WinMerge 2.12.2 Rv 3 - Archive support disabled - popup window

Hello,

I just downloaded the latest version of WinMerge Portable and trying to open two TXT files, I've got this:

I use winxp sp3 and the app is installed on my local drive.

Thanks.

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`
