  5. @3

    Don't blame us, the retarded one is the xpadder dev, attempting to charge for it after making it free.

    And my "free" 5.7 version, freely available on the net, is doing just fine.

    All files are corrupted, who knows what is the origin of this post.

  6. Seems this archive is damaged on purpose, first 5 bytes are zeroed.
    But header is generic for all 7z files, so can be copied from any other 7zip file ... ie. the file can be easily repaired and extracted.

  7. You are right, this file can be fixed with a hex editor.
