7zS.sfx does not exist in the 7-Zip folder

Question

I want to use the sfx module to create a .exe file of an installer

On reading up online i found that we need this particular file : 7zS.sfx According to the instructions here

this particular file should be available in 7-Zip folder (program files or where it has been installed). The problem is I cannot find this file. I tried downloading 7-zip again. Still not able to see this file.

Is there any extra plug-in i need to download for this file?

You can find this modules into LZMA SDK on official website 7-zip.org/sdk.html – Longplaying

Answer 1

Well after reading up a bit more about the types of sfx modules available... as specified by this SO-Link ...I downloaded the 7z_extra module from here

The installer works fine now :)

Answer 2

You may find the files 7zS2.sfx 7zSD.sfx in the LZMA packages (bin folder) in the LZMA SDK, for example lzma1604.

As a further NOTE:

7zS2.sfx finds the setup.exe or the first exe file in the package and runs it.

7zSD.sfx uses config.txt as described here
