Can't extract an EXE file with UE 1.6

Hi,

I try to extract with UniExtract 1.6 the following EXE archive without success:

http://tinyurl.com/ygpmwnk

Click on Accept at the bottom of the page to download the file.

It is a Ralink Wi-Fi driver compacted with InstallShield 12.0.58849.

If I run the file, I obtain in the %Temp% directory a data1.cab file (but not data2.cab !) and I can't extract it with the other tools as I do usually for CAB files.

Any idea ?

Thanks you very much for your great software !

Julien

Hi, Julien. Two things:

1. InstallShield 12.x cabinet files are, unfortunately, not supported. There are are no freely-redistributable utilities that can unpack that format. There is a utility provided by InstallShield that can do it (I forget the name), but you're not legally allowed to use it unless you own InstallShield itself.

2. In the future, please post direct links to example files or other URLs. I do not click on any links that hide the destination. Thanks.
