Adding Compression

[modz2014]

hi any chance of adding compression when packed

[SerGreen]

I don't have plans for this, maybe if someone else figures out how to add it.

[modz2014]

thats what i was looking but there is not much where i could add it

It says that the ValueTuple type is missing, which was introduced in .NET Framework 4.7, Appacker project is also targeting .NET Framework 4.7.2. So the error might mean that you should update your Visual Studio and install .NET 4.7.2 SDK.

have fixed the problem also can you point in the direction to add compression type ect

[SerGreen]

Probably you want to change Packer Program.cs and Unpacker Program.cs in PackerShared and UnpackerShared projects respectively. Change the packing program in a way so that it doesn't append all the files directly to the unpacker.exe binary file, but instead maybe compresses all the files using 7zip or something and only then it appends the archive to the unpacker.exe file. And the unpacking program, respectively, first should extract the archive from itself and then unzip the archive into a temp folder.

but creating one exe like it does is alot better and more neat instead of having two files

[SerGreen]

It shouldn't be two files, the archive should be attached to the end of the packed exe (open exe as a binary stream in append mode and just write the archive to it).

Currently Appacker attaches all of the target files to the end of a small utility exe, which becomes a packed application. That small utility can extract target files from the end of its own exe when you run it. So it should be possible to make Appacker attach the entire archive to the end of the utility exe instead, and make that utility unzip the archive after extracting it from its own exe.
