Failed to extract files

I'm following your instructs to install the solarized theme, but i'm running into issues

PS C:\Users\Rocky Assad> scoop install 7zip

Hmmm... Just updating 7z to 9.22 I don't get that error:

Sorry about my previous (deleted) message, I accidentally hit enter.

1639 is an invalid command line, so maybe there are some unexpected characters in the path that Scoop's trying to use.

Can you please try extracting the MSI manually with these commands which will hopefully log information about what went wrong:

mkdir test
msiexec /a (resolve-path "~\appdata\local\scoop\cache\7zip#9.20#http_downloads.sourceforge.net_project_sevenzip_7-zip_9.20_7z920-x64.msi") TARGETDIR="$pwd\test" /log debug.txt

This will leave a test directory and a debug.txt file in the directory you run it from. If you can post the debug.txt file here that'd be great (and delete the test directory too).

@ntwb I don't think it's the 9.20 version that's the problem—it still works fine for me, and the hash check passes so it's the right file.

[CodisRedding]

@lukesampson I did what you wrote, but the debug.txt file wasn't ever created.

This Windows Installer app pops up everytime I run the command.

Oh thanks. I should have spotted it earlier—it wasn't handling the space in your user path properly. This should be fixed now if you run scoop update; scoop uninstall 7zip; scoop install 7zip.

I couldn't find any other similar problems with the space after some quick tests, but if you find any more please let us know!

Thanks 😄

wonderful, fixed! ty
