All other selection give the same message.

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 are the capture of the events
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.
