From Windows, using the Iexpress tool, I could create a Self extracting installer, containing an .NET Application and an XML file. On invoking the output file, I could successfully execute the .NET application.

But, I want to do this from UNIX. I am new to UNIX and I am looking for an open source tool or step by step procedure to compress the .NET exe and XML file as a Windows executable, which on execution from a Windows machine, should directly execute the .NET executable.

I tried with unzipsfx-552_win32/unzipsfx.exe, but i could not successfully complete it.

    I did it with 7 Zip archive, step 1: compress the required files. /usr/local/bin/7za a -t7z my7zfile.7z file1 file2 file3 ... step 2: create a config file(config.txt) in the same folder, like below given contents. ;!@Install@!UTF-8! Title="Your application title" RunProgram="Exe name with extension that needs to be called post extraction" ;!@InstallEnd@! Step 3: create the final exe along with the 7za rpm you will get 7zS.sfx file with that i could create an exe, which self extarcts and calls the application with in it. cat 7zS.sfx config.txt my7zfile.7z > Selfextract.exe – Sendil Kumar Nov 19 '15 at 11:42
