As far as I understand Xpero Xpize looks for 7-Zip in the default system path for programs (%PROGRAMFILES%). As I install all my programs in a seperate path on another partition, Xpize does not recognize 7-Zip. You can bypass this by copying the 7-Zip dir to C:\Programme before the installation. After the installation you can copy the contents of the folder to the real dir. If you update 7-Zip (which probably happens quite often) you obviously lose all the changes. You can only avoid this by installing 7-Zip to the default path ATM. That's right, I did it this way. But is it so unusual to install an application not to the standard-folder? I guess it's a better idea to get the path of the application out of the registry, like in my example. Then you can install 7-zip whereever you want and XPize could still recognize it. Most applications put their path into the registry, so why not get it there?

Why not just get the path-value out of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\7-Zip ? In my case it is "d:\7-Zip"

Hello, I just found out about XPize, because there was a news on the german newssite winfuture.de I really like it, but I can't get version 4.4.2 to patch my 7-zip DLLs. I didn't try older versions of XPize. Is it a bug in XPize? The setup outputs something like "XPizing zip.dll" and so on with the other DLLs, but the "date of change" of the files didn't change and there are still the old icons inside. I am using 7-zip v4.42. Maybe XPize doesn't like the fact that I installed 7-zip onto a second partition, not into the standard program-folder. But this also works with eMule and XPize was able to install the emule-theme.
