0 Guest Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Search for 7-zip, not 7zip. Also, try reinstalling, no idea why it doesn't work for you. The experience is the same across Vista, 7 and 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 +Zlip792 MVC Posted July 6, 2014 MVC Share Posted July 6, 2014 Stable version listed on their website is too old and was released in November 2010. I suggest you to try Alpha version from here: https://www.neowin.net/news/7-zip-933-alpha If you already trying Alpha version, I will suggest you to look through current bugs list on their project page: http://sourceforge.net/p/sevenzip/bugs/?source=navbar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 jasondefaoite Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 I've been using 7zip stable release on Windows 8.1 without issue. I guess the obvious question, I assume you have installed the correct 32 or 64bit for your system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
