If you are trying to make a bootable pen drive using Unetbootin and it gives you above error.
Now because of this error you are not able to make bootable pen drive, here is the solution for you.

If you are using debian or ubuntu
Install from command line
# sudo apt-get install p7zip
OR
If you are still getting the problem
Go to this link and download the p7zip according to your configuration.

Here you can download the deb file.

Now install it and try to make bootable pen drive again.

You will not get this error.

NOTE : If your machine is 32 bit machine, download i386, if you are using amd 64 bit, download amd64 version.

You can find these links at bottom of the page.

If you are using CentOS or Fedora
Install from command line
# sudo yum -y install p7zip
