• @Pacerier - you lot can't do it in 1 stride using vii-nil, since you're unpacking two filetypes: gzip and tarball. If you can use Linux, command line allows one footstep: tar xvfz somefilename.tar.gz. Otherwise bank check out these answers

If y'all can, you can always utilize bash for windows and just practice the regular

                                  tar -xvzf <filename.tar.gz>

With a latest Windows x (1803+, or ten.0.17063+ for insiders) you tin unpack a tar archive just like you do it in linux:

              cmd.exe -> tar xf archive.tar.gz

vii-zip should work for you. I believe you have to untar the .tar role of the file as a second step later unzipping the .gz role.

You also may need to check your 7-zip settings...

• Click Tools → Options
• Go to the "Organisation" tab.
• Make sure "tar" and "gz" are checked off.

I use uncomplicated WinRAR extractor to extract .tar.gz file; but exercise these steps,

1. Starting time extracting the .tar.gz file with WinRAR, it volition generate an Intermediate file.
2. Rename that intermediate file as ".tar" and extract it again with WinRAR.

Now 2d time it will excerpt your all files/folders.

• This should be the accepted answer IMHO. Windows users who are likely accustomed to WinZip are probable to detect WinRAR very intuitive to use.

The vii-zilch package comes with a command-line tool called 7z.exe that tin can pipe to and from stdin (-si) & stdout (-so). And then the following line will do the extractraction in one step with no intermediary file (-ttar tells 7-zip that nosotros're piping in a tar stream).

                PATH_TO_7ZIP\7z.exe 10 netlib-0.13.1.tar.gz -then | PATH_TO_7ZIP\7z.exe x -si -ttar

• Nice ane! Simple and no temp files!

The trouble is that when seven-zip uncompresses the tar file into a subdirectory, you have to get into the subdirectory in order to uncompress the tar file.

If you've tried to uncompress the subdirectory, it won't piece of work of course.

At that place are two solutions here:

1. Use 'excerpt here', not 'Extract files...'.
2. Go into the subdirectory and extract from there.

Install full commander, information technology will deal with tar.gz files. You can just go inside such kind of file and re-create it to the place you need. Extraction is done by TC in the background.

• could you link the download link and elaborate the usage?

Paul has it correct, but in this case it's a ii-pace process. Start to remove the .gz(decompress the files) and second to remove the .tar(unpack the files).

• Could you tell the states how to exercise those steps?

  Aug 21, 2015 at nineteen:eleven

• first you'll need vii-zip... seven-cypher.org I like to create a folder to place the .tar.gz file into prior to unzipping. Correct-click on the file and hover over seven-nix, select "Extract Here" to remove the .gz. - at present do the same for the newly created .tar file.
