Great!
Thanks,
But how to force my foo.exe extract into C:\ directory, but not in the current
directory?

I created SELF-EXTRACTING archive:

copy /b unzipsfx.exe+foo.zip foo.exe

Command response:
unzipsfx.exe
foo.zip
        1 file(s) copied.

zip -A foo.exe

Command response:
zip warning: foo.exe has a preamble of 95232 bytes

Now my foo.exe IS self extracting :-)
I am forcing my foo.exe extract into C:\ directory:

unzipsfx foo.exe -d C:\

Command response:
UnZipSFX 5.51 of 22 May 2004, by Info-ZIP (http://www.info-zip.org).
  End-of-central-directory signature not found.

Tried this:
unzipsfx foo.zip -d C:\

The same command response:
UnZipSFX 5.51 of 22 May 2004, by Info-ZIP (http://www.info-zip.org).
  End-of-central-directory signature not found.

:-(

I have read http://www.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/FAQ.html but only two topics
are available on FAQ about self-extracting archives :
How do I create a self-extracting archive that will automatically run a program
after extraction?
How do I make a DOS (or other non-native) self-extracting archive under Unix?
