most likely you're using 7z options which generate solid 7z files which are not supported, ie after the first file is created the following will fail.

if not I need some more details. for example send me the dat plus the belonging .cmp file from cmpros settings folder plus cmpro.ini.
I can look into this then after my holiday.

check settings/compressor/7z options. the default ones however are set to use non solid options but maybe 7z changed in the meanwhile.
as mentioned, it could be 7z related but not necessarily. please mail me the requested files and I will have a look at it next week.

Solved Roman!  I had user point to 7z.exe location.
