7Zip won't extract with absolute pathnames ?

[Halfwalker]

Erm, small snag here. I have a small .7z that contains a folder with 4 files in it. I want to extract that to the All Users Desktop ...

Just the WebMail extensions for Thunderbird - they won't integrate, since the WebMail.xpi one must be initialized before the others are installed.

In any case, the extract doesn't work. Running it manually as

C:\>%systemroot%\system32\7za e -o%allusersprofile%\Desktop\ d:\apps2\207.Mozilla\extensions.7z

Results in the error

Error:

cannot use absolute pathnames for this command

Huh ?

7-Zip is picky, anyways. It has a tendency to say that an archive isn't supported even when it's a supported archive file. If it's corrupted, instead of showing which part of it's corrupted, it will act like it's not even an archive file at all!

You need modified sfx modules to extract to a specific location.
