Utility Apps Support

I use a command line to compress my portable apps file to an EXE. Upon running EXE to restore the files to another thumb drive my Thunderbird local the files are on the disk and the settings are showing correctly in the accounts but the Thunderbird tree view does not show them.

When I use the 7z interface everything works correctly. Any thoughts...

Command line
7ZA.EXE a -r D:\Test2\PortableApps.EXE *.* -WD:\Test2 -sfx7zCon.sfx

When do you think we'll see the 4.5x 7-zip portable?

Thanks,

7-zip actually makes a pretty good file manager. It shows all the files, including the desktop.ini things, and it let's you open them.

I've opened it up with Resource Hacker, and I would like to specify a directory to extract to. The default is the directory that the exe is currently in. What should I edit?

EDIT: Let me rephrase: I am trying to make a self-extracting archive, and I want it to default to a certain location, instead of its current directory i.e. instead of defaulting to X:\blah blah, I want it to default to C:\, for example.

Hello! I am having problems with extracting compressed files made (by myslef) with WinZip version 11. I get the "Unsupported compression method..." message. What am I doing wrong?

im trying to install and use the software on my usb device and I get the error that the program is not a supported archive

Since installing, deleting & re-installing, 7-Zip Portable it seems the 7-Zip splash screen will not go away. It has also caused the splash screen for Portable Firefox to take a minute, or more, to go away. The app seems to work well I just can't see behind the splash screen & it stays on top. I deleted it in the hopes the problem would go away but to no avail. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Follow-up

Is this a human error or does 7-Zip Portable leave registry entries behind? By searching in my registry, 7-Zip shows up under HKEY_CURRENT_USER --> Software

How can I install this 7-zip portable and other apps on a Sandisk U3 USB stick. I guess the set up file for a U3 application has a u3p extension...

It would be great if there was an option to use Eraser Portable to wipe all 7z folders under %tmp%. Just deleting it would be OK too.
