Remarks

Unpack is a command that is used to extract the program files from your script onto a program folder on your boot disk project.

The Unpack command will use the folder called "Folder" as default place to keep all files that you attached using the "Create script" tool

 

All parameters are optional, so when you wrote :

Unpack

default value for empty parameters are bring up if they are needs, so this command become :

Unpack,Folder,,%Target_Prog%,%ProgramFolder%,%ProgramEXE%

The variable %Target_Prog% (defined in Script.project) is the "Program Files" folder.

The variables %ProgramFolder% and %ProgramEXE% should be defined in section Variables of your script.

 

Only when an archive(7z,zip,rar - not for SFX archive) is set in parameter 2, the first thing that Unpack do, is look in %ScriptDir%\%ProgramFolder% if the file given in parameter 6 (default value = %ProgramExe%) exist.

If the file exist, all files in this folder are copied by CopyProgram rather extracted from %ScriptDir%.

Tips

If you want Unpack files in %Target_Sys% you can use a point (.) as parameter 5

Unpack,,,,%Target_Sys%,.      is same as      Unpack,,,,%Target_Win%,System32
