7-Zip: WebWasher blocks download

Submitted by cquoss on July 14, 2010 - 8:14am

Hello,

we have WebWasher installed in the corporate network. This blocks the download of the actual 7-zip file '7-ZipPortable_4.65_Rev_2.paf.exe' with the remark that the Microsoft Authenticode certificate has expired.

These certificates seem to last one year, the file on the server is from June 2009. Maybe thats the problem?

Could this be fixed?

TIA

Bye

7-Zip: Windows Explorer Does Nothing When Trying to Open File in ZIP Archive Encrypted with AES

Submitted by Bezalel on June 23, 2010 - 12:29pm

I have created one archive by encrypting PDF files with AES, and a second archive by encrypting with ZipCrypto. If I use 7-Zip to access either archive, they work fine.

However, if I use Windows Explorer (within XP Pro), I have a problem. When I try to access the archive encrypted with AES, it shows each file within the archive, but when I click on one of the PDF files, it does nothing. It doesn't prompt me for a password or open the file or anything. (Explorer properly accesses files in the archive encrypted with ZipCrypto.)

Any ideas?

[Fixed] 7-Zip: 4.65 Rev 2 doesn't want to change back to english

Submitted by Mark Sikkema on June 5, 2010 - 6:53pm

I was playing along changing my language(to test PidginPortable), and did run 7ZipPortable in Bulgarian once. After it never wanted to go back to English.

After going through the source and having a look in 'App\7-Zip\Lang' I come to the conclusion that it's a bug.

I do not know the exact reason why all the language files are *.txt file except for English (en.ttt), but this is equal in the original download from the 7Zip home page !
So there are 2 options to fix this, either,

7-Zip: One simple question, Is 7zG Module portable?

Submitted by Wooops_Phil on December 24, 2009 - 11:03pm

Hello, I just want to make sure if I can use 7zg.exe (that comes in 7-Zip Portable) with commands (like x "%1" -o*) in a standalone way / without leaving traces just like the 7Z.exe or 7za.exe modules.
The installed non portable version of 7-Zip uses 7zG for the extraction jobs (that´s why I wonder whether the one that comes in the portableapps package is standalone), though I don´t plan to use the normal commands that make use of -slp- -an -ai... that don´t work in a portable way, instead I just want to use commands like the one posted above.

Submitted by arcturus16a on October 19, 2009 - 1:11pm

I want to use my USB Flash drive to backup network files.
It looks like 7zip Portable wants to backup my USB Flash Drive onto a some other media (local, network or otherwise).
Can I Use 7zip Portable to Backup Network Files Onto a USB Flash Drive? If not, can you suggest some other open-source product?

7-Zip: Shell Context Menus

Submitted by kccameron on July 15, 2009 - 4:22pm

The Shell Context Menus work great. Flash drive not connected - no shortcut menu for 7-Zip. Connect the drive - now there's a shortcut menu.

However...
7-zip.dll is loaded as soon as you right-click something in Windows Explorer. That .dll stays loaded until you close that specific instance of Explorer. This prevents the flash drive from being removed safely until all Explorer windows that have seen a right-click have been closed.
