I'm sorry. I misunderstood what you were asking for. So, you've got a
server-side process (probably a webapp) which needs to create
self-extracting archives of some kind? Are all of your people going to have
a JRE installed on their machines? If so, then you might be able to get
away with the self-extracting jar approach. However, if your users are
typical corporate users who probably do not have javaw.exe registered as the
default file handler for JAR files in windows, you might be up the
proverbial creek. Is it a strict requirement that they be self-extracting?
Your users can't live with opening the zip files using something like winzip
or the built-in zip file support in Windoze XP (if that's your platform)?
Most corporate users are already familiar with that process, I would hope.

WinZip supports EXEs (at least my version does). It's not THAT expensive.
In fact, it was worth it to me to pay for WinZip so that I didn't have to
click that Ok button every time I started it! :-)

Subject: [cinjug-users] Creating a self extracting zip.
I have several pdf documents that I need to consolidate into a
self-extracting zip file and email to participants. This all needs to
happen automatically in the back ground. The only problem I am currently
experiencing is creating the self extracting zip file. Does anyone know of
any api's (preferably free) that can help me to accomplish this?
Thanks
Jerry Straw
