Actual Installer Forum

Good morning,

I was wondering about this point: if we create a setup + data with Actual Installer, will the data.zip be protected by a password? But, most important, why does a dos box appears showing the progress of the extraction? Isn't there a way of unzipping this data with a graphical module instead of the "uggly" dos box? (don't get me wrong: I love msdos...)

Kind regards,

Kepler

Hi Kepler,

A source file "data.zip" cannot be password-protected from Actual Installer.
Regarding the process of extracting files from this file, this is performed by 3rd-party tool - 7-zip.
And there is no way to hide its window.

But here is a solution:
Using 7-zip you can manually create a password-protected archive. An example is described here:

Then you need to add a command (page System \ Commands) in Actual Installer to extract it (with Hide mode enabled): More details what this command means:
