File Binding Tutorial

File Binding Tutorial

In this tutorial I will be showing you (if you do not know already) how
to bind two files together using WinRAR.

This is useful if you are sending a file and you want
it to extract and run straight away.

For this tutorial I will be using a simple .exe file
(command[1].exe) and a game (Grid Wars).



Step 1:

Get the files you want to bind.





Step 2:

Highlight them both and add to archive.





Step 3:

Change the name and select "Create SFX archive"





Step 4:

Go to the "Advanced" tab at the top and click on "SFX options"





Step 5:

In the "General" tab type in the name of the file you want to
run after the extraction.





Step 6:

Go to the "Modes" tab and select "Hide all"





Step 7:

Go to the "Text and icon" tab and change the icon to something other
than the WinRAR icon





Step 8:

Click "OK" on the advanced window and "OK" in the main window and it
will create the file.





Now when the user clicks on it extracts and automatically runs
command[1].exe

This can be used in a variety of ways, you can experiment with the
options to get different results.
