Universal Extractor

I'm using the Universal Extractor to unpack an "installer". It runs the 7z unpacker which leaves me with a tree full of small files, and a large file "CABINET" under ".rsrc\1033\RCDATA\" which contains the bulk of what I'm aiming for.

I want to further unpack this "CABINET" file which I highly suspect has more garbage in it (a visual dump leaves me very suspicious). Unfortunately, UE doesn't recognize the file and won't unpack it. It doesn't appear to be a real MS .CAB file. The first four bytes of the file are 0x14, 0x12, 0xab, 0x55. There is no "CAB" signature at the beginning of the file.

I haven't been able to identify what type of "cabinet" file this is. Can somebody please give me a suggestion on how I might identify and further unpack it?

Any help would be appreciated!

I have good news as well as bad news about one particular format, ZOO. BooZ does not launch on 64-bit systems, returning an error instead about "requiring a 64-bit version". Most other ZOO programs have the same problem. However, after much Google searching, I have found a viable alternative at http://archives.math.utk.edu/software/multi-platform/gap/util/ , which, although I have not fully tested it, seems to work fine on my 64-bit computer.

I developed an application in C#.net platform and made its setup.exe file using windows installer in visual studio 2008.
Now I want to make Portable version of my application, so that i can use it without installation on PC.
I tried universal installer for this but didn,t get the results.
The message appeared was:
setup.exe could not be extracted.
It appears to be a(n) InstallShield installer, which is supported, but extraction failed.

so, can i get help in this regard.

would be thankful.

I am Using Universal Extracter for Long time
and i always Lookup for its update. After a Longtime
when Universal Extracter 1.6.1 was Released i
was Vary Happy and Downloded it, but it has a Problem
when i extract a file compressed with upx it extracts the
files as garbage data & i think it is due to the new
version of 7-zip which is included please Fix this problem.

I have a sujjestion for the problem that you can make
universal extracter to first of all try to extract a exe file
as upx compressed then try it with 7-zip.

I can not unpack the file

is there any chance for a Setup Factory 8.1 unpacker ?
or should we get used to 'can't do' idea ?

I manually tried updating PEiD to version 0.95, but it seems to me that UE isn't able to use the new version. It hangs at "Scanning file with deep scan.".
