7zip ISO extraction

iso 7zip winrar

I have been trying to extract an ISO image through 7zip and WinRar.

Here is the command line that I used:

7z x -y "%Isocontents%\ISO.iso" -o%Newfolder%

WinRar.exe x -y -ow "%Isocontents%\ISO.iso" "%Newfolder%"

Entire project uses generic batch / 4NT scripting commands. The above commandline works perfectly when used locally but when run on the actual machine extraction is pretty partial.

This is really strange and I have no clue on what the reason could be.

While extracting it just says like there are only 2 files

readme.txt
bootable_noemulation.img

I am totally frustrated as this is totally not going per the logic.

Please let me know if I'm missing out something. Spent so much time on this before writing !!

Thanks !!

If you're not using the same ISO file, it's possible that the other file is in UDF format. Check the readme.txt file which might have a note indicating such.

For 7z use the -t switch like this 7z x -tudf -y "%Isocontents%\ISO.iso" -o%Newfolder%
