The icon
Hi
Why does the installer has the icon of the portableapps installer instead of the 7zip icon?
That the way
it is now.
All installers have the same Icon.
Thanks John :-)
Thanks John
64bit version
could we have a 64bit version as well, please?
64 bit would not truly be
64 bit would not truly be portable, as it would only be able to run on 64 bit machines (a vast minority). You can try replacing the files in /App/7-Zip with 64 bit binaries but 64 bit will probably never be officially supported here. Also, this should have gone in the forums, not as a comment on a release.
Can be
Take a look at how JkDefrag works; it has 32- and 64-bit versions included in it.
However, that's a different case. I don't believe that JkDefrag 32-bit works on 64-bit OSes due to what it does, but 7-Zip 32 does. Hence, there is no real need to include the 64-bit version (as well as the 32-bit version) so because it would double the size of the application (estimate), it's highly unlikely to happen.
