OIC have uniextract dettect and mod the msi on the fly
Great Idea... But I think hard to implement

Yeah, agreed. I'll check it out and see if there's anything I can do, but this will be a low-priority request.

Inno has released a new installer and extraction fails with files created by it.

Oh, now that's just mean. I was actually on thier site earlier today to verify that I was using the latest version before creating the final 1.5 package, and only 5.1.9 was available at that time.

Oh well. I've already packaged up 1.5 at this point, and will not be making any more changes. Right now I'm just updating some documentation in preparation for the release. The Inno Setup issue will have to wait until 1.5.1.

Thanks for letting me know about it, though.

Yeah, just hadn't yet had a chance to announce it here. Thanks for stealing my thunder.

I'm going to update the first post with new download links and a copy of the changelog for this release. In the meantime, you can find out more information about the new features available in Universal Extractor 1.5 from this post on my website, and download it or view the complete changelog from UniExtract's home page.

As usual, feedback is welcome.

Hi nitro323,

Thanks for Universal Extractor. I use it now on regular base to extract most of my archives. I have requested several times some exe-unpackers, but I understand Universal Extractor is not ment to deal with these files anyway. I have switched to Quick Unpack for unpacking exe's now. For everything else Universal Extractor is what I use.

Hi, nitro

I unpacked two inno setup, and a messagebox appeared with no text and "Test" for title. Maybe you forgot to comment that lines of code?

Besides that, unpacking works.

Dang. I'll check it out later today. Thanks for letting me know.

I'm using ur great tool since first release - awesome!

Tonight I installed v1.5 and since then Microsoft Hotfix CAB archives are treated as 7zip files and only _sfx_xxxx._p files come outta there.
Hope you can fix this soon. So long I'm back to 1.42.

Edit:
Umm, was a bit hastily. It's only WINDOWSXP-KB925876-X86-DEU.EXE that's extracted like 7zip.

Ok, so just to confirm, the patch you linked to is the ONLY one that behaves this way, correct? All others are extracted as they should be?

Tried some other hotfixes.
WindowsXP-KB931836-x86-DEU, WindowsXP-KB918118-x86-DEU, WindowsXP-KB924667-x86-DEU, WindowsXP-KB926436-x86-DEU, WindowsXP-KB927779-x86-DEU, WindowsXP-KB928090-x86-DEU and many others are treated as 7z files.

at the moment I can't see the reason why uniextract doesn't recognize them as ms cab archives.
I was confused because some hotfixes like KB905474 were correct extracted BUT this also works with 7zip 4.44.
In uniextract 1.42 there was always a massage like "extracting MS CAB hotfix archive..." in the cmd box, now it say "extracting 7zip..."

plz delete, doublepost. sorry

Universal Extractor doesn't recognize them as MS Cab Archives because TrID isn't reporting them as such. I just updated the TrID definition for that filetype. Please try downloading this file and extracting it to the bin\ directory of your UniExtract installation:

TrIDDefs.rar

This file contains the updated definition. You'll want to replace the existing TrIDDefs.TRD in the bin\ directory.

Let me know if that works for you, please.

Also, if anyone else discovers a similar issue, please report it here, along with a download link to the specific file. I can use scan those files to add support for them (and similar files) to figure versions of UniExtract.

Working great for me! Thanks for this awesome program and update nitro322!!!

[Surfer]

My thought - autoupdate triddefs from UniExtractor

[chris.b]

The definitions are working fine here! Thanx

I saw in the Todo list that you need a Spanish translator. I can help you with that. What do I have to do?

Actually, that's already been taken care of. There was some miscommunication, but it's been worked out now, and I just forgot to take that line out of the todo file.

Thanks for the offer, though.

would anyone be interested in a portable version of uniextract?

i thought it would be great if it can be made portable and run from any usb device on any pc... if you guys interested, i'll make one and probably contact Jared Breland regarding this...

The program was already a sort of portable type, you simply needed the installation directory to run the program. But since ver 1.5 involves context menu, so may be it needs installing. Otherwise it is usable from portable device as stand alone programe (if you wish you can upx all the sources to further reduce the size).

btw, nitro322, it was requested almost a year back, can we see cascaded shell menu extension?

[phkninja]

clavicle- if you can find a method of programming a cascading menu using open source tools and libraries then suggest it. Many people have requested it but no one has give a suggestion other than using ATL, a Microsoft library. This is why i think it hasn't been added yet

[chris.b]

nitro, many people will be happy if you would update the installation package with the corrected TrID Definitions.
