Does it work with latest 7-Zip 24.02?
If it is not supported still with latest beta version, please give the link to download such unsupported file.

7za.exe is reduced version of 7-zip console.
Use 7z.exe instead.

Hi Igor,
Thanks 7z.exe for 24.04 is working for me.
It would be great if you could let me know where I can download its console version - https://www.7-zip.org/a/7z2404.exe is its installer , but I need a console version - thouch I can install it and us 7z.exe and 7z.dll in my application.
