Mean user base makes Steve cry

Hey friends
ZIP packed file makes me cry because 64bit version of new QB64pe is unzippable using 7zip! This program stucks at the half of the work of unzipping!
I have had to install PeaZip to get the file unzipped after several minutes!

Thanks for reading

Wow it is fantastic to import settings from previous version of QB64pe installed!

I had the same problem with WinRAR 5.6. Get the latest version of 7z 24.09, then right-click on the zip file: "Open with 7z". That works.

I have the same issue where it gets to around 50% and stalls.  Actually stalls is incorrect...it gets CRAZY SLOW...it keep going, but would take hours to finish.  I noticed this same behavior with several different versions of 7-Zip but only while running under Ryzen 7 and Ryzen 9 CPUs - specifically 3 different desktop Ryzen 7 systems, a Ryzen 7 laptop, and 3 different Ryzen 9 desktop systems.  I just unzip using an Intel NUC with a 5th gen i5 and then copy over to the NAS and then distribute to my systems.  I assume that it is an issue between 7-Zip and the AMD architecture and something with QB64pe, but my workaround is sufficient as the only time I need this is when a new QB64pe is released.

One important thing to notice is that this issue ONLY happens with 7-Zip when I am unzipping QB64pe.  I zip/unzip tons of other files and never have this issue...only with QB64pe.  I just zipped/unzipped a 3.5GB ISO of Office 2019 PRO to test and it worked flawlessly (unzipped in 8 seconds).

ALSO of more importance...QB64pe 4.0 compiles F-A-S-T-E-R !!!  WooHoo !!!  Thank you to the devs!!!
