Command Line

msiexec.exe /i "7z920.msi" /qn /norestart
x86 using MSI from download supressing restart, using default msi name.

msiexec.exe /i "7z920-x64.msi" /qn /norestart
x64 using MSI from download supressing restart, using default msi name.

Optional INSTALLDIR="C:\Program Files\7-Zip" can be added to either line.

/qn works as an optional replacement for /q that is stated in the FAQ (/qn is for quiet with no user interface.)

/norestart is also optional but works during testing

Script

For this install I had to uninstall the previous version that the former SysAdmin had installed. For 64bit he used MSIs and for 32bit he used the executable version. Formerly 7-zip 4.65. The following code checks for the new version (9.20) and goes to look for the old version (4.65), uninstalls it if it finds it, or just goes to the install if it doesn't find it. This is set up to handle 32 and 64bit through the same install based on the machine it's installing on.

::New Software Check

REG QUERY HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{23170F69-40C1-2701-0920-000001000000}

) ELSE (

Tested version: 9.20 x64 (MSI made by Igor Pavlov himself).

By default, users have to start 7-Zip (the application itself) at least once for the HKCU key "Software\7-Zip\Lang" to be set. This will then make the Explorer right-click menus appear in their language, instead of the default English. For my package, I set the language to "nb" (Norwegian Bokmaal).

To fix this problem, I created a transform with ActiveSetup registry values using Wise and trimmed it down with InstEd.

Change the registry value "nb" to what you want to be the default language - see the "C:\Program Files\7-Zip\Lang" folder to find your language.

Here's a copy & paste of the lines added in InstEd, apologies for the format:

"Registry" table:
(Registry Root Key Name Value Component_)

registry 1 Software\7-Zip Lang nb CurrentUser

registry2 2 Software\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\[ProductCode] 7-Zip_Language_Config registry2

registry3 2 Software\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\[ProductCode] StubPath msiexec.exe /fup [ProductCode] /qn registry2

registry4 2 Software\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\[ProductCode] Version 9,2,0,0 registry2

registry5 1 Software\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\[ProductCode] 7-Zip_Language_Config CurrentUser

registry6 1 Software\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\[ProductCode] Version 9,2,0,0 CurrentUser

"Component" table:
(Component ComponentID Directory_ Attributes KeyPath)

CurrentUser {B34BDE25-5ABC-4511-882A-D8276C2B2414} TARGETDIR 4 registry

registry2 {D08A4F3C-C21D-4DB7-8288-9734B0094229} TARGETDIR 4 registry2

Note

if you want to reduce and cascade the context menu options of 7-zip then you can find the related registry keys:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\7-Zip\Options]
"CascadedMenu"=dword:00000001
"ContextMenu"=dword:00003107

these are my preferred settings. I set them with my admin Notebook copied the values out of the registry and deployed them via GPO.
