Utility Apps Support

Hey,

I'm working on a simple script to let me drop various archive files on to a small GUI to automatically decompress the archive and -if the decompression was successful- delete the original archive. Since I would like my script to be portable I've been trying to use 7za.exe, the help file explains:

"7za.exe (a = alone) is a standalone version of 7-Zip. 7za.exe supports only 7z, cab, zip, gzip, bzip2, Z and tar formats"

This is what my recent scan found. My ClamWinPortable was suposed infected with a Trojan Agent. I doubt it. Someone has had the same behaviour recently? What could we do?

Sincerily

Is there a way to check or scan, in a batch mode, if zips might be accessible or corrupt ?.
Rather than trying to open one by one.

7-Zip 4.62 has just been released!

What are the pros and cons or benefits and drawbacks between
7z VS Peazip ?.
I see 7z is smaller and has alot more total downloads.

Hello

I know that beta sofotware usually are not considered for portability but latest version on portableapps, 4.57, is very old (1 year) so I think we should do an exception and update it to 4.60.

In the meantime I upgraded it by myself overwriting files but I feel more sure if I use an official PA release

Thanks a lot,
Gigi

I opened and tried to use the 7zip for the first time and well what can I say.... how do I change it from what looks like russian to English, everything is in russian apart from the help pages but there is nothing in there about changing the language lol thanks in advance

I can do 7zip, tar, and zip...how do I get rar ?

When I run 7-Zip Portable, I get the following warning from ZoneAlarm:

7-Zip Portable is trying to launch [user]\Local Settings\Temp\nsg50.tmp\ns51.tmp, or use another program to gain access to privileged resources

I still run the program, but I'd like to have an idea of just what I'm saying "yes" to, please.

Weird thing. For another program that was 7ziped, it didn't download properly, so I thought I needed to unzip it. Just went to the download page and downloaded the program about 2 hours ago.

I just now had the time to run the paf, I double clicked on the paf and the eraserdroptarget program started to install. It had the 7zip icon and all. I went back to the download page and downloaded the paf, and installed it fine.

Don't know what happened in those 2 hours. I hadn't downloads the droptarget since it came out a few weeks ago, so I was confused.
