Issues in extracting folders with 7za

[ute_man]

Hi everyone,

I have 2 identical lines used to extract folders using 7za.exe.

One of them works fine and not the other.

I cannot figure out what is going on with my code and I have already spent 2 days and frustrated.

Hence, seeking help from pros.

Please help.

My code below :
 

FileInstall("C:\Software\LSSAM_CBT.7z", @TempDir & "\LSSAM_CBT.7z", 1)
FileInstall("C:\Software\Maintenance_Tool.7z", @TempDir & "\Maintenance_Tool.7z", 1)
FileInstall("C:\Software\7za.exe", @TempDir & "\7za.exe", 1)
FileInstall("C:\Software\7za.dll", @TempDir & "\7za.dll", 1)

Runwait(@ComSpec & " /c " & @TempDir & "\7za.exe x LSSAM_CBT.7z -o"&@TempDir&" -aoa", "", @SW_HIDE)
Sleep(1000)
Runwait(@ComSpec & " /c " & @TempDir & "\7za.exe x Maintenance_Tool.7z -o"&@TempDir&" -aoa", "", @SW_HIDE)

This line works perfectly :

Runwait(@ComSpec & " /c " & @TempDir & "\7za.exe x LSSAM_CBT.7z -o"&@TempDir&" -aoa", "", @SW_HIDE)

But the below does NOT.

Runwait(@ComSpec & " /c " & @TempDir & "\7za.exe x Maintenance_Tool.7z -o"&@TempDir&" -aoa", "", @SW_HIDE)

Please let me know what is wrong with this, eventhough it is identical to the first one.

Thanks a lot.

Change the /c to /k so you can see the output from 7za. Do you see any 7-zip specific errors?

...don't forget to remove the @sw_hide flag too, or you still won't see anything.

good catch, missed that

Gents,

Thank you so much for your quick replies.

I changed /c to /k and removed @sw_hide and then got the following.

But the file was actually there. (Maintenance_Tool.7z)

Then I changed the code as below and then it worked.

Runwait(@ComSpec & " /c " & @TempDir & "\7za.exe x ""Maintenance_Tool.7z"" -o" & @TempDir & " -aoa", "", @SW_HIDE)

I enclosed the file name with quotes - ""Maintenance_Tool.7z""
 

Thank you so much all, much appreciated.

This forum is amazing, and people like you are more amazing !!!!

You're missing a space after -o

Thanks Nine - It does not work if you add a space after -o.

The only way I managed it was by enclosing file name with quotes.

Thanks again.
