How to Install 7zip in Windows 7

Windows comes with a default Archiving tool. But then for several reasons like

• Open source alternative
• split files by size 
• encryption

We need a different software. Currently I feel 7zip is the best out there. So how do we go about installing 7zip in Windows 7.

• First we need to visit http://www.7-zip.org/download.html to download the 7zip installer for Windows 7. Choose the msi installer.
• Run the Installer.
• Click on Next
• Accept the Terms and conditions and click on next
• Click on Next
• Click on Install
• Click on Yes
• Now 7zip is installed and ready for use.
