The new version of ComfyUI cannot be extracted using 7zip or any other extraction software today
The new version of ComfyUI cannot be extracted using 7zip or any other extraction software.
Not a lot of info to go on there. Likely the issue is on your end; I was able to download codebase directly from GitHub and extract with 7zip and core Windows 10 *.zip functionality. Latest release, and standalone build also extracted without issue.
Try downloading again, you potentially ended up with a corrupt file. Otherwise, let's try and include more details to figure this out.
Yep, that's a you problem. Extracts fine here using both 7zip and windows 10 built-in zip support.
To confirm the original fault here, I had the same problem. I have Windows 11, latest 7-zip and downloaded comfy from https://github.com/comfyanonymous/ComfyUI?tab=readme-ov-file#installing
- Windows Extract would start to slow as soon as it hit the long-named .pyc files
- 7zip did the same.
The solution for me was to right-click on the .7z file then go to properties. Near the bottom was a warning telling me the file "came from another computer". See the image I have included.
I clicked the "Unblock" tick box and clicked "OK".
Tried to extract again and it worked fine.
In the end, this isn't anything wrong with ComfyUI. This is going to be an issue for plenty of other compressed files from anywhere and, files in general for users with various security setups, OS versions, etc.
I feel bad for developers/communities that get the short end of the stick when users run into this common but simple to fix "issue".
I do too, and that's why nobody has blamed them for anything and why leaving your own solution might help reduce the support-request load for developers.
Random people might reach this thread and hopefully find their solution. Many of them might never have the time to say thanks but even if it helps one person it was worth doing.
The wonderful world of support - you only hear from customers when there's a problem but if you give them a solution they'll most often never bother to say thanks or leave anything positive when it's all running smoothly 👍
Thank you @greatBigMassive you're our hero! took me 30 minutes of search to find a solution.
I tried to extract the files and it was extreemly slow. After greatBigMassive fix it worked as a charm :-)

thank you soooo much!
Good old windows keeping us "safe". Thank you! Edit this wasnt the issue for me, it was the file length. Renamed it to just comfy and it worked, I presume moving it to C: root and then extracting would also be ok
