Plugins to extract multipart 7z files

Hey guys, I'm wondering if anyone knows of any plugins that allow the extracting of multi part 7z files, or pretty much any file that spans multiple volumes.

For example if I had archive files named:
Test.7z.001 - 10mb
Test.7z.002 - 10mb
Test.7z.003 - 5mb

Each file is dependant on each other, kind of like the files from downloading a large torrent, you need all the files present for it to work.

I've tried hunting down for this kind of feature but somehow can't even come close to finding it :x

might want to check if there's freely distributable command-line utilities available.. odds are better you'd find one of those than that you'd find an NSIS plugin dedicated to the task 🙂

There's the 7Zip plugin:

but I'm not sure if it can extract multipart archives.

Else you can use the 7za executable from 7Zip.
There's a header to simplify it:
Are you a developer who uses NSIS to distribute your application? Are you a Winamp plug-in developer who wants to use NSIS to distribute your plug-in? Have suggestions for other people like you? This is the place.

I'm using Nsis7z at the moment, and it can't do it, that or I'm doing it wrong :x anyway, i'll have to take a look at that then... thanks :x

Hmm. I've tried using the header, though my issue now is that using this doesn't update my installer's progress bar. It kinda bugs me :X

Is there really nothing else capable of doing this?
