Expand .gz Archive

[hermannsson]

Is there a plugin available to expand .gz archives ?
I have a few such archives, coming from a linux environment, to be unpacked during installation.

You have at least four options:

1. Bundle a compatible command line utility as a primer file and use it at runtime to decompress the original *.gz archive.
2. Repack the *.gz to a *.zip archive and use the provided plugin to uncompress it on the target system.
3. Repack the contents of the *.gz to another format, such as *.rar and use a third party plugin for decompression at runtime.
4. Decompress the contents of the archive on your development system and integrate it into your setup package.

There may be additional possibilities, these are just the ones which came to my mind now.

ok, thanks. I created a cywgin script plus command file which is called by setup ( cygwin's installed on target machine) and that solved the problem.
