Unable to use 7z.exe from Playnite to install a game
I am on Local Library 1.7.0 and Playnite 10.37 so I am not sure if this is the same [issue here ](https://github.com/azuravian/playnite-LocalLibrary/issues/4)but it sounds very similar.
I selected the `7z.exe` program (in C:\Program Files\7-Zip\) in the Unarchiver options for compressed files.
When attempting to install, I select the folder and UAC pops up wanting admin permissions. Once granted I see a command window blip by then Playnite stays the install failed.
I duplicated the command shown in the UAC alert in a non-admin command prompt and it completes without an issue.
```
c:\Users\char>"C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe" x -o"C:\Games\Starwhal" "M:\Games\Microsoft Windows\Starwhal\Starwhal.7z"

If I point LocalLibrary to `7zFM.exe` instead it opens the archive and I can manually extract it from the 7zip file manager and all goes well.
Just for a sanity check I ran Playnite as an admin and it has the same issue.
I also did not see anything related to LocalLibrary in the `extensions.log` besides the normal scanning.

I am confused as to why it would pop up UAC at all when I don't need admin rights normally to run the same command. I would prefer to not need it as one PC I intend to use LocalLibrary on won't be logged into an admin account.
