Editor's Description
Archiving your files is a great way in which you can make them occupy less storage space or easily transfer them via the Internet. However, this might pose a problem for the receiving users if they don't have the same compression program you have used installed on their computers. A simple solution to deal with this problem is by using the handy The Self-Extractor.

The Self-Extractor is an extremely easy to use piece of software that allows you to quickly create self-extracting archives that can be easily extracted on any Windows platform. The best thing about creating these types of archives is the fact that users can extract them without requiring any compression program. Simply launch it as you would with any other kind of executable file (.exe).

The process of creating a self-extracting archive with the help of the handy The Self-Extractor is very simple. All you have to do is select the desired folder you want to archive and provide the path and name for your output. It can't get much easier than that.

In order to customize the created archive, the small The Self-Extractor provides you with several settings which you can modify. You can add a custom launcher with specific parameters and run it only as the system administrator, you can select one of the provided compression methods or you can easily customize the created package by changing its title, adding some basic information or instruction or even inserting your logo (as a .png image).

Other than that, The Self-Extractor comes with a simple and minimalistic interface that keeps the job of quickly creating self-extracting archive as easy as possible.

Overall, if you are looking for an easy to use and reliable piece of software that can help you create self-extracting archives in no time, then the lightweight The Self-Extractor is a good choice.
