Trying the 7-Zip Plugin

Hello.

I have been trying to get compressed files to open from FreeCommander using 7-Zip. I can not seem to make that work.
My desktop uses c:\programs\freecommander\ and a virtual uses the set default (that other people use) C:\Program Files (x86)\FreeCommander XE\
Testing on my virtual first, I tried to follow https://freecommander.com/forum/viewtop ... 548#p39548, post 27 by ags1905, but I am still getting the error.

I gather the post is few months aged, but I was hoping it would still work.

I downloaded...

Total7Zip.zip

https://github.com/danpeig/freecommande ... al7Zip.zip

freecommander_total7zip_installer-1.5.zip

https://www.danbp.org/p/en/node/151 (I tried those directions but was not working on my Window$ 7 in testing)

I created a subfolder "wcx" and extracted both folders in it.

C:\Program Files (x86)\FreeCommander XE\plugins\wcx\freecommander_total7zip_installer-1.5\

C:\Program Files (x86)\FreeCommander XE\plugins\wcx\Total7zip\

I did the configure steps.

https://www.mediafire.com/view/kzikg84a ... 9.png/file

Saved changes.

Then edited the total7zip.xml file with my path:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<settings>
<lister_plugin fontColor="0" bgColor="16777215" fontSize="10" fontFx="0" font="Courier New" />
<gui lang="" />
<debug logLevel="0" />
<path path_7z_dll="C:\Program Files (x86)\FreeCommander XE\Plugins\wcx\Total7zip\7z.dll" path_7zG_exe="C:\Program Files (x86)\FreeCommander XE\Plugins\wcx\Total7zip\7zG.exe" />
<path64bit path_7zG_exe="C:\Program Files (x86)\FreeCommander XE\Plugins\wcx\Total7zip\64\7zG.exe" path_7z_dll="C:\Program Files (x86)\FreeCommander XE\Plugins\wcx\Total7zip\64\7z.dll" />
<compression save="1" sfx="7z.sfx" updateSfx="0" askByContent="0" askByContentTimeout="1" alwaysWait7zip="1" extractToTempCount="20" deleteToRecycleBin="1" keySimpleMode="-1">
<settings_7zip Level="0" Archiver="" ShowPassword="0" EncryptHeaders="0">
<Options />
</settings_7zip>
</compression>
<passwords save="0" />
<formats save="1" />
<formatsDisabled />
</settings>

And still an error. I am guessing maybe since the FreeCommander code changes since September.

Could I have missed something or just done it wrong?

Thank you.

The whole topic for using the Total Commander Total7zip plugin in FC
is handled here much to complicated.

To always use the actual 7zip version without later changing anything in the FC settings
download and install the actual x64 7zip from:
https://7-zip.org/a/7z2300-x64.exe

Download the actual Total Commander plugin from:
http://totalcmd.net/download.php?id=Total7zip
Unpack the contents under the FC dir Plugins\Total7zip.
Add the Total7zip.wcx64 from this under the FC archiver plugins.
The path shown here is from my settings and not for you.

Using my version of the Total7zip.xml under Plugins\Total7zip you can save some editing.

Yups, I do have 7zip installed. Been using it since version one.
Let me try your method and I reply back...

Darn. I tried your method still a no go.

Deleted everything under "C:\Program Files (x86)\FreeCommander XE\plugins"

Grabbed that Total Commander file.

Extracted and copied into mentioned folder.
C:\Program Files (x86)\FreeCommander XE\plugins\Total7Zip
/64
7-Zip History.txt
7-zip.chm
7z.dll
7z.sfx
7zG.exe
/Lang
License.txt
/PluginLang
pluginst.inf
readme.rtf
readme_ru.rtf
Total7zip.lng
total7zip.template.xml
Total7zip.wcx
Total7zip.wcx64
total7zip.xml

Modified my plugins window like yours, changing the path to match. Gosh, how do you just add an image without pasting a link?
https://www.mediafire.com/view/8x8pqbg4 ... 1.png/file

I copied your text for the Total7zip.xml, and we have the same 7-zip path, and copied the file first to "C:\Program Files (x86)\FreeCommander XE" and when that did not work, I put a copy in "C:\Program Files (x86)\FreeCommander XE\plugins\Total7Zip"

Still, errored:
https://www.mediafire.com/view/qv2eok2y ... 5.png/file

I must be blind and missing something, or something. Still playing with it.

You use probably 32 bit FC.
Try Total7zip.wcx and not Total7zip.wcx64.

Ah, you got it. I do use the 32bit. I did not think of that. I change the plugin file and now it opens archives without giving me the error again.
Thank you.
