Unable to make 7z archive

Wait 5 sec.

When attempting to make a 7z archive it would fail immediately showing ~9000m and saying cannot complete requested operation with nothing displayed under report. Found a comment on another post recommending copying the console screen and running that directly to see if it provides more information. When running that in powershell I get a message stating - 7z.exe : The term '7z.exe' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. After a quick google it seemed to suggest to specify full path or add it to PATH environment variables. Followed the instructions to add the 7zip path to environment variables and was able to make 7z archives Post mostly for info if someone else comes across it. But also curious if I was already supposed to have 7z in my environment variables and it's weird that I didn't or if it's something windows did at some point.   submitted by   /u/Parafaragaramus_   to   r/PeaZip [link]   [komentarze]
