Compress your files and software into compact .exe installer packages

• Create three types of Self-Extracting .exe installers:
  • Standard package: lets you distribute your documents, programs, databases, software, updates and any other files...
  • Package for Setups and Multimedia creations: compress and distribute your software installation routines, including MSI and MSP (Windows Installer), compress your main multimedia program and all of its resource files into a single .exe file ready for delivery...
  • Normal archives: you can create standard .7z archives without 7-Zip: no Self-Extracting functionality is included.

• Compress your files with the strongest compression algorithms available currently.
  Paquet Builder provides you with high compression (includes LZMA, LZMA2, PPMD, BCJ2 filter and other powerful methods) by www.7-zip.org. 7z can easily beat Zip, Cab LZX and even RAR3 sometimes. The 7-Zip program is not required by Paquet Builder.

• Build single and small Windows Self-Extracting .exe packages that do not require any third-party DLL nor runtime to work. Just deliver a single .exe to your end users who will be able to obtain your compressed files just by running this .exe.

• Include a powerful file manager that allows you to:

  • add multiple files and entire folders (optionally with sub-folders).
  • add files using wildcards.
  • include all subfolders when zipping.
  • group files into components.
  • manage components and link them to source folders.
  • live-update your components to add new files automatically.
  • auto-create components according to sub-folders.
  • load existing 7z archives to make self-extracting (7z SFX).
  • drag/drop files from Windows Explorer.
  • remove multiple files or even reset your file list.
  • access to the shell file properties.
  • create shortcuts to files in one click.
  • sort files according to their sizes, names...
  • set filters.
  • set file properties.

• Ability to store full file path information when compressing your files (also relative paths to a specified folder), set compression level and other 7-zip compression properties. When saved, sub-folders are automatically restored on the user computer when files are being unpacked.

• File path information may also be stored according to components!

• Convert existing .7z archives to Self-Extracting 7z files (7z SFX) directly in some clicks. You can choose 7z archives as source files: Paquet Builder will use this archive directly to create the final package, thus you don't have to recompress files again. You can even do it directly from Windows Explorer.
