I used the library to create an SFX Ionic.Zip autorun, I want to run a command file PostExtractCommandLine .exe that is within the SFX. With the command DefaultExtractDirectory predefined place\r\n to extract SFX files and when to run the .exe I receive the following error in cmd:
\r\n\r\n

This is my code:
\r\n\r\n
\r\n
public void CreateSFX(string pPath, string pNameFile, string pFileToRun, string pPathToExtract)\r\n {\r\n ZipFile zip = new ZipFile();\r\n zip.AddDirectory(pPath, System.IO.Path.GetFileName(pPath));\r\n \r\n SelfExtractorSaveOptions options = new SelfExtractorSaveOptions();\r\n options.ExtractExistingFile = ExtractExistingFileAction.OverwriteSilently;\r\n options.Flavor = SelfExtractorFlavor.ConsoleApplication;\r\n options.PostExtractCommandLine = pPathToExtract + "\\\\" + pFileToRun;\r\n options.DefaultExtractDirectory = pPathToExtract;\r\n options.Quiet = false;\r\n options.RemoveUnpackedFilesAfterExecute = true;\r\n\r\n zip.SaveSelfExtractor(pNameFile + ".exe", options);\r\n }\r\n
Thank you, Saylis

It seems like the file you are trying to run (pFileToRun), does not exist.
\r\nYou need to make sure it exists.

Yes, well, the error that you get
\r\nSystem.ComponentModel.Win32Exception <0x80004005>: The system cannot find the file specified
\r\n...indicates that the file does not exist, your assertions notwithstanding. The computer knows whether the file actually exists, and it is telling you the file does not exist.
\r\nYou said you even go to \"the road\". I am not sure what a \"road\" is in this context. You need to figure out why your view disagrees with the view of the operating system. I suggest replacing your desired command with a \"dir\" command (you will need to specify \"%windir%\\system32\\cmd.exe /c dir ...\" as the command) or ls.exe or something like that, redirecting the output, so you can see the contents of the directory, where you believe the application.exe file to reside.
\r\nThe error you are experiencing is not the result of a problem or bug in the Dotnetzip library. It results from a problem with your usage of the library. You'll need to figure it out. The best help I can offer to you is a suggestion on how to diagnose it.
\r\nGood luck.

\nIn my case, I extract all files to a specific folder, the file should run automatically you must copy the other files that are next to him for another folder, but this does not work when I use the PostExtractCommandLine. If one command to extract and then manually run my main file, everything is done without any problems. If I use the automatic execution function does not work then it is as if it were running in a temporary folder or something, because this does not see the other files.
\nI've done several tests for to diagnose the problem and do not work.

it's no problem, there's no need to apologize about the english. I only wanted to explain that I did not know what you meant by \"go to the road.\"
