I don't know, but I do know that WinRAR does a lot more (and is paid) and it can open 7-Zip archives.
Just installing winrar with "/S" switch will setup the associations.

I like 7zip too, for it wonderful compression - but its not always that much higher compression than others. So I just install 7zip when needed - and manually choose the associations.

After setting your pref inside 7zip, export the [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\7-ZIP\FM\Associations] key. Here is mine:

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\7-ZIP\FM\Associations]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\7-ZIP\FM\Associations\001]

This reg mod check the associations in 7zip only, in reality windows cannot open the archives with 7zip yet , you must modify directly HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT key ! (it's long but that works , and you can put the reg of big_gie for coordinate 7zip and windows ...

Sorry for my bad expression, i'm french ...
goodbye !

(ps this is my first post :-) & Great ressource site for unattend windows install

[prathapml]

Right, either make those modifications to HKCR tree, or apply the HKCU keys above at T-12 (through cmdlines.txt).

[laderio]

Anyone knows, how to unattended install 7-Zip for all users instead of the current?

-y /q /r:n <-- works fine, but only installs for the current user

[MCT]

install it @ T-12

[laderio]

Sure this would work. I also thought about this ^^ But would be nice, if there is a possibility, which installs it after the installation for all users This possibility doesn't exist, right?

if you want to install 7zip with associations take this regs :

[-I-]

here is an other Q:

when installing 7z i realy hate the way is set in my shell

(right click menu)
| open
| run as
| 7z Extract files
| 7z Extract here
============
| Scan with Norton AV
etc.

Is there anywhone who can tell me how to make it apear like this.

(right click menu)
| Open
| Run as
| 7zip > | 7z Extract files
| .......... | 7z Extract here
| Scan with Norton AV
etc.

[Astalavista]

go to www.7zip.org

[laderio]

Try this, works well for me:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\7-ZIP\Options]
"CascadedMenu"=dword:0x00000001
"ContextMenu"=dword:0000000F37

The value for the key "ContextMenu" depends on the options you want to be listed, just set them inside 7-Zip and get the value out of registry



Question:
Anyone already tested using HKLM instead of HKCU?
tw. what type is the setup? Would it work to copy the files and make a link with the reg-tweaks fpr 7-Zip?


@Sonic:
You're sure, the "Plugins"="" part is necessary?
