PentaSFX - Self Extracting Archives

A Self Extracting Archive (a.k.a. SFX File) is a Compressed Archive that can unzip itself without the use of a compression program.

To do this, PentaSFX converts a Compressed Archive into an executable file (with an .EXE extension).

Running an SFX file will automatically unzip the files inside:

  • To the folder the SFX file is in,
  • To a user selected folder or
  • To a specific folder designated when the SFX file was created.

Advanced features included only in the PentaSuite programs include:

  • The ability to create CD's or DVD's containing a newly created SFX file (CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R and DVD+RW formats are supported) .
  • The ability to span large archives (ZIP and ZGB only for now) on CD's

Splitting is available through our SFX (Self Extracting) files. You may split a large archive into sections of the size you prefer. This can be useful when emailing attachments to sites which enforce size limits on incoming email messages.
