Title: Cannot figure out error in Clrmamepro
Post by: kmoney2315 on 22 April 2014, 02:17
Hello,
I have 4.014b of clrmamepro installed and I keep getting an error that says  (Can't run 7z.exe! Please check Setting/Compressor setting). I have everything on default settings along with the latest 9.32 alpha version of 7zip installed.I am on Windows 7 64 edition as well. I am getting this error when I am scanning mame roms checking and fixing against a datfile so I can update my mame set. I start getting this error within a few seconds of pressing the scan now button and I cannot continue on. I have tried many things and cannot fix this problem and any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

Well a few points depend on exactly how you are going to update ?
Scan & fix ? Then download 'over the top' from a torrent site ?

But the basic answer - is copy paste 7z.exe and put it into same folder as CMP
Or just set the path to 7z.exe in "Compressor" settings

if you don't specify a full path to the 7z exe file in the dialog you need to ensure that the folder where 7z is installed is part of your %PATH% environment variable.
