When I run as administrator or not it starts the extracting window and when it is almost complete I see the message 7-Zip This program is blocked by group policy. Several posts already here suggest going to to get the full download but at least the English US version for windows is NOT a 'full' exe version. )įor me 7-zip is blocked by group policy (which I can not control) and I want to find a full exe that doesn't extract using 7zip. Maybe they don't like open source software.

Hope this anwsers you questions of why it is not supported by our organization.ĭoes your IT know about this problem and have any suggestions? There must be a lot of open source software that uses the 7zSD 'self extracting executable' (SFX) utility.

Therefore we cannot set the home page, and other behaviors controlled by the IT organization. With any basic secuirty controlls in place no organization should allow a self-extracting archive on thier network because it leaves the organization open to security threats.Ģ) FireFox currently does not support applying group policy to its browser. We are completly aware of the limitations of FireFox.Īs an IT organization we do not support FireFox.ġ) The FireFox installation is packaged in a self-extracting archive (Which we block for security purposes) - in order to prevent the transmission of malicious programs. Maybe they don't like open source software. -) Does your IT know about this problem and have any suggestions?
