CyberExtrator is the form required to self-extracting executable to unpack and the next time you start the installation. It is, in other words, the engine that makes the executable self-extracting installation packages created by CyberInstaller Studio and the interface that the user will see just sent you running the package distributed.
The
interface looks like a simple dialog that presents:
- The full
name of the installation package content (the application that will be
installed)
- The
author/producer of the package/application (holder of the license)
- The
uncompressed size of the package
In particular, pressing the "Install" button will start unpacking the compressed package and then, if successful end, lancers CyberInstaller, that the installation process itself (Setup.exe). If the package is multiple languages (definition file contains multiple language), after the unpacking is a window from which the user can choose the language in which you want to install and if it detects one language, it will be used without no confirmation.
Note: When you start
CyberExtractor
(ie the executable package) with the command line "/silent"
(note the leading space), this module will be started in silent mode,
ie without showing the user and will immediately begin the process of
unpacking and install automatically. All this in
a transparent way for the end user, which in this way will start the
installation process itself without further complications. It's
possible use this function to produce, for example, CD-ROMs that
autorun (just put the CD in the player) start immediately installing
the package, in order to simplify the procedure up to the end user. Eg: putting
the name of the executable is compressed package "MyContability.exe,
silent running can be activated by running the following command:
MyContability.exe
/silent
Of course,
if you want the whole installation will not be shown to you, you must
also enable mode "silent installation"
in the general settings of the installation package created by CyberInstaller
Studio.
CyberExtractor
- 1.1 Options
Clicking
on the "Options" button will expand the display to the temporary folder
of destination which will be used during the process of unpacking the
package (which was initiated when the user clicks the "Install" button).
By default the temporary folder will be the temporary system or, in the case of multiuser systems, the temporary for the current user logged in (eg C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Temp). It's possible change the temporary folder used by CyberExtractor clicking on "Browse" button, the one with 3 dots. This opens the dialog "Browse Folders". The folder used as a destination for unpacking the package will be a sub folder with the same name of the package, placed in the folder indicated.
Is then given space on the installation disk and corresponding percentage.
If the checkbox "Delete the temporary folder after installation" is checked, once the installation process will terminate (successfully or failed, or the will of the user) in the destination folder (placed in the folder specified) will be automatically removed (only after this operation will be terminated CyberExtractor otherwise remain hidden, running). Otherwise (the box is unchecked) the temporary destination folder is not cleared and can be used for further analysis or to start the installation process manually (by executing the Setup.exe file, or CyberInstaller).
Clicking again on the "Options" window will be restored to its original size.
TIP: it might be helpful to communicate this information to the end user,
perhaps in a readme file.
