SevenZipSharp 的问题。 7z.dll 库未找到甚至定义的库路径

Question

I'm creating ASP.NET Web Application. I need in it to extract some '7z' files.

My code:

            SevenZipExtractor.SetLibraryPath(@"<some_path>\7z.dll");

            var zipExtractor = new SevenZipExtractor(zipPath);
            zipExtractor.ExtractArchive(path);

SetLibraryPath, according to SevenZipSharp documentation, should resolve the problem, but it doesn't.

During my tests in console app everything works fine but when I'm trying to run my web Application I get " Can not load 7-zip library or internal COM error: Message. failed to load library. ". In console app it's easier because dll files can be placed in Debug folder and it works. Web Application is handled by IIS Express which I guess is the problem.

Answer 1

It turned out that 7z.dll needs to be in temporary folder created by IIS. It can be accessed using via Assembly:

var assemblyDllPath = Path.Combine(Path.GetDirectoryName(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location), "7z.dll");

Using that we can copy original 7z.dll to the assembly directory and set SevenZipSharp library path like that:

File.Copy(originalDllPath, assemblyDllPath, overwrite: true);
SevenZipBase.SetLibraryPath(assemblyDllPath);

Note that overwrite is set to true. It is because sometimes assembly happens to be the same that one before.
