I have a large 7-Zip archive on my system. When I click on it in Explorer to look inside I get this warning from Windows:
I tried the following with 7-Zip itself:
(1) Had it test the archive – it tested as fine.
(2) Extracted the archive – it extracted fine.
(3) Tested the file content of the archive against a working copy of the file used on the system using SHA-256 – it tested as fine.
(4) Updated 7-Zip to the latest current version, rebooted, and try to look in the archive in Windows Explorer – same result 'Catastrophic failure'.
I have other 7-Zip archives on my system and Windows Explorer looks into them just fine. So it's not a problem per se with the .7z archive format and Windows Explorer.
The only thing unusual (for me) is the size of the reported errant archive, it is 2.55 GB in size. (All my other .7z archives are small.)
Anyone else having this problem with large 7-Zip archives on their system?
