Hello.
Disclaimer: I run PortableApps from HDD on all my computers and sync it with Dropbox. I do that because I like to have the apps with their settings in one, easily transferable folder. I do not carry it on a stick. So, if you're anything like me keep on reading. 
Problem: If you try to integrate the portable 7-zip with the shell context menu it'll throw the "Can't find 7-zip.dll" error message at you.
Solution:
1. Install a "normal" version of 7-zip from their site: http://www.7-zip.org/
2. Grab 7-zip.dll from the installation directory and stick it into your "PortableApps\7-ZipPortable\App\7-Zip\" folder
3. Uninstall the "normal" version of 7-zip
4. Now you can enable and configure the shell context menu integration
Remember: This is not in the true spirit of portability. If you do that it'll leave traces on the computer so use it only with your "persistent" PortableApps installation.

You shouldn't do this. It removes all traces of portability from it - it won't keep its settings in the portable location.

Yes, I'm perfectly aware of that... that's why I wrote about it in my post... It seems you didn't read it at all... :/
I did read it all, but you've just said "leaves traces" and that it "should only be used with a persistent PortableApps installation". What I'm saying is that it doesn't just leave traces - it is not portable in the slightest. It's just the same as having 7-Zip installed locally.

i tested this this weekend and i found that they do not work the same as when they are installed onto a flash drive or other removeable media.
