-"XXXX", ApkShellExt2-"XXXX", ApkShellExt2-"XXXX", ApkShellExt2-"XXXX" (all/ or the last 5 public version of the last releases)
start explorer
adding the ApkshellExt2 dll

• linking in programms or textfiles as lnk on Desktop or in Startmenu

and all is done..

why a hyper super douper and mega expensive Installer, if it is works also more easier..

take my file, extracting and anaysing the batchfile
add deleteing of the past versions "in folder" for remove
if the explorer down and
test my rarfile, and you can create also a Rarfile
and with the shareware-version it's also possible, so..

apkshellext2_v2.0.7-rar-sfx.zip

this file can you extract and testing in Virtualbox

Hi, @blackcrack , it's really a good approach, and I believe it will help a lot of people too.
I would like to treat anything aside the core feature as a secondary development. And as I said, secondary development is always welcome.
Is it possible you could handle the self-extract type installer release in the future? (if any release happening :))
You could make a wiki page in the project and put all your pack there, or/and I can of course add your file into the release page if you permit.
Thanks for your help.
