Yes, older version on the bottom of page in link it's a "pestubed " older 7z and can open .exe self extracting files and .iso and .msi (with some flaws)

Opening autoextracting files create with 7z (.exe) and iso and .msi , not suporting in 7za and .rar

Mhhh: but reactOs can coexist with a freedos distro? I want mantain dos on my second notebook.. Reactos use a true dos or use an emulation like win xp?

Hi, I did wonder early on if like myself he's had other things affecting his hobby, however a couple of months ago I spent several hours trying to see if I could locate anything. I pulled up various resources and noted that the game stuff he was also working on went all quiet at the same time. I thought about emailing the domain admin for his website or one of the other 3/4 game developers to try and find out but have been caught up with my own concerns.

I think at the last it's worthwhile making sure HX is better archived somewhere.

Hi all , guys..

I've download 7zip 9.20 from this link

http://www.7-zip.org/a/7z920.exe

(autoexpand exe version, can be open only from older 7zip pestubbed on dos)

In the list of files in package it's enclosed a 7zip32.dll , "32 bit system dll".

BUT this file it's missing in distro..so i suppose the 32 bit and 64 bit are the same, different only for 32 bit dll .

For this reason after pestubbed hx rt don't found the correct version and
allert regarding icorrect windows version.

I don't understand why hx don't ask for the 7zip32.dll during execution.

I'm wrongh abouth this ?
