[Solved] Unable to decompress 7Zip

Here is the link to the site: https://sites.google.com/site/dctresear … -retrieval

7z e CorelDB.7z 

7-Zip 9.20  Copyright (c) 1999-2010 Igor Pavlov  2010-11-18
p7zip Version 9.20 (locale=en_US.utf8,Utf16=on,HugeFiles=on,2 CPUs)

Processing archive: CorelDB.7z

Error: Can not open file as archive

file CorelDB.7z 
CorelDB.7z: 7-zip archive data, version 0.3

Are all files corrupted or am I missing something?

For example I can decompress following : http://sourceforge.net/projects/sevenzi … z/download

Hi, CorelDB.7z is really a compressed archive? Maybe is other type of file with .7z as extension.

Archive is corrupt.  It's recognized as 7z archive by file because file uses "magic".

I would think you should be able to extract some files, but maybe another tool is required.  Or maybe it's just not possible with 7z archives.

You need to download all 7 files and extract from 'CorelDB.7z.001'.  Essentially, it's a single archive split into 7 parts.

I tried from the command line first, and the only archive that had extractable files  was the *.001 file.  I then remembered I have file-roller installed – it also saw only *.001 as an archive.  When I checked the properties of the archive, file-roller showed all 10,814 files in the archive and file-roller's status line shows 10,895 objects in the archive.

Yep, That was the thing. Thank you very much!
