New Application - Universal Extractor

For Installshield your implementation of i6comp doesn't consider a bug of i6comp. I6comp fails with certain CAB-archives and doesn't extract all files of the archive. For example: Logitech last drivers version 8.4x. The folder "Appinst" contains a data1.cab from which i6comp fails to extract files like "camcpl.cpl" and many more. The only way I identified to work around that problem (because I don't have the time to correct the source code of i6comp) is to use the "l" (list) command and extract every single file using this text-list in a selfwritten batch).

PS: Universal Extractor is a nice program ...

It has some problem recognizing archive formats. If you take a selfextracting format like Winzip (take the Winzip-Setup-Program itself, for example) Universal Extractor aborts with a "Filetype returned was: Nothing found [Overlay] *". The archive is recognized by all other programs like Winzip itself or Winrar.

matidio, could you please contact me via e-mail? I'm looking into this problem now, and would appreciate your assistance.

My e-mail address is jbreland@legroom.net. Thanks.

This is because of the method I'm using to analyze the files and determine the type. UniExtract doesn't actually do any of this itself; instead, it uses PEiD.exe to analyze the file, and takes action based on its output. If PEiD.exe returns "Nothing found [Overlay]" (as in your specific example), then UniExtract doesn't know how to handle it.

If you know of a better method of determining the filetype of these "unknown" executables, please let me know. I'll do what I can to include it in UniExtract. Please contact me via e-mail, though. I included my e-mail address in my reply to your last comment.

Thanks.

With Universal Error v1.1 I get following Error:
Autoit Error
Line 0 (File"C:\...\Uniextract.exe)

I have tried it with AutoitDLL.dll already, but

To those whoe reported problems with v1.1: I've fixed the error and uploaded new versions. Please redownload v1.1 for the fix.

Thanks for the bug reports. You can also e-mail them to me; my e-mail address is located in the footer of this website. I tend to check my e-mail much more often than the website comments.
