Hello,
There is .NET/C# application.
I'm creating self extracting ChilkatZip. Trying to pass environment variable %CD% (current directory) to AutoRunParams property of ChilkatZip, which should be passed to autorun executable after extraction.
As ChilkatZip documentation says: "Environment variables are expanded (i.e. resolved) when the self-extracting EXE runs".
But when running the resulting self extracting ChilKatZip I have STRING value in the AutoRunParams = "%CD%", but not the current directory. The environment variable isn't resolved but putted as is.
BTW, environment variable (%TEMP%) for ChilkatZit.ExeUnzipDir property works fine.
If I'm launching self extracting ChilKatZip from cmd.exe with command line argument "-ap %CD%" - environment variable is resolved fine.
Could anyone help me with this issue? It's very important for me to find solution in nearest time.
Thanks
I verified that there is a problem with it. Unfortunately, the fastest I can get a fix would be this weekend or possibly Monday. Please let me know what version of the .NET Framework you are using, and whether you need 32-bit, 64-bit, or both.
Please try these new builds:
.NET 2.0/3.5 Framework, 32-bit: http://www.chilkatsoft.com/preRelease/ChilkatDotNet2.zip
.NET 2.0/3.5 Framework, 64-bit: http://www.chilkatsoft.com/preRelease/ChilkatDotNet2_x64.zip
Maybe this is because the environment variable CD is not really an environment variable? The "variables" %CD% (and for example the variable %RANDOM% as well) are implemented by CMD.EXE. Not by ShellExecute or CreateProcess.
Open a command prompt, type ECHO %CD% and it will show the directory as expected.
However, enter SET and you won't see CD in the list (nor will you see RANDOM).
Hello,
Just wondering if there are any updates?
Thanks
