Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Drop-OSS/drop-app/issues/194

Fresh install. I added games in 7z packages to my drop server, worked everything perfectly. Installed drop-app on windows, and I can't download anything now. An error dialog appears when I press install:
Drop encountered an error while downloading your game: "io error: The system cannot find the file specified. (os error 3)"

I tried to install 7z, zip, rar and validated that it is working in cmd. Restarted drop-app and still not working.

Log files are empty completely, I have no idea now what is missing or what path is wrong.

Is there any way to enable debug logs?

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Fresh server install in docker, latest version.
  2. Add 7z compressed game
  3. Install drop-app v0.4.0 on windows and connect.
  4. Try to download game.

Expected behavior
I expect it to download the game.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

Known issue, and we have some fixes in the works for it.

As a workaround, games outside of 7z files should install fine.
