Solve : Pack a file with a compressor that extract that file in any OS?

Answer»

Hi Brothers,

i want that if i compress a file rget.exe with any compressor like Win RAR

or winZip or any other but it should have the ability to extrect that file in

any operating system like UNIx, LINEx and Windows

Tell me many so i can choose any one of them...........

Thanks Usman

I'm not so sure about Linux or Unix, but if you compress rget.exe into a .zip file, it can be opened (uncompressed) on any other computer if it has any archiving program installed. (like WinRar, 7-zip, ect...)Also, please don't start a poll when asking a question like this one, especially when the two possible answers are the same.There is no one single way to extract a file in any operating system, they all have a different executable PLATFORM, thus, an executable will only work on one operating system.

Most common operating systems will open .ZIP files. Windows ME and up in Windows open ZIP fine WITHOUT needing to install extra software, Mac OS 8.6 and Up have the same story (You need to FIND Alladin, a program that manages ZIP files) and most newer Linux distributions support ZIP as well.


Also, I presume you ACCIDENTALLY added a poll, being both questions were the same, so I removed itWhen ever i do i pool ist of all i see all posing and answers on the page and some time on the next page. but when i dont find my answer then i ask question. i am i new user so that i dont know how to ask a question without pooling.Tell me some name of that type of compression softwaress that extract file when double clicked, in any operatng system. then i will experiment them and choose the best one. i m still having this probelm Perhaps you could give us more detail on what you are trying to accomplish...

See, there is no one single program that will manage compressed files on every operating system, THATS impossible. All operating systems use their own executable platform, meaning a Linux EXE wont open in Windows, and Mac EXE wont open in Linux, and a huge circle of combinations of what will and wont work in an OS follows that... i have heard that UPX is a software that support multi executables. i dont

know much about UPX and dont know how to use it but check that one

out...........
