Is there any Library in Delphi to handle LZMA (or 7zip)files including creating self extracting EXEs
There are some sources code at 7zip.orgin (c++ java c#) but i want them in delphi
BUT i want something which is stand alone (No DLLs)

JFYI: we have this in the plans for SecureBlackbox 9, which is planned for spring. Not exactly what you'd like to hear, yes, so not an answer but a comment. – Eugene Mayevski 'Callback Dec 03 '10 at 11:30

2i saw your comment "i am in a process of making self extractor" - do you know this: http://theroadtodelphi.wordpress.com/2010/11/25/create-a-sfx-file-with-delphi-self-extracting-archives/ – coding Bott Dec 03 '10 at 16:17

there are two solutions:
1) use the into native pascal translated sdk:
2) you can compile the c version of the sdk into obj files and link them to your delphi project. this one requires a translation of the header files to delphi and it requires lots of c knowledge.

33) you can translate the current C lib to Pascal again, so that we don't have an old version in pascal anymore, and fix the x86isms while you at it for FPC's sake ( :-) ) – Marco van de Voort Dec 04 '10 at 12:14

Inno setup have delphi source code to encode and decode lzma.
http://www.jrsoftware.org/isdl.php
you could also simply use inno setup to create your self extractor.

1That version uses c compiled object files which are linked into the delphi project. – coding Bott Dec 03 '10 at 14:22

Its good for general purpose ! but i am in a process of making self extractor !! so dll may be a bit problem but still can be used – Vibeeshan Mahadeva Dec 03 '10 at 12:57
