Installing Zephyr Developer error, could not spawn command 7z

Hi,

I'm attempting to install Zephyr Developer via MCUXpresso Installer. I'm getting two errors.

[error] Could not spawn command 7z
[error] Command 7z exited with code spawn 7z ENOENT.

I have 7z installed, version 24.09. So it's not clear to me at the moment what my issue is. Any insight might be helpful. Thank you.

7zip was not in my user environment variables. However, now it is, and I still have the same errors in MCUXpresso Installer.

set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Program Files\7-Zip\

I manually put in the string for executing into my command prompt. That worked. Then I refreshed MCUXpresso and now it shows as installed.

Fixed, but strange.
