I did not test, shouldn't this work also, and avoid editing:
UniExtract\bin\7z.exe l

I never found a reason to have more than one installation. The only inconvenience
is worrying about ZTW.HST being saved by the last instance closed, but I have grown
used to it: I run green, black and blue sessions, and consider the black one as
the main and the last one to be Q'd.
As for hard/soft links, having worked a bit on *nix in a complicated environment,
I don't have the guts to touch them ever again :-).
