[build-error]: Failed to open the archive file: No such process

Update: you can close this. The issue was in the way I was handling the 7z file. I didn't understand how the internal directories of the file structure worked. After some extensive reading, I realized I was pointing at the wrong part of the file and bit7z obviously couldn't find the file where it didn't exist! It works now.

Thank you for this wonderful and simple wrapper!

Hi!
I'm sorry for not getting back to you sooner.

The issue was in the way I was handling the 7z file. I didn't understand how the internal directories of the file structure worked. After some extensive reading, I realized I was pointing at the wrong part of the file and bit7z obviously couldn't find the file where it didn't exist! It works now.

To be fair, the error message does not clearly explain what problem caused the exception.
In particular, the "No such process" part is not correct. It is probably a result of MinGW's stream classes not setting the last error using the Windows API, in contrast with bit7z expecting to read the error via the GetLastError WinAPI function.

I'll leave the issue open as a reminder and work on fixing the error message in the next patch version of the library!

Thank you for this wonderful and simple wrapper!

You're welcome! Thank you for using it! 🙏
