Any update?

I'm trying to understand the issue your running into, cause looking at the exception you identified the task is actually behaving as designed. The task leverages the installed instance of 7-zip on the server and in the absence of that installation will through the exception to inform you that it needs to be installed. Are you running this on a server you have the ability to install 7-zip on? If not, or if this is a hosted agent, I would recommend running the chocolatey task in the collection to install 7-zip using this package https://chocolatey.org/packages/7zip.install.

Did you have any update, were you able to leverage this option?
