I have no idea what I'm doing #7

I'm a complete novice with this sort of thing, and I need to know how to get it set-up properly. I place the whole folder into my project folder and start up the program, but what ends up happening is I get the following:

yep_autoupdate_64bit.exe

Error: Failed attempt to launch program or document: Action: <7z.exe> Params: <x yep_2016.01.25.rar -aoa -o"C:\Users\Brandon\Desktop\My Flashdrive\CrazyIdea\Project3\yep_util-master\yep_autoupdate\bin\js\plugins">

Specifically: The system cannot find the file specified.

Line#

---> 173: RunWait,"%au7zPath%" x yep_%updated1%.rar -aoa -o"%A_LoopReadLine%\js\plugins",,hide

The current thread will exit.

OK

For clarification, CrazyIdea and Project3 are the names of my project, with the first being the folder its contained in and the second being the actual project. Any reasons it's giving me this message?

Okay, so first off, I'm guessing you either don't have 7-Zip installed, or have it installed but not on the PATH variable (and if you don't know what I mean there, it's no biggie). Second, you don't need to download the entire project if you're not interested in editing the tool; just pick up the binary (.exe) for your type of system (probably 64-bit it sounds like).

I would recommend downloading it to a folder above your projects (e.g. if your projects are C:\RMMV\ProjA, and C:\RMMV\ProjB, then put the .exe in C:\RMMV).

When you run it you'll be prompted to choose a project location; do so. Then add your second project from the menu option.

After you have it running from there and giving the error you reported when you try to update, you're ready to get your extraction tool setup. First choose whether you'll be using 7-Zip or WinRAR (7-Zip is free and open source; WinRAR is shareware). Once you know which one you're using, set it via the tool's menu. If you chose 7-Zip, and had it installed before posting this issue, then it's not on your PATH. Open the config file via the menu, and edit the 7ZipPath= option to the full path to your 7z.exe (e.g. 7ZipPath=C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe).

Please let me know if you have any further issues, and if you'd like, I can attempt to walk your through it via Discord.

Oh, and in case I missed something, most of what I typed there is covered here: https://github.com/nekoyoubi/yep_util/blob/master/yep_autoupdate/README.md
