How to make compressed auto-install files?

I am looking for a tool to compress installation files, so they decompress and execute after, better if I can make the compressed auto-install files in a current PC.

SFX files
I found, between others, CrunchIT, to make Self-eXtract-Files (SFX), but as my original file is a .CAB, which is also a auto-executable, I can`t convert it into a SFX file.

help with file permissions, converting .IMG files to update.zip ROMs.

I've successfully scripted the automated creation of a file structure into which the contents of BOOT.IMG, SYSTEM.IMG, DATA.IMG, CACHE.IMG and SD-EXT.IMG are extracted. The script also creates a valid update-script file under ./META-DATA/....
The only issue I have is that I'm using windows so the .IMG files extracted as a yaffs file system, looses the original file permissions. I need someway to recreate the permissions in the update.zip.
Thats all.
Having a way of converting a nandroid backup to an update.zip means you can very easily cook custom roms from a nandroid backup, and port ROMs across phones using a portable .ZIP format.

[Q] How to package a lollipop update file

I read somewhere that Google has changed the system used for the standard update zip file.
Therefore you have to convert some .dat files to .img files and .img files to a standard readable folder.
This I understand, however how do I reverse the process above to get back to the .dat file and get a lolipop compatible flashable zip?

Extracting Boot/Modem from kdz

Hi,
I want to create a flashable zip file for the G4, so I wanted to know if I need to extracted the boot/modem partition (for the Genesis G4 rom) with jest extracting the .kdz file and then just removing the .bin extension?
I'm pretty new to creating zip files so i just wanted to be sure that removing the extension from the bin file is the correct way to get the boot/modem files.
thnx ahead
