FreeCommander Forum

I found 651_x64 working extraordinary well with my freecommander.ini from FCXE_x32.

unfortunately wcx_Total7zip plugin doesn't work correctly on my configuration.
there is no problem to Unpack files (zip.7z.rar) with the plugin.
when I want to pack Pack files with the plugin, FCXE651_x64 crashes immediately.

i'm not sure if it's the plugin or FCXE_x64.
but I assume it might be FCXE because from version 644/645 wcx_Total7zip has got some severe stability issues that I never had before.

No problem for me. Remember to choose the right version in FC XE settings: Total7zip.wcx64 .

... and the 7z.sfx from the "64" subfolder!

o.k., I re-checked and I cannot find a mistake.
as I can unpack files I think it MUST be the x64-plugin.

unpack files is o.k.
pack files is broken on my machine

this is what i have: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/142 ... ttings.png
and
this is what i get: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/142 ... al7zip.png

just for the record: i also have 7zip9.20x64 installed on my computer

Almost the same settings as in my case (only the name of the folder is different).
Total7zip does not interfere with installed 7zip application. But it uses 7zip settings stored in the registry if you don't configure compression settings during archive creation.

Do you have this string in your settings file: alwaysWait7zip="1" ? Try deleting Total7zip.xml file (back it up first, just in case) so it is automatically created with default settings. Total7zip.xml is created where FreeCommander.exe is and not in Total7zip plugin folder if you use the portable FC XE version.

And try changing this line to the correct 64 bit values if you didn't do it already (although the default ones should work just fine):

Also please check in what format are you trying to pack files? Total7Zip DOES NOT support RAR for PACKING! So crash may occur if you try to pack in unsupported format (at your screenshots 7z and rar formats are shown in settings - it is not correct). Total7Zip support only 7z.xz.bzip2.gzip.tar.wim formats for packing.

@joby_toss

thank you both for your help! when I heard it's running flawlessly on your machines I continued seeking, trying and investigating.
finally I decided to wipe fcxe_x64 of my disk and started from scratch.

now it works, don't ask me why!


btw, just for curiosity: where should i have put this?
<path64bit path_7zG_exe=".\Plugins\wcx\Total7zip\64\7zG.exe" path_7z_dll=".\Plugins\wcx\Total7zip\64\7z.dll" />

In the settings file Total7zip.xml (adapting the paths accordingly, of course).
