Is there a way to make 7zip temporarly uncompress the whole archive when double-clicking on an exe?
- by Gnoupi
In WinRAR, one feature which I like is the fact that you can set it to uncompress the whole archive in a temporary place, if you double-click on an .exe file inside the archive opened in WinRAR.
Typically, I often download small games, which I just want to try, without the hassle of creating a folder for it, etc. Same for archives containing an installer with its own separate files.
In the 7-zip window, if I double-click an exe, it will just extract the exe in a temporary location and launch it. In the small game context (or installer), it means that it will simply fail, because it will miss required files in the same folder.
So my question is: Is there a way to make 7-zip extract the whole archive in a temporary folder when launching an exe from inside the archive?
