Utility Apps Support

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/

How to update a local install from last stable to the new 9.20 ?

I'm on 32bit Vista, should I use EXE or MSI ? both are for 32bit, what is the difference and what is better for an Upgrade ?

Can somebody please verify:

I made an encrypted Archive of my personal Data and stored it.

About 3 hours later I added new Data and told 7Zip to add them to my
Archive which was to my knowledge encrypted.

Then there was to my surprise no question for the password and after the new files have been added my archive was without encryption???

Do I have to encrypt the filenames?

Please could someone give me a clue!

Thx in advance Wolf

Hi everybody, as u've readed in the subject I can't change the default language in the shell's menu.
Could anyone help me please?
Thankyou.

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

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?

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,

Hi,
Tried searching but couldn't find for this topic so i am wondering if an update is possible to the latest version as at www.7-zip.org?

From what I can see in the launcher, only one value in the regfile is adjusted, whereas I have many keys that contain paths -

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\7-zip\Compression\ArcHistory]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\7-zip\Extraction\PathHistory]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\7-zip\FM]

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.
