in reply to Re^3: Update par packer executable
in thread Update par packer executable

I got the additional data from a config management tool. And this tool added ".metadata" folders which I don't want to have in the par packed executable.

The error when creating the executable was not to delete the ".metadata" folders before.

Now it's just technically interesting for me to see how I could change a self extractable archive like a par packed executable.
