i'm busy moving house this week, and my next operation is october 1st, but i'll look into your problem before that, please bear with me with tux's guidance, i've made a new 7zip installer for myself, but the one i made removes all txt files, the help files and the some of the formats that 7zip supports, so i can't release that as i'm sure it'll contradict the open licence or similar, i know little about licencing, the author of 7zip has asked me to include a GNU (i think it was GNU) message with my release, really don't know what that means tho!) need to read up on that before i do my next release
