Awesome, I'll give it a try and see what happens.  

Update: Yes, that works perfectly now. Thanks for the help Roman

Hello Roman,

I think that might be the case.

I've checked, and 7z uses the @ symbol as a parameter to add a list of files to an archive, e.g. @filelist.txt

Maybe it's getting confused and thinking the input file is supposed to be a list...

I have checked the archive to which it is writing, and it is neither solid nor locked.

BTW, I never had this problem under XP. Worked perfectly with the same version of clrmamepro (3.137b), the same DATs and the same ROM input / 7z output files.

It's probably just Windows 7... I've noticed a few strange things.

Thanks for taking the time to look into this though, and thanks for writing such a fantastic tool

If you need any other information, please let me know.

Cheers

Carlos

clrmame Discussion / Problems rebuilding files starting with @ into 7z archives under Windows 7

« on: 11 February 2011, 00:33 »

As per the subject, I have found a few sets containing files starting with @ symbols. These fail to build/rebuild into 7z archives under Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit, and produce the following error:



If I select Yes, the destination archive becomes corrupted. Selecting No, however, skips the problematic files without corrupting the destination archive.

Has anybody else had this problem? I searched the forums but couldn't find anything similar (unless I missed it).

Any replies appreciated.

Many thanks

Carlos
