how to unzip .7z file

[tntmom0103]

I have downloaded photosphop elements 12 and it is zipped using .7z.  When I double click on it, windows says it is unable to open the file.  How do I unzip this format?

Tntmom0103 where did you download the 7zip file from?  There should be an exe file you can download as well which will extract the contents and start the installer.

Hello,

in addition to Jeff's hint, here some links where you can download *.7z unpack helpers:

http://www.winzip.com/lan7z.htm

German website: http://www.7-zip.de/download.html

or use Google (unzip 7z file download)

Most of the modern file managers are able to unzip *.7z files too wihout additional costs.
