Thanx for the update Cliffo,

I wonder if we will see a plugin to edit mounted wims?

(Yeah I know it's open source... but I'm way too lazy... )

You're welcome Craig, good things come to those who are lazy....

LOL... btw I meant mounted iso's... (Wim needs dism. which in turn calls a bunch of API's)

If anyone is interested, the 17.xx version has been updated.
Beta download at Sourceforge: https://sourceforge.net/p/sevenzip/d...read/de8085ea/

17.01 beta 2017-08-28
-------------------------
- Minor speed optimization for LZMA2 (xz and 7z) multi-threading compression.
7-Zip now uses additional memory buffers for multi-block LZMA2 compression.
CPU utilization was slightly improved.
- 7-zip now creates multi-block xz archives by default. Block size can be
specified with -ms[Size]{m|g} switch.
- xz decoder now can unpack random block from multi-block xz archives.
7-Zip File Manager now can open nested multi-block xz archives
(for example, image.iso.xz) without full unpacking of xz archive.
- 7-Zip now can create zip archives from stdin to stdout.
- 7-Zip command line: @listfile now doesn't work after -- switch.
Use -i@listfile before -- switch instead.
- The BUGs were fixed:
7-Zip could add unrequired alternate file streams to WIM archives,
for commands that contain filename wildcards and -sns switch.
7-Zip 17.00 beta crashed for commands that write anti-item to 7z archive.
7-Zip 17.00 beta ignored "Use large memory pages" option.

New 7-Zip beta out:


18.00 beta 2018-01-10
-------------------------
- 7-Zip now can unpack OBJ/COFF files.
- new -sse switch to stop archive creating, if 7-Zip can't open some input file.
- Some bugs were fixed.

I keep getting this when I try to install!

Click the More info and then run anyway. Or, before downloading in the browser, select save, instead of run, then go to your downloads folder and right click the file and select properties, then unblock.
