New 7zip SFX for those who need it...

New 7-zip SFX

While we were finishing up 11.61 release, which was quite important, we got reported issue with our 7-zip SFX. It turns out it was quite (terrifying) slow when you have many files in it (reported issue was with 80,000 files). So as soon as 11.61 was out, we turned into fixing and improving that SFX.

New and updated version has instant startup, better progress and extraction times that are similar as in PowerArchiver. If you are using our 7zip sfx to distribute files to your users, it would be much advised if you get the updated version.

Here is the updated release:
http://powerarchiver.com/test/PASZIPSFX-new.DAT

To install it, you need to download it, remove “-new” from the filename, and copy it to your PowerArchiverSfxs folder.

Thanks for being so great and happy holidays!

“Extract To:” input doesn’t accept unicode characters (wait for PA2011?).

The SFX maker from the main application window creates an empty registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\David Cornish. This seems to be useless since there is no value under its sub-folders. But if this is needed, I would appreciate it if it is created created under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PowerArchiver to avoid cluttering.

Thanks.

Report them to forums please as usual, so we can keep track of it… i will send it to dev team to look at, not everything is possible to be unicode, sfx’s are definetly non standard as we do whatever we can to keep the size down… thanks
