Self Extractor

Post by Steve2106 »

Hi There,
I would like to create a self-extracting file but I would like the contents passworded. This is because if I select the Self-Extracting exe with WinRar I can Extract the files from the Exe.
How can I encrypt the contents so that it will only self-extract when a password is entered.

Thanks for your help,

Steve Wilson.
