Failed to extract files from \cache\rubyinstaller, 7zip, decompress error

[vladyslav-androshchuk]

Hello!

During the execution of rbenv install 3.1.0 on Windows 10 in PowerShell, I'm getting the following error:

C:\Ruby\rbenv\bin\rbenv install 3.1.0

7zip v23.1.0 was installed using Chocolatey.

Hi @vladyslav-androshchuk

Thanks for reporting. I find that, the 7zip version v23.1.0 from Chocolatey is strange, because I don't find that version from a quick look at https://www.7-zip.org/download.html

I download the latest 24.01 beta (2024-01-31), find that -o option is still working.

So, I suggest you can try install 7zip by scoop or just manually install another version and save it into the PATH.

And the decompression logic is written here for check.

Hey! Somehow it's extremely hard to install 7zip today, any version from Choco doesn't work. Scoop can't install it, because the install URL is not accessible, as well as links from official sites. Maybe we can use other options for decompression, without 3d parties?

Also, we are using puppet to setup our machines, so only automation.

Thanks for your time.

Temporarily it's not possible to decompress without 7z.

Based on your comments any version from Choco doesn't work, I doubt it's may not because of 7zip.

You can insert a debug line like Write-Host $7zPath $ArgList -LogPath $LogPath before:

https://github.com/ccmywish/rbenv-for-windows/blob/main/lib/decompress.ps1#L47

to check what went wrong.

Just a guess: I guess maybe it's your path includes a space or other characters that cause the error.
