SFX Compiler by Uticasoft

SFX Compiler is a fast, reliable tool for turning files and folders into secure, branded self-extracting executables.

• Flexible compression (e.g., LZMA, ZIP) with size/speed profiles you can tune
• Custom branding: icons, splash screens, welcome and license dialogs, and progress indicators
• Pre/post actions: run commands or scripts, create shortcuts, set environment variables, and optionally edit registry keys
• Security options: password protection, AES-based encryption, integrity checks, and optional code signing with timestamping
• Deployment modes: interactive or silent/unattended, with clear exit codes for automation
• Templates and manifest files for consistent, repeatable builds
