Hello Naushad,

Thank you for your message.

The error you are encountering is related to the 7-zip utility, which is running out of memory for some reason.

We recommend trying to adjust the 7-zip parameters (as shown in the screenshot below) to reduce memory usage. This might include lowering the compression level, changing the dictionary size, or using multi-threading options.

Kind regards,
Oleg
