I'm using 7z. I don't understand why it takes so long, it's usually pretty fast
Edit: I've just realized, I had not white-listed the new folder, and files were being scanned as they were extracted. All good now. Sorry.
Hi PhilOfPerth, I'm glad you got everything straightened out by whitelisting your new installation folder.
One other thing I'll mention in case it helps others who experience unusually long extraction times is to right-click the .7z file, choose Properties, (you should already be on the "General" tab), and at the bottom beside "Security" put a check in the box to "Unblock".
The extraction process usually slows down after 40 to 50% and can take over an hour for me if I don't unblock the file before attempting to extract it.
