    64 bit command line unzip utility


    So...I got this new computer in at work.
    7pro, 64 bit, quad core AMD X4 B95.
    No biggie, but a small step up from my 7 month old X2 B22 processor work rig, which was 32 bit.

    I need a command line unzip utility that works with 64 bit OS.

    Previously I used pkunzip and funzip utilities and it worked perfect...

    I get lost in the shareware, scamware, etc., trying to find something that will work.
    Something easy, all I want.

    Hi,

    You'll find that you can download a command line version of Winrar

    WinRAR archiver, a powerful tool to process RAR and ZIP files

    32bit software should still work in a 64bit os.

    have you tried pkunzip or funzip on your new machine?

    Yep...and I get errors. I tried to figure out Winrar, problem is when it unzips files it renames them incorrectly (for us to use and import into Oracle).

    Here's the exact error message I receive:

    This version of C:\Windows\system32\pkunzip.exe is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running. Check your
    computer's system information to see whether you need a x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) version of the program, and then contact the software publisher.

    My brain is fried...been working on this all day.
    It used to be as simple as a simple command line, such as funzip *.* or pkunzip *.* once I was in the folder I needed to be via command prompt.
    I'll work on this more tomorrow...thanks for the help.
