WinMerge 2.12.2 Rv 3 - Archive support disabled - popup windowinvasion - June 5, 2009 - 11:57am

Not sure why
As you'd guess that should only happen for ZIP archives and similar.
I'd suggest that you contact the WinMerge developers about it.
While we're here though, I'd like to suggest that the next release of WinMerge Portable detect 7-Zip Portable if it's there and add it to the start of the environment variable PATH. That'd make the handling of compressed archives more portable with WinMerge Portable.
Quick code off the top of my head:
${GetParent} $EXEDIR $0 IfFileExists "$0\7-ZipPortable\App\7-Zip\bin\7zG.exe" "" +3 ReadEnvStr $1 PATH System::Call `something::SetEnvironmentVariable(t "PATH", t "$0\7-ZipPortable\App\7-Zip\bin;$1") .n`I am a Christian and a developer and moderator here.
