Howdy,
So what I am looking to do is combine an archive and a script file. I would like to have a number of files compressed into an archive package and when a user double clicks on the package instead of having it open with the archive manager, instead have it run a shell script that is also packaged with the files.
This shell script will do a number of things including handling where the files are extracted to. Over all this would be similair to a self-extracting installer Windows users are used to using.
Can this be accomplished and if so mind pointing me in the right direction of what tool I should use to create something like this?
EDIT: After thinking about it, I know this is possible. For an example see the nvidia binary driver. I would like to make something along these same lines, I am just not sure how to do so.
Regards,
~Jeff
