Hi

Win Rar:

Setup=<program>

SFX will try to execute <program> after successful extraction. The folder containing extracted files is set as the current before executing <program>
Example:
Setup=setup.exe

Notes

1) If you have problems to use SFX to run InstallShield setup.exe, try to execute "setup.exe /SMS" instead of simple "setup.exe". This switch allows SFX to detect termination of the InstallShield setup program.
2) All switches specified in SFX command line are passed to a program from Setup=<program> command. SFX itself understands only -s switch, which forces the silent install mode without displaying the start dialog.
----------------------------------------------------------
So If you had ;

Setup=movie.avi

Then as long as the person has an association with an AVI file, it should launch the media player associated with the AVI and play. Well it does with WinzipSFX

Ok I tried it and it works

Crete a new archive of your movie, change the name of the achiever so it is different to the name of your movie.

In the comment field add this;

Setup=moviename.avi

i.e.

movie name = mymovie.avi
archiver name = movie.exe

In the comment field;

Setup=mymovie.avi
