  • Re: Setup the .arj archiver

    From Phil Taylor@21:1/242 to fusion on Tuesday, March 03, 2026 17:42:04
    On 24 Feb 2026, Phil Taylor said the following...

    I am trying to setup the arj archiver on Windows 10 but I am running accross a issue that it's telling me that the file can not be viewed.

    Can you please tell me what I have to fix here to fix it. I am using arj.exe and not arj32.exe

    Mystic Arj orginal Archive settings

    Û
    Û Active ³ Yes
    Û Extension ³ ARJ
    Û OS ³ All
    Û Description ³ ARJ32 ARJ Utilities
    Û Pack Cmd ³ arj a -e -y "%1" "%2"
    Û Unpack Cmd ³ arj e -e -y -w "%3" "%1" "%2"
    Û View Cmd ³

    it's probably something like

    arj l "%1"

    in the view command section.

    it looks like;

    %1 - archive filename
    %2 - file to pack, file to extract, etc
    %3 - destination dir (probably \mystic\temp<node>\)

    ~~~but~~~ the one example we do have for the view command looks like this: 7z l -y "%1" >> "%3$2"

    which looks an awful lot like it redirects 7z output to: \mystic\temp<node>\_filename it knows to display_

    so perhaps:

    arj l -y "%1" >> "%3%2"

    will also work. give it a shot?


    Is that to unarchive the file or to view the files? If not, can you please provide both commands lines?

    Thanks
    Phil Taylor

    You already have the command to unarchive the file above, Phil. He was giving you the answer to view the files. Now, please go back and try the example you were given, and put it in the "View Cmd" field.

    it's probably something like

    arj l "%1"

    in the view command section.

    Should this go in the view or in unpack?

    In the message of his that you quoted, he said right there "in the view comm section".. Also, I don't run Mystic, but in your earlier message, it showed there was nothing for the view command, so I'm guessing why that's why it sa an ARJ file can't be viewed.

    The following command to view files using arj did not work
