Create EXE that Downloads Zip from URL and Extracts

Creates an EXE that downloads a .zip from a URL and extracts.

Download Chilkat Python Library

import sys
import chilkat

zip = chilkat.CkZip()

#  Any string unlocks the component for the 1st 30-days.
success = zip.UnlockComponent("Anything for 30-day trial")
if (success != True):
    print zip.lastErrorText()
    sys.exit()

#  This example creates a .exe that downloads the .zip from
#  http://www.chilkatsoft.com/testData/testWithSetup.zip,
#  unzips it, and runs the setup.exe contained within.
#  This is an actual URL that can be tested. The setup.exe
#  is a do-nothing program that simply displays a dialog box
#  with an "OK" button.
zip.put_ExeSourceUrl("http://www.chilkatsoft.com/testData/testWithSetup.zip")

#  Set the AutoTemp property to create an EXE that
#  extracts to an auto-chosen temp directory:
zip.put_AutoTemp(True)

#  Indicate the file within the .zip that should be run after
#  extraction:
#  Note: You may download the .zip at http://www.chilkatsoft.com/testData/testWithSetup.zip
#  and examine it. You'll see that the "setup.exe" has a path
#  within the .zip, therefore you must specify the path as it
#  exists within the .zip:
zip.put_AutoRun("bin/setup.exe")

#  Indicate that we do not want a main dialog, but we *do* want
#  a progress dialog.
zip.SetExeConfigParam("ShowMain","0")
zip.SetExeConfigParam("ShowProgress","1")

#  Customize the progress dialog:
zip.SetExeConfigParam("ProgressTitle","This is the progress dialog title")
zip.SetExeConfigParam("ProgressCaption","This is the progress dialog caption")

#  Write "mySfx.exe"
success = zip.WriteExe("mySfx.exe")
if (success != True):
    print zip.lastErrorText()
    sys.exit()

print "EXE Created!"
