Problems opening a 7Zip/Zip file

Post by vld »

I created a script to backup some files and used 7za.exe. When trying to view the archive by clicking on it with Salamander, I am warned that the file is part of a multi-volume archive or is corrupt. But I can right click and open with 7zip or even use Windows Explorer and it will open the file.

Here's the command I'm using in the script: 7za.exe a D:\DATA.BKP\%mm%.%dd%.%yy%.zip @d_files.txt

If you need the 7za.exe, I can upload it.

AFAIK, thats because the 7za.dll in plugins folder does not support multivolume archives.

The file is not a multivolume archive and I have been able to open a multivolume archive with Salamander.

{bump}
Just for the heck of it, I renamed the file with a 7z extension instead of ZIP and I was able to open it.

My bad. :oops: :oops: I thought I covered the necessary switches. Thanks, the -tzip switch did the trick.
