I'm hoping to add one feature: a program packager

PSAppDeployToolkit is a great tool, and I'm hoping to add one feature: a program packager. Because I want to package the folder as a self-extracting exe file, the user can directly double-click this file to start the installation

You can do it with WinRar. You can create an self extracting exe and execute one after

I've automated it with a winrar profile an ps script

Yes, thanks! I also found that the same functionality can be implemented with 7zip。

It would be better if PSAppDeployToolkit integrated this packaging feature

Yes，I will try 7zip

Just Now ，I used PSAppDeployToolkit to create a script to uninstall mcafee, then I used 7zip to create a self-extracting exe file, found a problem, I found that Show-InstallationRestartPrompt did not work, after the program was executed normally, I did not see the restart prompt box, Show-BalloonTip worked fine. I think this should have something to do with 7zip creating self-extracting exe files, possibly the exe process closing the powershell process created by Show-InstallationRestartPromp. Is there a good way to solve this problem? I wish a restart prompt box would pop up. No anomalies were found in the log file.
