Creating the Self Extracting Zip

A self extracting zip file makes the document set more portable.

  1. Stage the product using dynadoc_prepare.php or dynadoc_stage.php.
  2. Navigate to the DynaDoc stage folder.
  3. Select the product and "required" folders.
  4. Right click on the document folder and select 7-Zip->Add to Archive.
  5. Set the Archive name to the product folder name. If working with a VITAL document, the product folder name should be preceded by an "_" because the script is automatically generated and named _productName.
  6. Select 7z as the Archive Format.
  7. Select the Create SFX archive setting.
  8. Click on the Okay button to create the zip exe file.
  9. Run dynadoc_zip.php using the Zip button.
  10. Copy the zip file from stage/ to the project's zip/ folder.

Verify the zip file works.
