Unfortunately, I still haven't been able to find any utility capable of extracting NSIS installers. I can promise you that it will be included as soon as I do, though, as this is my number one todo item.

If anyone finds (or manages to write themselves) a utility that can do this, please let me know. I, and I'm sure a great many others, would be quite grateful. :-)

Hello Nitro,

I've just discover your application and would like to say that's really usefull.

Just one request,

I mainly use portable apps on an USB key so I do not install your app and don't have context menu.
So is it possible for you to allow drag an drop of file to extract in your extraction window in addition ?

Very nice job anyway.

Regards

that's what I needed too, a nsis decompressor!
add that, and you've got something really egg sell ant.

just drag and drop the file you wish to extract over UniExtract.exe (or a shortcut pointing to that) and it will automatically fill in the fields.

Hi DigeratiPrime,

Thanks for the tips, work fine, but it's not very easy to get the prog and the file to extract in the same directory to do it easily.

I mainly store my progs on an usb key and use pstart as program launcher, so I can drag an drop directly over the universal extractor shortcut, that's why I was asking.

Anyway it's not a big deal to go and get the prog to extract thru the UE interface.

Regards

Hi, XPect.

I'm currently working on an update, and I'll add this to my list of possible features. I'm not sure at this time if it'll be possible, but I'll certainly look into it.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I have a request for anyone reading this. I've added support for .iso files to the next version of Universal Extractor. I'd also like to add support for bin/cue images. Of course, extracting from these requires first converting to .iso.

I know of several programs that can do this under Windows, but there are two criteria that must be met: A) freely redistributable, and supports command line arguments for extraction. So far I've only been able to find one program that can do this: bin2iso. However, it won't convert my test .bin file (which I've verified is valid by converting with another GUI app).

Does anyone else know of a program that can do this, and meets the two above requirements? Thanks.

thank you very much this program is fabuluos!!!

Hello Nitro,

I don't know if this will help but Bin2Iso is based on the cue file, if you only have the bin, you must 1st recreate the cue or it won't work.
I've done a quick serch, but I haven't find other prog that allow command line.

Regards

I just released version 1.1 of Universal Extractor. Please see the original post for details and download links.

As usual, feedback is most welcome.

I have downloaded all 1.1 from first page and your site too, but I keep getting this error message:

Same here:

(This is when I run the shortcut in the programs menu)

Same error here.

Ditto for me, error confirmed.

Sorry guys. I'm not sure happened. I've been out of town for the last couple days, but I'm heading back home tonight and will fix the error.

Thanks for the reports.

Well, I figured out the problem. There's a bit of a story involved, but the summary is that I had compiled it with the stable version of AutoIt rather than the beta version. As of UniExtract 1.1, the beta version is required.

I've recompiled, retested, and reuploaded. Everything should work correctly now. Please let me know if you have any other issues.

Thanks.

Thanks nitro322!

It's working! :-)

I got it run'n on XP its great.

thanks nitro322 this and unlocker are one of my favorite utilities!

Seems that sometimes it has difficulties to recognize the archive format. If you take for example the original Trialversion for winzip 10 - a zipexe archive - UniversalExtracter responds with a message:

winzip100.exe cannot be extracted.
Filetype returned was: Nothing found [Overlay]

If you try to extract it with Winrar or 7-zip there are no problems. This problem existed since the first version of Universalextractor
