OK... some things to report(remember, running Vista Home Premium w/ latest SP1):

1. The context menu had really been flummoxed-- as well entries like Run as Admin were gone, even for .msi... HOWEVER-- the context menu was unchanged / undamaged for SHORTCUTS of extensions in question: exe / zip / msi / etc. BUTTTT..... selecting those commands ie running a shortcut of an msi file as Admin, etc. resulted in "no action occurring"... i see this is as a frequently-mentioned problem in Vista web-wide BTW.

2. I fixed everything(after trying numerous expected fixes-- registry(added Run as Admin to context of each extension...to no avail...etc.), uninstall/reinstall, etc.-- here's how:

A. Simultaneously uninstalled: 7-z, 7zip, AlZip, IzArc, PeaZip, TugZip, Universal Extractor (sorry but have very little disposable time these days to post here, let alone experiment one app at a time).

B. Removed from context menu all leftover entries re those apps(used the module from Glary Utilities) EXCEPT for those of Universal Extractor, 7zip & ZipInstaller.

C. Re-installed latest versions of(with all file associations DEselected BUT all context menu entries selected in all of them): Universal Extractor(1.6 BETA), 7zip, IzArc... plus re-enabled context option in ZipInstaller.

Everything back to normal(even things like Run as Admin) except:

D. IzArc context entries will not appear in context menu.

E. Having not associated .zip with any particular app, double-clicking such a file opens up Universal Extractor.

4. Conclusion(s)???? Draw your own.... it was either:

F. One of the permanently-removed apps was the culprit.. especially since i now seem to remember some such context issues on other systems from years ago: win98, winXP. ORRRRR:

G. The sheer number of context entries(I run at high-resolution on a large monitor, and even then the context menu scrolled off the top and bottom). BTW, yes, was still able to access any entry thru the scroll arrows.

H. LAST BUT NOT LEAST: Universal Extractor is to be held blameless here.

Good Luck all.

QUOTE (horsecharles @ Nov 23 2007, 12:47 PM) Nitro, I'm gonna cross-post here-- serves to bump up this thread as well...

Context menu entries for Universal Extractor have disappeared(for .zip, .msi & .exe), on Vista Home Premium Sp1(btw no such issues on Win XP SP3). I've tried reinstalling, w/ all possible context entries enabled and .zip associated w/ it, of course-- to no avail. Send To shortcut remains in place.
horsecharles, have you had any luck resolving this? I don't have access to a Vista system, so I'm pretty limited in what I can do to troubleshoot here. However, if you did find a solution, I think it'd be nice to post it here so that anyone having a similar issue can benefit.

Near as i can tell... i attribute it to one of Vista's many improv-- err arbritrary, capricious, useless, undocumented changes:

it has to do mainly with the setting to list zip files as folders... this not only affects zip files, but exe and other file types as well.

Where's what happens when one right-clicks an exe, zip, etc. file(mind you, with just about all zip/extract utilities-- i have @ 10 installed)... EITHER OR(assuming of course, that ALL possible context menu extensions have been enabled in each utility) in order of highest probability:

1. All context entries disappear save for app name w/ a toggle arrow that when clicked reveals context menu entries for that app(though usually only a few, not all). This is the scenario for the majority.

2. And the case with Uni-- all context entries totally gone.

3. For one or two apps-- most context entries disappear, but a couple remain.

HOWEVER.... if in windows explorer-- in the left Folders pane-- when folder contents are expanded with zip files listed there as well... IF you then right-click a file 'in there only' all context entries appear as originally upon install... click 'that same file' in the right side Folder Contents and you will NOT get those context entries. Mind you that the only extension listed in folder pane would be zip .

Add ExtractNow & UPX to the context entries manually removed(these apps were NOT uninstalled though).

Is it possible for the developer to add support for .DAA (Poweriso) files.

http://aluigi.alterv...olz/daa2iso.zip

There is this daa2iso converter that can convert DAA file to ISO. I assume that Universal Extractor can then unpack the ISO file.

[Hanschke]

any news about the 1.6?

[ladiko]

maybe u can release it as beta or rc and we can test it for you

I'm planning on releasing an RC version of some sort. Want to make sure I didn't overlook or just plain forget about anything in the long periods of time between work on this.

There is a way forward. You may not be able to redistribute certain free unpackers, but the end-user can legitimately obtain such unpackers and add them to the Univeral Extractor\bin\ directory. Universal Extractor could detect the presence of these user-supplied unpackers, and then offer the appropriate upgraded functionality. The installer for Universal Extractor could leave behind a text file offering instructions on how to obtain the optional extras for the \bin\ directory.

I've thought about doing exactly this before. I probably add this kind of support at some point, but it's not a priority for me for this release.

This file is wrongly detected as Installshield ( http://download.winz...m/wzcline22.exe ), it can be simply extracted with WinRAR.

TrID has a problem with InstallShield false positives. I've worked around this in 1.6.

The file "TrIDDefs.TRD" of universal extractor is taken from TrIDs site unmodified or is it modified?

It's very modified. I'd recommend against replacing it with a newer version from the TrID website.

<SNIP>
There is this daa2iso converter that can convert DAA file to ISO. I assume that Universal Extractor can then unpack the ISO file.

I'll look into it. I need test .daa files to work with, though. Any place I can download a couple of them?

[geezery]

I don't have any sample files online, but I hope this link can help you to identify DAA files.

Thanks, I'll check it out.

There seems to be something broken in the 1.6 beta (I think the log says it's related with the 7zip).

I lent a USB pen to a friend and it returned with a nasty virus that screws low level information of partitions. I have used some tools from HDDGuru.com to erase/format the pen (because Windows can't even mount it or format it). They are stanalone .exe files but are only available in setups so here comes UniExtract to the rescue. Strange thing is 1.6 failed and 1.5 succeeded (even if using the same version of 7z.exe and 7z.dll)...

http://hddguru.com/content/en/software/200...-HDD-Wipe-Tool/
http://hddguru.com/content/en/software/200...el-Format-Tool/

P.S: I also have some suggestions:

1- How about LesMSIerables for MSI extraction (seems to do the job without the dummy installation... but requires .NET 1... but it comes with the source). I couldn't find it online anymore... Here's an upload:
http://dodownload.filefront.com/10498867//...ef1147c497d3cb2

Or as an alternative (the unpakers seem to work fine):
http://www.jsware.ne...re/msicode.php3

2- IAT can supposedlly convert BIN, MDF, PDI, CDI, NRG, and B5I into ISO-9660 (I wasn't abble to use it though...)
http://iat.berlios.de/

3- I agree with DAA2ISO. Add UIF2ISO to the list:
http://aluigi.alterv...olz/uif2iso.zip

I couldn't find any free (small) tool to convert CCD2ISO or IMG2ISO (I did find a page with link to convert any images to ISO... but for Linux... some of these xxx2ISO projects are also available for Windows even if in different webpages):
http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion.

Thx for french translation

[Twisten]

been playing with it a bit, when i try compiled the installer package i get an error because InitializeWizard is defined both in clihelp iss and the uniextract iss , could you tell me the proper way to handle this error ?


btw, i haven't searched hard to see if it was mentioned, but thought it worth mentioning just in case innounp.exe in 1.6 beta isn't the latest version (i.e. it has problems extracting uniextract16beta.exe which 0.2 final handles fine)

[radix]

Can you add nrg2iso too?

Thanks.

Will there be any more development on this? It is probably one of the better and more useful tools I have ever used.
