Hi All |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I have installed app-arch/p7zip-15.09 and I am trying to create a 7-zip |
| 4 |
archive which will run on MSWindows as an embedded executable. It seems that |
| 5 |
only the standard console SFX module 7zCon.sfx has been installed, in |
| 6 |
/usr/lib64/p7zip/7zCon.sfx and this is used by default: |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
=================== |
| 9 |
$ 7za a -p -sfx archive.exe TEST1 |
| 10 |

Everything is Ok |

=================== |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
However, when I use it as shown above to create a .exe file, this fails to run |
| 32 |
on MSWindows, saying things like: |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
"The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you're |
| 35 |
running. Check your computer's system information to see whether you need an |
| 36 |
x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) version of the program, and then contact the |
| 37 |
software publisher." |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
Trying to run it in compatibility mode (Windows XP Service Pack 2) also fails. |
| 40 |
Finally, when I try to run it as Admininstrator it says: |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
"Windows cannot find 'C:\Users\user\Desktop\archive.exe'. Make sure you typed |
| 43 |
the name correctly, and then try again." |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
I did not tried to run it on the console in MSWindows, because the intended |
| 47 |
users would not know how to do this reliably. It has to be a point and click |
| 48 |
solution. |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
Specifying any other SFX module listed in |
| 52 |
/usr/lib64/p7zip/help/cmdline/switches/sfx.htm#SFX_Module fails, since all |
| 53 |
other modules are missing: |
| 54 |
|
| 55 |

======================= |
| 72 |
|
| 73 |
|
| 74 |
Using the GUI (in Dolphin) automatically tries to use 7z.sfx and fails with a |
| 75 |
pop up: |
| 76 |
|
| 77 |
No more files |
| 78 |
cannot find specified SFX module |
| 79 |
/usr/lib64/p7zip/7z.sfx |
| 80 |
|
| 81 |
|
| 82 |
Any idea how I can resolve this? I looked at the application's website, but |
| 83 |
the 7z-extras only seem to contain MSWindows files and I cannot spot the 7z.sfx |
| 84 |
module anywhere. |
