Telogenesis Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 Im having a problem with getting 7zip installed correctly onto my windows 7 system, i had 7zip on my windows Xp and it worked fine. The problem i find id that even after i installed the correct version for windows 7 i still can not open 7zip archives like i used to on Xp, this is the only way i know how to do it, right click the file and click the extract here or to this location option , i dont even get that on windows 7 now. ive tried to open the archives in the 7zip file manager and i cant get it to open the selection window where i can select the proper file to open, instead i get a full list of archives on my torrent downloader. Can anyone help me with this?
eric31415 Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 Are you running a Torrent version of the game?
jhardingame Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 Are you running a Torrent version of the game? 7-zip isn't a game, it's a file opening program. @OP: Is your Windows 7 a 64-bit version? If so, download the files for a 64bit os system.

bben46 Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 I use 7-zip (64 bit) with Win7 x64 and it works fine for me. Do you have the 64 bit version or 32 bit version of Win7? And have you installed the proper version of 7-zip - either 64 bit (x64) or 32 bit (x86) to go with your version of Win7? Note: the x86 is an older nomenclature referring back to the instruction set for the 16 bit 8086 chip. For some reason, Intel changed the nomenclature with the 64 to refer to the number of bits instead of the instruction set used.
HeyYou Posted September 7, 2011 Posted September 7, 2011 Try running the 7zip installer as admin... (right click on the installer, it will be an option.)
Telogenesis Posted September 8, 2011 Author Posted September 8, 2011 Yes i installed the proper version , it wants to work sometimes , sometimes it doesn't want to work. Ive reinstalled it again still doing the same thing. I have the 64 bit system, and thats what i installed. Ill try reinstalling it again as admin and see if that works. Thank you all for the help! id love to be up and running again soon.
Telogenesis Posted September 8, 2011 Author Posted September 8, 2011 For some reason i had two copys installed one as admin one not, so i uninstalled both and reinstalled as admin and its working fine now, thank you all for your help!!!!!!
