RE: Can't extract par archive

Hi Roderich

Thanks for the comment. The author (I Pavlov) of 7-zip asked me about the file produced by

pp -o file.par script.pl

“7-Zip now checks only first 4 MB for zip headers.
But that archive contains some big sfx-stub that is larger than 4 MB.
Why does it add 4 MB win32 PE Executable STUB to zip archive?”
http://sourceforge.net/p/sevenzip/discussion/45798/thread/1b7a2f9a/?limit=25#22c1

I Suggest Mr Pavlov to ask his question to the par mailing list, Probably, the limit of 4 MB is something that has changed with the new version of 7-Zip.

Should I switch to IO::Uncompress::Unzip ?

Thanks

François

Hi Francois,

sorry I didn't revecive your post below via the mailing list.
I have moved from PAR v. 1.012 to 1.025 when I reinstall a new version of my strawberry perl. I recently used pp for a simple script and the resulting exe was ok. Now I'm trying to reproduce a series of steps to package a gui application, (steps that were working with my old perl install)
One of these step was to unzip the par file produced by a call to pp

pp -v 3 -cd .\ppcache -a glade ... -o %file%.par %inputfile%

but the par par file can not be unzipped using 7z (v. 15.12) or Jar

No changes in PAR and PAR::Packer here: they use Archive::Zip for reading and generating .par (i.e. zip) files.
Cheers, Roderich
