Hi Dave,
It was the .msi version that you would have problems with.

Thanks, Bruce and the rest.
I got a file, they claimed would be the newest, from 7zip's homepage. The
file is named
7z920.exe
. Would that be the one you mentioned Bruce?
Another question here:
I tried to run it on a test yesterday. It surely created an Exe file. Then,
I tried to extract the newly created Exe file. Everything worked well,
except from one small point. The Exe file wanted the user to enter the
folder for extraction. As part of an installation, I wanted to have as much
as possible take place, without user interaction. Specially since the stuff
always should be extracted in the user profile folder.
So, my question would be, if there is a way to "lock" the shipping EXE
archive to automatically, and mutually, extract in the current folder - that
is the folder where the exe file is located. Hope all this make sense, and
that anyone could point me in right direction. I had a peek at the user
guide for 7zip, but might have overlooked something.
Thanks again,
