7zs.sfx unsupported method

I have setup project that I need to sfx him .

first I zip the .msi and .exe files :

%path7zip% a "%~dp0% %setup.7z" "%~dp0% %Output\Setup\*"

that work fine .

then I sfx the 7z file :

copy /b %path7zs% + "%~dp0% %config.txt" + "%~dp0% %Setup.7z" "%~dp0% %     
Output\Setup\MySetup.exe"

my config file is : 

;!@Install@!UTF-8!
Title="my title"
Progress="no"
GUIFlags=""
OverwriteMode="0"
InstallPath="%TEMP%"
ExtractPathText="Select extraction path"
ExtractPathTitle="my title"
ExtractTitle="Extracting"
ExtractDialogText=""
ExtractCancelText="Abort"
RunProgram="\"%%T\\setup.exe\""
;!@InstallEnd@!

I get the MySetup.exe file but when I try to open it I get : 7-zip: unsupported method. Any ideas? Thank you

captain_majid's solution worked for me. I also found in this post at SourceForge the suggestion to use -mm=lzma when generating the 7z file, which worked as well.

Would be nice to know the difference, though.

Use 7zsd.sfx instead of 7zs.sfx

You can also use this file to fix a corrupted exe that says "unsupported method", without adding the config.txt, like that:

copy /b 7zSD.sfx + corruptedExe fixedExe.exe
