WinMerge and 7Zip - need DLL

R

Hi,

I got both WinMerge and 7-Zip a while ago (independently). I just now
tried to use WinMerge and it reported that I needed a DLL for 7-Zip:

7-Zip version installed: 4.65; DLL missing: Merge7z465U.dll
7-Zip version recommend: 4.57; DLL missing: Merge7z457U.dll

I Googled the 'Net and couldn't find either DLL. Any idea how I can
find either of them, preferably the one needed for my installed
version of 7-Zip.

Thanks in Advance,
Richard

P.S.:
I forgot to mention that I tried the Plugin Download link
http://sourceforge.net/projects/winmerge/files/3. 7-Zip plugin/
provided by WinMerger which listed a bunch of &-Zip DLLs, but I
couldn't find any version name like the two I allegedly require.

Did I miss something on this list?

Thanks again in Advance,
Richard

PPS:

I just realized that WinMerge difference between two files is working
fine, which is my immediate concern. Apparently the missing DLL
negatively impacts some WinMerge features, but not all.

http://www.freewarefree.net/search/merge7z457u+dll

SourceForge.net: WinMerge: Detail: 2741085 - 7zip support is a year ...

Renaming the files for 457 seems to work with 4.65 Merge7z457U.dll to
Merge7z465U.dll

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2741085&group_id=13216&atid=213216

===================

You might want to look at this too, there's a 457 in the filename anyway:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/winmerge/files/3. 7-Zip plugin/

Thanks, Mike. I'm filing this until I complete my current programming
task using WinMerge, which I belatedly discovered works without fixing
the 7-zip DLL.

Best wishes,
Richard
