7Zip not playing ball.

Hi Folks,
My friends pc runs Win7 Pro, when a file is right clicked, select 7Zip > compress and email he gets a message 'there is no mail program etc' he has latest version of Win Live Mail & it's set as default.
Its set in FF options.

I found some links that might help.

• Why aren't WinZip's email features working for me? - WinZip Computing :: Knowledgebase
• https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=619960

Hi koolkat77, thanks for the links, but they never helped.

I think that feature of 7z doesn't work. I've tried the same, I have outlook as my default mail app and it says:

Weird

The compress and email button shows the same error message.

7Zip works perfectly on my pc.

Probably a setting then :) You could compare your email & 7zip settings with your friends PC.

It's me who looks after both pc's, only difference is mine is Home Prem, friend's is Pro.

I found two more threads with the similar problem.

• 7-Zip / Bugs / #1079 compress and email not work on win7
• 7-ZIP and administrator rights problem. - Page 2

Are they both particularly 32 or 64 bit?
