Requesting 7za.exe release link #24

Open blake502 opened 2 months ago

blake502 commented 2 months ago

Hello,

I've recently built a project that relies on downloading 7za.exe on the fly to automate extracting an archive. 7zr.exe is not up to the task for this particular archive. As far as I know, 7za.exe is only officially available within the extra.7z package, which unfortunately requires 7-Zip to unpack. As a result, I've resorted to hosting 7za.exe alongside my own project-- but I'd prefer to link to an official release instead.

Is this a possibility?

Thanks!

You can unpack 7za.exe with 7zr.exe from extra package.

I suppose I had not considered doing that. Thanks!

In the mean time, is it okay with you that I re-host 7za.exe?

Edit: Sorry, I read the license now. Thanks again!

I want to do the same thing for a project, I need to extract an archive that is in .exe format while in WinPE, and 7za does that for me. I was running into the same issue that I needed 7zip to get the files in the extra.7a. I'll try the 7zr idea to extract the 7za. - Didn't work, 7zr.exe does not run in WinPE x64 like 7za does. So I'm back to I need 7zip to extract 7zip. ARGH

@blake502 Do you have a method to get the latest link for the extra.7z file? I wrote one, but's it requires web scraping, and I'd rather not. Wasn't sure if there was redirect url that will always be the latest version, or another method to get the latest URL each time.

@ip7z - Any chance you can make 7zr.exe work in native x64 WinPE? Or make the extra.7z extra.zip so I can extract it in WinPE x64 with PowerShell? Thanks
