Can't find 7zip.exe on fresh Julia 1.3.0 install

[NicholasWMRitchie]

PackageCompiler fails to build on Windows 10. The system already has 7Zip installed (in C:\Program Files\7-Zip) but 7zip.exe is missing from "C:\Users\nicho\AppData\Local\Julia-1.3.0\bin" where the build expects it. Placing a copy of 7zip.exe in "C:\Users\nicho\AppData\Local\Julia-1.3.0\bin" allows the build to complete.

What should be done to fix this? @staticfloat suggests a solution like this:

searchpath = ENV["PATH"]
if isdefined(Base, :LIBEXECDIR)
	sepchar = Sys.iswindows() ? ";" : ":"
	searchpath = string(joinpath(Sys.BINDIR, Base.LIBEXECDIR), sepchar, searchpath)
end
7z_path = withenv("PATH" => searchpath) do
	Sys.which(`7z`)
end
run(`\$7z_path ...`)

I have the same problem and the code doesn't work. I also try to update to WinRPM 0.4.3 but I can't because it doesn't work with BinDeps.

You should try the latest PackageCompiler. Try updating PackageCompiler, it will update WinRPM automatically.

Doesn't work either:

[aminya]

It says for BinDeps that:

─restricted to versions 0.8.10 by an explicit requirement, leaving only versions 0.8.10

What is imposing this requirement?
