Thanks for the tip, but it doesn't work. Same error. You misunderstand what I wrote: "For me it would be better, when I get asked by 7-zip for giving that admin right." - I wrote "when I get asked by 7-zip for giving that admin right." - So I could decide to give 7zip the admin rights through the user account control (UAC) or not. But if I'm not asked, then I can't give 7zip the right to write in the programs folder. 7zip should not do anything that could compromise the security of my (or anyone...

Hello AmigoJack! I can't understand how you come up with that. The error refers to the creation of a compressed file from an uncompressed file in the folder "C:\Program Files". It is not about compressing itself or the compression algorithm. That is correct. It's about 7zip not being able to create files in "folders without sufficient permissions" via the context menu. I don't want to save that in a different folder. Using "add to archive..." from the context menu results in the same error. This...

Getting asked for privilege rights to compress something
Hello Igor, thanks a lot for that awsome packaging tool! I miss a little option, that ask for higher privilege rights on Windows. P.e. I want to backup an .ini-file in C:\Program Files. If I do this I get an error message. For me it would be better, when I get asked by 7-zip for giving that admin right. My workaround at the moment is to open '7-zip file manager' with admin rights and navigate manually to the folder C:\Program Files. This is not comfortable. Maybe you could add this in a future release?...
