Show the code you use to create the self-extracting archive.  If you want Japanese filenames, you will need to use UTF-8 encoding.  Have you done that?  At the time you created the SFX, did you make sure to use UTF-8 encoding for the filenames?  Show your code.

Hi,

\r\n

Case1:

\r\n

The following is the code which we used for creating self extractable exe, We didn't used encoding here

\r\n
Using zip1 As New ZipFile()
\r\n
 \tzip1.AddDirectory(sMoveDirectory)
\r\n
\t zip1.Comment = \"This will be embedded into a self-extracting exe\"
\r\n
\tDim sSaveOption As New SelfExtractorSaveOptions
\r\n
\t sSaveOption.Flavor = SelfExtractorFlavor.WinFormsApplication
\r\n
\t sSaveOption.Quiet = False
\r\n
\t zip1.SaveSelfExtractor(StageDir & \"\\\" & sTargetFile & \".exe\", sSaveOption)
\r\n
End Using
\r\n
 we didn't got any files after extraction but when we click on 'ShowContents' button of exe we got files with it's part of the name is replaced with '?????'
\r\n

Case2:
\r\n
 
\r\n
The following is the code which we used for creating self extractable exe, we used encoding here
\r\n
Using zip1 As New ZipFile()\r\n\r\n                        zip1.AlternateEncodingUsage = Ionic.Zip.ZipOption.Always\r\n                        zip1.AlternateEncoding = Text.Encoding.UTF7\r\n\r\n                        zip1.AddDirectory(sMoveDirectory)\r\n                        zip1.Comment = \"This will be embedded into a self-extracting exe\"\r\n\r\n                        Dim sSaveOption As New SelfExtractorSaveOptions\r\n                        sSaveOption.Flavor = SelfExtractorFlavor.WinFormsApplication\r\n                        sSaveOption.Quiet = False\r\n\r\n                        zip1.SaveSelfExtractor(StageDir & \"\\\" & sTargetFile & \".exe\", sSaveOption)\r\n\r\n                    End Using\r\n
\r\n

'sMoveDirectory' directory contains the files with japanese name for example 'Deki Search Test 日本語 エクセル.xls', When we extract files using that exe we got file but with different name 'Deki Search Test +ZeVnLIqe- +MKgwrzC7MOs-.xls' 
\r\n
actually we want to get the same file with it's original japanese name ('Deki Search Test 日本語 エクセル.xls')   
\r\n
Can you tell me how to get files with it's original japanese name after extraction
\r\n

\r\n
Thank you.

santhoshraoj,
\r\n
Have you tried Text.Encoding.UTF8? I am just creating regular zip files with Japanese / Chinese characters and using UTF8 works for me. I am able to unzip the files in its original text.
\r\n
Actually I did not know how to zip unicode characters until I saw your post using AlternateEncoding, so thanks!

Use UTF8 encoding.  Check the documentation on AlternateEncoding.  Do not specify UTF7.  Specify UTF8.  Read the documentation to understand why you must use UTF8 and not UTF7.
