7zip ISO extraction

I have been trying to extract an ISO image through 7zip and WinRar.

Here is the command line that I used:

7z x -y "%Isocontents%\ISO.iso" -o%Newfolder%

WinRar.exe x -y -ow "%Isocontents%\ISO.iso" "%Newfolder%"

Entire project uses generic batch / 4NT scripting commands. The above commandline works perfectly when used locally but when run on the actual machine extraction is pretty partial.

This is really strange and I have no clue on what the reason could be.

While extracting it just says like there are only 2 files

readme.txt
bootable_noemulation.img

I am totally frustrated as this is totally not going per the logic.

Everyone using MacOS with this question, you can run this command to extract ISO's:

7zz x -tiso -y alpine-standard-3.15.0-aarch64.iso -oNewfolder

(used an Alpine ISO)

If you're trying to extract the files from an ISO to a directory then 7zip can do this:

7z x -y -oC:\OutputDirectory X:\VRMPVOL_EN.iso

If you're not using the same ISO file, it's possible that the other file is in UDF format. Check the readme.txt file which might have a note indicating such.

For 7z use the -t switch like this 7z x -tudf -y "%Isocontents%\ISO.iso" -o%Newfolder%
