Edge Cases

  • The command reports an error if Archive File Path does not exist or is not a file.
  • If Extraction Directory is empty, the archive is extracted beside the archive file. The directory is created automatically if it does not exist.
  • The current extraction command enables overwrite confirmation, so existing files with the same name may be overwritten.
  • An error is reported if the password is incorrect, the archive is damaged, or 7-Zip fails. Although the underlying method returns the extraction directory, this command has no output parameter, so the return value is not saved in the workflow.
