A
self-extracting archive(short
SFX) is a computer
application which contains a
compressed file archive, as well as programming to extract this information. Such file archives do not require a second executable file or program to extract from the archive, as archive files usually require. The files in an archive can thus be extracted by anyone, whether they possess the appropriate decompression program or not, as long as the program can run on their
computer platform.
StuffIt for the
Macintosh,
Compact Pro,
WinZip,
WinRAR, and
7-Zip all make use of self-extracting archives. There are also programs (like
makeself) that create self-extracting archives on
Unix as
shell scripts. An early example of a self-extracting archive was the Unix
shar archive, in which one or more text files were combined into a shell script that when executed recreated the original files.
Distributing and receiving files which appear to be self-extracting archives can be dangerous, as the file itself may contain malicious code, like
viruses or
trojan horses. For this reason, many internet users do not accept self-extracting archive files and would rather receive regular compressed file archives without any executable code. Fortunately, many archivers are capable of working with self-extracting archives as if they were regular archives
