Windows 7 x64 PC running 7-Zip 19.00 (x64) 2019-02-21 (this is the version my company allows to be pushed to our PCs).

I have a .dmg file with a password from a vendor and when I right click on it and select Extract files... and provide the password it gives the messae, " Can not open the file as [DMG] archive with password".
All other selection give the same message.

    Selected Extract File.. on .pdires.dmg or pdires.dmg give this result.

    I don't see any password things here.
    Please describe all actions and clicks in details from beginning.

    Hello,
    I started again on a windows 10 64bit PC.
    had 7-Zip v19.00 pushed out last night,
    Open 7-Zip, select the file pdires.dmg to Extract and enter the supplied password.
    Gives the same message "Cannot open the file as [Dmg} archive.

    Here is what the person that made the file had to say about it;

    " I created the image from Mac using disk utility. I created it as a hybrid image (HFS+/ISO/UDF) with 256-bit AES encryption. "

    " ISO images are compatible with Windows. To my knowledge, Windows 8 and 10 have built-in application for mounting ISO images, but Windows 7 requires you to use a third-part application. One option is installing WinCDEmu (https://wincdemu.sysprogs.org) which should be free, but I do not have experience using it myself. "

    You don't need to enter password, if 7-zip doesn't ask it in additional "password" window, when you open archive.

    And 7-Zip doesn't support encrypted dmg files.
    Actually I don't know about that encrypting feature in dmg and how it works.

    If you can create small example of such dmg archive with password and attach it here, I can investigate that feature for future 7-Zip.
