ArchiveFile Property
The name of the self-decrypting archive to create.
Syntax
sda.getArchiveFile([callback]) sda.setArchiveFile( archiveFile, [callback])
Default Value
""
Callback
The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).
The callback for the getArchiveFile([callback]) method is defined as:
function(err, data){ }
'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.
'data' is the value returned by the method.
The callback for the setArchiveFile([callback]) method is defined as:
function(err){ }
'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.
'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:
err.code err.message
Remarks
This property specifies the name of the archive to be written when CreateSDA is called. Any pre-existing archive file will be overwritten.
The filename may be specified with or without a path. Paths may be relative or absolute, and should be specified in the format native to the host operating system. The filename should be specified with the appropriate ".exe" extension. An extension will not automatically be appended by the class.
If the file cannot be written a trappable error will be generated.
Example (Creating a Self-Decrypting Archive)
class.ArchiveFile = "c:\test.exe" class.RecurseSubdirectories = true class.SourceDirectory = "c:\foo\" class.CaptionText = "Testing SDA" class.BannerText = "Press continue to decompress the archive." class.CreateSDA() class.ArchiveFile = "c:\test.exe" class.SourceFile = "c:\foo\bar.dat" class.CaptionText = "Testing SDA" class.BannerText = "Press continue to decompress the archive." class.CreateSDA()
Note: When creating a self-decrypting archive which exceeds 4 GB or more of uncompressed data or which contains more than 64K files, the class will create a 64-bit archive.
