Universal Extractor 1.6 incorrectly identifies self extracting disk image files (.imz) as 7z archives adding the following to check7z() corrects the issue and allows these files to be expanded.

Thanks for the report and code. However, I don't have any .imz files to test and validate this. Can you (or anyone else) please provide a couple examples?

U.E. 1.6.1 can extract files from .imz and .ima image files, but can't extract files from winimage sfx archives (upx compressed).
I've uploaded an example:

Extracting nsis-2.46-setup.exe by UniExtract 1.6.1 legroom (New) the extraction fail it shows jung charecter but gora 1.6.2.8 Extract clean and clear.
7-Zip 9.13 also extract clean and clear.
In legroom UniExtract 1.6.1 changelog.txt shows several added support for brute force,environmental variables etc.
The registry of legroom UniExtract 1.6.1 is also very bulky.Two extra i.e; EXTRACT_FILES,EXTRACT_HERE command are occasionally needed may be removed.

It works for me. I did notice a potential problem, though. As mentioned in the changelog, I now have 7-zip try extracting files last, as recent versions can incorrectly unpack some .exe files that other utilities correctly unpack. A side-effect is that Install Explorer is used to extract NSIS files by default now rather than 7-zip. InstExpl can better support NSIS 1.x files, but 7-zip, from what I've seen, better supports newer NSIS 2.x files. I'll need to shuffle some things around again to make 7-zip default for NSIS without affecting other file types. Will add to my todo file.

I don't know what you mean by this. Can you please clarify?

I think I caught a bug in UniExtract 1.6.1.
When extracting Firefox 3.6.3 Installer, it used to extract correctly as a 7-zip package in 1.6
But in 1.6.1, it extracts as a FEAD package, which is incorrect.

Didn't check this project for a long while... Glad to see a new version (I feared it was abandoned).

Just to say NSIS extraction also fails for me... 1.6.1 beta1 works fine tough (the bug seems to have been introduced in beta2).

Running a Win7 x64 (don't know if it matters).

I have some more suggestions:

AspackDie could be replaced or complemented with Anti-ASPack - http://www.woodmann....ers/Antiasp.zip
BareBones OOZ could be replaced or complemented with UnZoo - http://archives.math.../util/unzoo.exe

This is a freely redistributable unpacker for PECompact: http://ap0x.jezgra.n.../RL!dePeCompact 2.x.rar

UnUHARC should be removed, as you have stated that a legitimate source cannot be found.

Your program cannot extract installers created with JGSoft DeployMaster (http://www.deploymaster.com)
When I extract one, it just creates a file called [~0].
I have zipped up two sample installers of this type here: http://www.mediafire.com/?yyfzjzn1vey
(The first one is their installer, made using their product, and the second one is a sample made by me)

Support is there, but it's not detecting the file properly. It's trying to unpack it as a FEAD file, same as the other commenter posted about the Firefox installer. This is another consequence of shuffling around 7-Zip.

I'm always up for checking out newer/better alternatives. Thanks for the links.

I can't find a legit download source now, but the binaries themselves, best I can tell, are freely redistributable. As a result, there shouldn't be a problem keeping them included.

That's 7-Zip's new generic .exe resource extraction at work. It doesn't seem to work all that well, though, and it's definitely causing me other problems with file type detection and extraction order, as discussed previously. You might be able to extract files from the 0 file by renaming it to include a few different extensions (0.exe, 0.cab, etc.) and running UniExtract on i. I have seen that work once before, but mostly not.

Thanks for the installer examples. I'll add them to the list to check out.

[amritlohia]

I renamed the [0] file to 0.exe, and ran uniextract on it.
The result was just some files with the names .idata, .rdata and some others.

Hi All...

When I use Universal Extractor 1.6.1 to extract the contents of an installer downloaded from,

http://sourceforge.n...41.exe/download

the folders have funny names and some files are missing. But when I rename it to a zip file
I can extract it correctly with 7-zip 9.13 beta.

I did not have this problem with the previous version of Universal Extractor.

Thanks,

...Karl

[amritlohia]

Update: Please disregard Anti-AsPack. I tested it and it won't launch.
The error given is 'The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000142). Click OK to close the application'.

Also disregard RL!dePeCompact2.x - It's a GUI app, so you won't be able to integrate it into UniExtract.
I also found another unpacker, but it's GUI and crashes on my test PeCompact file, which unpacked successfuly with
RL!dePeCompact2.x

Due to lack of response by nitro322, I integrated my changes into the code, and ...

I present UniExtract 1.6.1.1 UNOFFICIAL BUILD.

DISCLAIMER - This is NOT an OFFICIAL BUILD by nitro. It has only BEEN TESTED on MY SYSTEM, and I have a far from normal setup.

The changelog is as follows:

1.6.1.1 - UNOFFICIAL (06/06/2010)
  Fixed support for Firefox installer - removed one FEAD signature from PEID database
  Removed MSI TC Packer plugin
  Updated 7-zip to version 9.14
  Changed zoo archive extractor - unzoo instead of barebones ooz

Note: although the fead signature removal fixes support greatly, it may break FEAD support. If you find a problem, please report it here.

@radix and frmariam - I tested with my build, and they work now. This is a direct consequence of removing that FEAD signature mentioned above.

@KarlM - This has been fixed in my build (see above for more details)

@jsp - I'm not sure what you mean by this, but please retest with my build and report the results.

The archive is uploaded at http://www.mediafire.com/?ggjtikoqdzx.
Just extract it, and replace the UniExtract.exe in the uniextract directory.

Two bugs
1) http://downloads.xip...17220-win32.exe
Incorrect extraction, 7-zip can open and extract it correctly.
2) http://rghost.net/1827720

One file extracted twice. Files are identical (MD5 checked).
Is this bug of innounp ?

Thanks.

I see it often, even with 'pure' innounp. I think that's a 'feature' of Inno Setup - files ,1 and ,2 are sometimes different, I think when they're destined for different operating systems - unicode and ANSI versions maybe? They're supposed to be renamed without the comma for the OS you're installing it on. I'm pretty sure I've seen that on installs destined both for Win9X and NT*.*, but it was quite some time ago. But most of the time they're identical.

@Surfer - your first file extracts correctly in my unofficial build (see previous post), as a 7-zip package. This as I changed 7-zip so it comes before Installexplorer.
- your second file - confirmed, I have no idea why, though.

@GrofLugi - I think you might be right, but the only way to find out is to contact the developers of the installation maker they used.

Oh, by the way, I made a new build, 1.6.1.2. The only change was moving 7-zip before InstallExplorer. Surfer, please download the it, and retest.
The link is: http://www.mediafire.com/?nmuzgtb32yy. Just extract it, and replace it as UniExtract.exe in the uniextract folder.

Update: I forgot to update 7-zip. Please download 7-zip 9.14 from their website, and replace it in the uniextract bin directory.

I ran Universal Extractor earlier against an Inno Setup file and it failed to extract. Copying the latest Inno Unpacker to the Bin folder solved the problem so you may want to check for updates of that app.

Please test with my unofficial build 1.6.1.2 (see previous post). I checked and InnoUnp is still at 0.31, which is the same version included in UniExtract.

That seems to have it. I guess I just fell behind in the updates to Universal Extractor and it's all my fault.

Thanks a million and I hope development on this project doesn't come to a grinding halt again, it's been a very handy tool and gets constant use on my systems.

[GrofLuigi]

This is unpacked incorrectly (some .jpegs are truncated).

Verified with install VS unpack.

UE 1.6.1 says it's NullSoft Installer installer.

It's using Install Explorer. Previously, with whatever unpacked NSIS, it was OK.
