Utility Apps Support

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.

I just updated 7-zip to 4.65 Rev. 2 and in the midst of the installation process, I got this error pop-up:

---------------------------
7-Zip Portable | PortableApps.com Installer

Error opening file for writing: F:\PortableApps\7-ZipPortable\App\7-Zip\7-zip.dll Click Abort to stop the installation, Retry to try again, or Ignore to skip this file.

Hi just wondered are there any plans to include SIT (Stuffit) archives or is this format copyrighted or otherwise ?

I had some files e-mailed today from a MAC and it would have been handy.

Cheers

I have the latest AVG updates, and can't use 7-zip due to a false positive trojan horse.

So, what should I do?

I know that it is possible to create a portable, "stand-alone" version of a program using Universal Extractor and WinRAR. A tutorial on how to do that can be found at:
http://www.ehow.com/how_4742635_application-portable.html

I was wondering if it were possible to complete that same task using 7-Zip. I do not know if there are specific parameters that must be used or if it is not possible at all. I would much rather create a portable program as shown in the tutorial I linked above but use 7-Zip in place of WinRAR, as I am more comfortable with that program and I prefer it.

Unlike Firefox, the root directory does not update when moved to a different computer when you assign Notepad++ Portable as 7-Zip Portable's editor, could this be looked into or is there another way to get Notepad++ Portable to work with 7-Zip Portable?

Hello everybody,

I often have to create splitted archives which has to be compatible to Winzip. So in the past I used Winzip to create these archives. But I would like to switch to 7-Zip when creating these archives. The porblem is, when I create a splitted archive with Winzip I get these Files, e.g:
File.zip
File.z01
File.z02

When I create a splitted archive with 7-zip I get these Files:
File.zip.001
File.zip.002
File.zip.003

Which I can not open with Winzip. Does anyone have an idea how I can solve this problem?

Hello,

7-zip has on its own Website an entry, that it is completly free to use also in a commercial way. Is this also valid for 7-Zip Portable? I tried to find something about the licence agreements, but did not find them.

Best Regards,
Klaus.

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
