Vista - Archivers vs Vista

02-02-2009

I have this problem with Winzip 12.0 and Winrar 3.8: sometimes I have to
open such an archive and then after 10 secs they both are halted without any
warning etc. De-archiving with Zip-7 is oke and doesn't cause any error at
all. Can someone tell me what is going on here?

there's something that works.

You don't need other zip archive programs with Vista.
Vista can handle zip files via the right-click context menu.
You have probably got Winzip, Zip-7 and Winrar fighting over a zip file.
Uninstall the two zip utilities and keep Winrar for rars and cabs etc., not zips.

.....but only works partially.....

I use 7Zip also, and unless they've changed it in the last 2 months, using
7Zip, you can not unzip into a non-existant directory. You need to create
the new directory, then use 7Zip to extract to it. This is extremely
annoying.

With both WinZip & WinRAR, you can extract zipfile.zip to c:\temp\zipfile\
if c:\temp\zipfile\ does not exist....either of those will create c:\temp
\zipfile\, and then extract into it.

Must be in the way you are using 7Zip. Extracting from the Explorer
right-click context menu (Extract Files or Extract to [prenamed folder])
always creates a new folder for me.

You are correct !!. I'm now using v4.5.7 and it does seem to do that.

It's go to be version related, and the earlier version I was using didn't
create the directory, which had to be a year or two ago that I installed
it originally.....good to know.

Thanks.
