Extract Files from .7zip which are password protected

[Suhas_M (Suhas Mariyappa)]

Hi All,
I have a file with the extension (.7z), with in that archive(BHI) there are 3 excel files which needs to download. These files are password protected. I can extract them manually by providing the password, However I need extract them using UiPath. I have tried to few solutions from the forum but didn’t work since I need to provide password. Below is the screenshot for your reference:

How to extract 7zip files using Uipath

@Vishnu_Reddy1 Hello Vishnu, one way to unpack 7z was as @moenk here wrote, use the Start Process activity with the 7z.exe command line version. Here an example: [image] Look at the commands and switches of 7z.exe CLI. It is in no case advisable to use an external activity for Zip/Unzip (not 7Zip), because UiPath offers a build in one, but this support only Zip format, not 7z. [image] Best regards Stefan
