Automated 7zip extraction
After beating my head on my desk for a while I decided I must be overlooking something obvious.


I have an installer for a "mega-pack" that downloads several of my other installers. it then uses command line 7zip to extract those installers to my plugin folder from the zip files they are inside of.

I had the idea to use the command line 7zip to extract those EXE's and just pull the files out that I need. instead of running the installers (I never set them up for silent installs and they have lots of message boxes etc).

I am getting the error "can not open file as an archive". Am I missing some switch to set it to nsis compression? Do I need to change my compression type on the other installers?


EDIT:

nevermind.

I solved my issue. I was using the commandline version. I needed the 7zG.exe and the DLL from the GUI 7Zip.
