So either you haven't looked hard enough (which I don't want to imply) or docs are wanting nowadays in general... I have the following snippet in my Makefile for creating a self-extracting archive containing a 'foreign' .msi and a custom transform: $(Prefix)/$(SetupExe): $(Source)/$(Product).7z Makefile ( \ cat 7z/7zS.sfx ; \ echo ';[EMAIL PROTECTED]@!UTF-8!' ; \ echo 'ExtractTitle="Extracting $(Product) installation data..."' ; \ echo 'RunProgram="hidcon.exe msiexec /i $(Msi) /qr TRANSFORMS=Trans.MST"' ; \ echo ';[EMAIL PROTECTED]@!' ; \ cat $(Source)/$(Product).7z \ ) > $@ chmod a+x $@ $(call Cert,$(Description),`cygpath -m [EMAIL PROTECTED]) It works rather nicely.
