Frequent CB7 Opening Issues
7-Zip Isn't There
You attempt to load your CB7 file and get an error such as "%%os%% Can't Open The CB7 File Extension". If so, it typically means that you don't have 7-Zip installed for %%os%%. You won't be able to double-click to open your CB7 because your OS doesn't know what to do with it.
Tip: When you have another program installed that you know will open your CB7, you can select it from the other programs listed (see "Show Apps").
Incorrect 7-Zip Version
In some cases, you might have a newer (or older) version of a Comic Book 7-Zip Archive file that is unsupported by your installed application version. Download the latest 7-Zip version from the Igor Pavlov website to ensure you have the correct one installed. This problem is predominately due to having a Comic Book 7-Zip Archive file version that was created by a newer version of 7-Zip than what you have installed on your PC.
Tip: Find clues on the correct software version by right-clicking your CB7 file and clicking "Properties".
Primarily, problems experienced when opening CB7 files are due to having the incorrect version of 7-Zip installed on your computer.
