unzip file using 7z in powershell
This finally worked for me sz x -o$destinationUnzipPath $zipfilePath -r ;
I didn't want to use aliases, functions or Start-Process
. After a little looking around the web, I've found this gem (and I can't remember where):
& ${env:ProgramFiles}\7-Zip\7z.exe x $zipfilePath "-o$($destinationUnzipPath)" -y
And you can add a > $null
at the end if you don't want to see 7z's messages!
With 7zip PowerShell module, now it is hassle free
