Extract 7Zip does not work

Post by freedvd3 »

Version is InstallAware 10.

The only way this will work is if the archive format is .7z.
This does not work with any other archive format, and doesn't even really matter if it uses the LZMA compression method. Simply has to be a .7z archive.

The documentation is misleading about this, and does not say whether or not other archive formats, like .zip and .tar are supported.

Using regular Windows 7 archive (zip) files are not supported by this Extract 7zip command either.

Am I missing something?

I posted an example of how IA v10 fails to extract a zip archive on youtube.

Dear User,

InstallAware support "7zip" archive files format only and documentation doesn’t say anywhere that zip files are supported.
