Re: 7-zip Download
Melva Simons
I'm trying to automate the extraction of a number of files compressed with 7-zip. I need to automate this process, because a) there are many years of data I'd like to unlock and b) I'd like to share my code with others and prevent them from repeating the process by hand.
I would strongly prefer a solution that does not require the user to install additional software (like WinRAR or 7-Zip) and execute a command with shell, although I acknowledge this task might be impossible with just R and CRAN packages. I actually believe running shell.exec on these files with additional parameters might work on computers with WinRAR installed, but again, I'd like to avoid that installation if possible. :)
Hello, I get a weird prompt box reading 7-zip ERROR when I'm trying to install the program. I'm installing autohotkey from the mainsite (this one, duh) and whenever I'm trying to open the installer or w/e you get when you install the .exe from the site a big prompt box that reads 7-zip ERROR pops up, since I don't got 7-zip I downloaded it, re-downloaded AHK but the problem wouldn't go away.
What should I do? Is there any other sources to install it? It's quite a pity since AHK seems to be one of the only virus free and legit automation macro programs out there . I'm running windows 8.1 btw. Thankyou on beforehand.
Hi All, getting the error '7-zip returned an error while trying to extract the archive' when attempting to launch Arcade roms (mame). Only happens when i have the 'extract ROM archives before running' checked in the emulation settings.
Hello All, newbie here. I recently installed Launchbox 13.0 and loaded a bunch of SNES roms from an external drive. The roms are zipped up. I am getting this same "7-zip returned an error while trying to extract the archive" error message when I try to launch a SNES game. I do have 7-zip installed. Any suggestions? Do I have to unzip all of them?
As long as you don't have an overzealous antivirus program quarantining some of your LaunchBox files we use a 7z dll placed in the proper spot by the installer to unextract files. If your emulator supports reading of zip files (or whatever extensions yours are in) then you can go to Manage Emulators and just change your emulator to not extract archive on launch and probably avoid that process entirely.
I don't know if Launchbox can sort through this but some sets, like a Tosec set, zip up multiple versions of the rom in each zip. I recommend unzipping SNES anyway as it takes up no space, but open one of the roms in 7z and see if there is just one file in there or many. If there's multiple files I don't think the launchbox unzip feature will work. Edit: If you can't manually open any of the files in 7zip that usually means you didn't download the full files and will need to replace the set.
I downloaded 7-zip to compress my files as a free alternative to Winrar, but when I run it through VirusTotal it gives me an alert of a possible trojan. do you know if this program is safe, I know that Windows has a built-in function to compress but I prefer a more robust alternative. I am a bit worried, I would not like it to be malware, I would appreciate your help.
We are in the process of a server move, both to a new host and from a Server 2k8 box to a Server 2012 box. The server in question has a few drives that hold our sites and some utilities. These drives were duplicated exactly during the move. Data, folder structures, and permissions should all be identical.
7-Zip is installed on the server and I can do the actions it's trying to do from the GUI. I'm a developer and am not used to troubleshooting something like this, and Google for the specific error hasn't led me to any resolution.
The closest match I could find is a site that says the command-line tool needs a few .dll files if it's less than 150K. I found the tool at the referenced path above and it was over 150K. I copied the .dll files from the install directory to that directory anyway. This did not fix the issue.
Another reason for this error is when you have 7z.exe but do not also have 7z.dll - both are needed for the commandline program to work properly. Copying just these two files from the normal 7-zip GUI install folder is enough for a portable version of the commandline program on our CI.
I had a similar problem running '.\7z.exe' from a powershell script, the issue was that the .\ 'local folder' copy of 7z.exe was an older version than the one currently installed on my computer. To fix the issue I just copied the newer 7z.exe and 7z.dll files out to the local folder the script was using.
I use it for all my file compression needs. I don't care that the coder is $Nationality, I merely care that they've done a good job, are doing a good job, & will continue to do a good job for as long as the program is supported.
And here are El Reg's representatives of the international troll brigade! Likely other nation state actors will follow suit shortly. Anyone else remember the sunny days when these forums were populated by actual readers AKA home grown idiots?
The United States didn't kill "a few thousand innocent civilians". It fought the MILITARY of Iraq, and won. It didn't attack civilians, intentionally bomb hospitals, loot washing machines, etc. like the Russian thugs are doing in Ukraine. It was the Iraqi military and government before the U.S. arrived that had no problem raping, stealing from and killing innocent civilians (see Kurds, the women Saddam's sons raped, etc.). Don't ever compare the United States military to the undisciplined conscripts and Wagner mercenaries Russia has fighting in Ukraine. No one found mass graves where Americans dumped hundreds of civilian bodies.
The United States also rebuilt Iraq, helped a democratic government form, and even left when asked by that same civilian government. And came back when asked when they couldn't defend themselves from ISIS, but that's another story. But then they left when asked again. I don't see Putin offering to rebuild Ukraine or instituting democratic elections in Russia let alone Ukraine.
The Bush administration believed democracy could be easily created at the point of a bayonet by bumping off dictators; they were wrong. Its goal was never to invade a democratic nation, execute its leader, then absorb the country into itself.
Us invading a country thousands of miles away for oil isn't the same as Russia expanding it's borders. We were certainly never going to set up "Northern Iraq" and populate it with our own Religious nutters. We did it to keep a few rich cunts rich.
I live in the west of Russia but my country didn't have anything to do with Iraq war. The west is more than USA, as you well know it. My critique of Russia as a Finnish citizen is not borne out of care for USA but for the deplorable actions of Putin and his cabal.
Or maybe you were? Are you that Iraqi spokesman who, in the early days of the invasion, kept going on Iraqi TV and saying the equivalent of "there is no invasion, the Americans are losing, there are no tanks driving into Baghdad"?
What does it matter where they were when blah blah? What the hell were they supposed to do about it? Where are you right now and what are you doing about the Russian invasion of Ukraine apart from making silly comparisons? And why should anyone expect you to be out there holding an AK?
That's a bit murky.....although Porton Down has been rebranded, claiming to be a high-tech industrial estate, its still Porton Down and its still a mere 6 miles from Salisbury. The coincidental appearance of a senior member of Porton Down's staff on the scene.....its just too theatrical.
This doesn't rule out Russia but it suggests that there was a lot more to this than what we were told. I'm also quite sure that should "Russia" want someone dead that badly then they would be dead, not incapacitated.
I know where a friend was; despite being army reserve police he was one of the first into Baghdad after it fell. And he was keeping order and helping people, not looting. And "Baghdad" wasn't being bombed; hitting shopping malls is a Russian thing. The United States targeted military targets. Where were you when Saddam was bombing the Kurds?
Sadly, lies are a normal part of war. Iraq had WMD, so invade! Syria has oil, so invade! Ukraine had been killing and murdering it's own civilians since 2014, so invade! Or there are smaller lies, aka propaganda. So example from the dear'ol Bbc-
And then shows a graphic from the "Institute for the Study of War", which shows Russia is already well across the river and has been in the process of encircling Lysychansk. So as usual, the Bbc has the situation bass-akwards, and the river is now at the back of the Ukrainian defenders.. And thanks to the ineptitude of Ukraine's leaders, it's already far too late for Ukraine's defenders to retreat.
But such is politics. BoJo's full of false hope. Presumably he thinks the UK people will continue being distracted by Ukraine, and accept that Russia's responsible for the UK's economic situation. And not the fault of BoJo and Co. Presumably this is why the West wants a prolonged war, because once it's over, we may reasonably expect to see some 'peace dividend' and an improving economy. That won't happen because the fundamental policies that have lead to our economic problems are still in place.
But it'll probably be over by November, and perhaps Biden can still declare 'victory'. At the cost of many Ukrainian lives. Or more likely, once Russia has broken though the heavily fortified defensive lines Ukraine had built around Donbas, DPR/LPR/Russian forces will be able to roll through much harder to defend territory and probably up to the Dniepr, should they so choose.
But that's Western diplomacy for you. Zelensky's shown no willingness to negotiate terms, mostly because his far-right militias have said they'd kill him if he surrendered Ukrainian territory. But Russia's being Russia, and steadily seizing Ukraine's territory. The more oblasts Russia collects, the weaker Ukraine's negotiating position will be, and the more territory they'll have to surrender.
