Changes
update to 9.10 beta
"Use the "/S" parameter to do a silent installation and the "/D=dir" parameter to specify the "output directory". These options are case-sensitive. 7-Zip uses the NSIS installer by Nullsoft." - http://www.7-zip.org/faq.html
== 7-ZIP 9.07 10 (beta) for 32bit and 64bit hosts == Here an example to install the newer 9.07 beta version of 7-Zip. The GID has changed, so using the msi method for the removal is maybe the best.
