I was going to suggest seeing if it would be possible to install 7zip-zstd using the EXE instead of the 7z file, but I am not sure if Scoop would see itself as having a copy of 7zip installed with "7ZIPEXTRACT_USE_EXTERNAL false" set.
Does the exe accept any commandline arguments? We need it to accept the install directory location.
It could, but pop UAC. so extract it as 7zip is the best solution.
Using 7zip to extract 7zip-zstd defeats the purpose of 7zip-zstd 😅
Unless 7-zip-zstd provide msi installer and we could omit UAC..
Portable version has been requested many times: https://github.com/mcmilk/7-Zip-zstd/issues/120 https://github.com/mcmilk/7-Zip-zstd/issues/148
Someone made it using Portapps' 7zip - https://github.com/portapps/portapps/issues/151, available here - https://github.com/Chaython/7-Zip-ZSTD-Portable
unfortunately I believe it is also packed only in a .7z file but 7-zip proper does offer 7za.exe, a minimal version of the 7z commandline that only handles .7z files (under 7-zip Extra). It feels very goofy and I'm assuming not possible within sccop but if 7za is added to Versions it could go

It is a .zip file:
The good news is that official 7-zip will add zstd support. See this post by 7-zip's creator Igor Pavlov.
