7-Zip Install Problem

Why does not the 7-Zip appear in the File Explore right-click menu and
how do I get it to show up.

Win 10 64bit OS and 64 bit processor.

Most recent 7-zip .msi 64 bit from 7-zip.org
http://www.7-zip.org/download.html

P.S. sometimes Seamonkey FAILS to get the posts on the server so I have
to send again. Checking the Seamonkey Sent folder shows it there but
never gets sent. Second try always worked in the past.

Is there a anything that works for you? 7-zip and sent folder - what is
the connection here? Have you always been like this not able to express
yourself? Why not Jihadists in Syria or Pakistan as they can use you to
achieve their objectives. They are always looking for people of low
intellect.

Unless you there is something in 7-zip that is especial, you can create
zip files from the Windows 10.

If you click on any folder of file, and click Send To it gives you the
option of creating a compressed (zip) file.

Once create you can open it and add files or remove files by using the
copy paste functions of the OS.

To unzip all the items in the zip file, open it and select Extract All
in the upper right corner.

There are a number of different compression tools,
which differ in their quality of compression. 7Z and RAR
are pretty efficient, but require more CPU work. Things
like GZIP or WinZIP might be considered "middle of the road".
LZ4 or LZO are lightweight compressors (the kind of thing
you might use in a backup program design). A lightweight compressor
only handles the most obvious entropy, and has a pretty light
CPU load.

The other thing 7Z has going for it, is the 7Z compressor
is multi-threaded (considering it is a CPU pig, it really
needs that!). On the ZIP side of the fence, we can get
this with PIGZ (parallel GZIP), but that's not too popular,
and has a slight problem with the header length field.
The Windows port is not kept up to date.

One thing all compressors seem to fall down on, is decompression.
Most compressors are asymmetric, where the decompressor is many
times faster than the compressor. But on the other hand, the
decompressor does not typically run at "disk speed", so it ends
up taking longer for the decompression to complete, than is
absolutely necessary. While the decompressor could in theory
be multi-threaded, I'm not aware of any software developer
attempting to do that.

It really depends on your space/time tradeoff, as to which
tool should be used. Every user situation could have a different
choice.

Now, in addition to being a compressor and decompressor, 7ZIP
also has "foreign file capability". If can extract files from
a VHD virtual disk for you. It can probe a bitmap image of a
disk drive (done with "dd"), recognize the presence of NTFS
(from the MBR info), and extract files from the NTFS partition.
It can open the Microsoft WIM format (but only the flavor with
the publicly available specification). So in a way, it is a
Swiss Army Knife, and deserving of having a right-click menu
while in File Explorer. You should really try it, as I think
you'd be impressed with the extra capability it gives you.

But, it's not a hacker tool - it probably cannot open the
20-30 different "packers" used on the Internet. Neither
can it open an InstallShield CAB file (something I feel should
be added :-) ). A regular CAB file would not be a problem.

While it does a lot, there's always something it cannot open.

*******

You can set the compression level, similar to how you can with
GZIP. And the 7Z compressor memory requirement, changes with
setting. If you select "Ultra", it can take 600MB of RAM per
thread of execution. If you select "Fastest", the RAM might be
in the low megabytes.

The compressor does not always run at full speed. If you have
a folder with 30,000 files of 1KB size each, and you watch with
Task Manager, you'll see that the program is not using all your
CPU cores. This is because the file system is too slow to feed
the program, and the multi-threading "starves". If you warm up
the file cache first, the compressor will run full speed - but, the
message here is, the file system is an impediment in any case.
No matter what tool reads the 30,000 files, it will be *slow*
because of NTFS. You can easily study the behavior using Task Manager,
to get a feeling for how it works.

To push the program to absolutely 100% CPU usage when compressing,
set the thread count to twice as many threads as you have
virtual CPU cores. If you have a 4C 8T processor, set the
thread count to 16, and that should cause 100% CPU and complete
the compression operation as quickly as possible. But if you
have many small files, then most of your CPU cores will be idle,
because they cannot get a chunk of files to work on.

The PIGZ program, would probably be a better program for
casual compression (takes less time, a middle of the road
compressor). But it needs just a tiny bit more support
from its developer. On the Windows side, someone compiled
a copy for us, but it's not synced with the main development
version.

7Z is useful, if you want to get the maximum mileage from
your hard drive. Like maybe being able to store two copies
of your computer room on one hard drive, instead of just
one copy. It takes roughly $1 of electricity here, to do
such a compression. Just in case you were wondering whether
any computer activity was "noticeable" on the power bill.

Already was set.

I noticed I had the 32 bit 7-Zip installed so I uninstalled it and
installed the 64 bit 7-Zip.

Working correctly now.

Strange the 32 bit 7-Zip had problems.
Must be a Windows 10 thing preventing the 32 bit 7-Zip from getting
access to the context menu.
