7z check does not account for 64bit installs

[cole-h]

I am on Windows 10 x64 and I have the x64 version of 7z installed (to C:\Program Files); the check for whether or not 7z exists checks the C:\Program Files (x86) directory. To fix this, I changed $env:programfiles to $env:ProgramW6432 on lines 28-9 and 104. Maybe add another setting at the top to specify if your archiver install is x64 as opposed to x86?

However, I am willing to believe this is a quirk with my system (wouldn't surprise me).

My 7zip is installed in C:\Program Files\7-Zip and I'm on Windows 10 x64. I have not had any issues with the script. Can you post the error you're getting and copy paste it here?

Sorry but it looks like you don't have a supported archiver. Please install 7zip or WinRAR. Press any key to exit...

By running the ps1 exactly as it is found in the repo, this is what I am greeted with. By changing if (Test-Path $env:programfiles\7-zip\7z.exe) { $archiverProgram = "$env:programfiles\7-zip\7z.exe" to if (Test-Path $env:ProgramW6432\7-zip\7z.exe) { $archiverProgram = "$env:ProgramW6432\7-zip\7z.exe"

I am greeted with this: https://pastebin.com/KYr7xjAE.

I fixed that error by changing if($archiverProgram = "$env:programfiles\7-zip\7z.exe") { to if($archiverProgram = "$env:ProgramW6432\7-zip\7z.exe") {. After that, everything works.

(BTW: I forced the detected driver version to 111.11 because I'm already on the latest version and otherwise the error would not pop up because, well, it didn't need to try and install anything)

Can you replace lines 28-38 with this block of code? I borrowed this from @z4rticus's fork.

$7z=(dir $env:ProgramFiles* 7z.exe -r).fullname
$winrar=(dir $env:ProgramFiles* winrar.exe -r).fullname
if ($7z) {
    $archiverProgram = $7z
} elseif ($winrar) {
$archiverProgram = $winrar
} else {
    Write-Host "Sorry but it looks like you don't have a supported archiver."
    Write-Host "Please install 7zip or WinRAR."
    Write-Host "Press any key to exit..."
    $key = $host.UI.RawUI.ReadKey("NoEcho,IncludeKeyDown")
    exit
}

That leaves me with this: https://pastebin.com/K0PzgiUz

For giggles, can you run this in an admin powershell window for me? Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted

Then try running the attached version for me. nvidia_issue8.zip

Could I have messed up my 7z installation somehow?

Can you open a powershell window and do the following commands? Each of these will let me know if it can list every file in the Program Files/Program Files x86 folder. From what I gather, it's getting hung up on looking for the 7zip executable. I only need the output if it errors out.

cd 'C:\Program Files\'
Get-ChildItem -Recurse

cd 'C:\Program Files (x86)\'
Get-ChildItem -Recurse

Then can you give me the output of this command: $PSVersionTable

$PSVersionTable output:

x64 Program Files didn't return any errors, but the x86 one did:
