ricktendo Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 (edited) Universal Extractor v1.5 by Jared (aka nitro322)MD5: 3C0EFCF89267CD1D376021D5B34CE180Size: 4.75 MBWebsite: http://www.legroom.net/modules.php?op=modl...;app=uniextractForum: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=62418&st=0I was inspired by ZoSTeR's Universal Silent Switch Finder, so I wrote an application to do something I've wanted for quite a long time: an easy way to extract files from executable files, installation package, .msi files, etc.I often have a need to unpack other application packages, whether it's to get a file out of it and I don't feel like installing the full application, or I'm investigating how to perform a silent install, or whatever the case may be. In the past it's always resulted in some internet research and dropping to a command line to do it manually. Now, I just right-click and select Extract. :-) PEiD was the key to this, so thanks, ZoSTeR, for the idea.In the process, I also decided to add support for pretty much any archive/compression format I could think of. While this isn't overly helpful if you already own a good archiving utility such as WinRAR, I find it convenient to have a commone way of extracting everything. Also, since the package only uses freely redistributable components (mostly open source), it can be quite useful to send to somebody that needs to extract an odd file but doesn't have a supporting program.Well, I guess that should be enough exposition. :-) I'm posting this here bacause: * You people rock and have helped me out numerous times in the past * As I said, I got the idea from ZoSTeR, so wanted to give back to the community * I personally find this extremely useful for packaging, and various other tasks that this particular board is dedicated to. I think you will as well.Please view the Universal Extractor website for complete technical details, supported formats, and full source code. This is on a DSL connection, so please don't hammer it too hard. Edited February 22, 2007 by ricktendo64 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ricktendo Posted November 30, 2006 Author Share Posted November 30, 2006 Yea but this is a tricky addon... not everybody has the same archivers installed on their machine.Can you tell me what is your default archiver so I can customize it for you? (WinRAR, WinZIP or 7Zip) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricktendo Posted November 30, 2006 Author Share Posted November 30, 2006 Updated 1.4.2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrNxDmX Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Thanks for the update mate. :thumbsup: It seems I have misunderstood you. Why do you need to know which archiver i am using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricktendo Posted December 3, 2006 Author Share Posted December 3, 2006 Thanks for the update mate. :thumbsup: It seems I have misunderstood you. Why do you need to know which archiver i am using? So I can set that archiver as my default archiver so that Uniextractor can add the reg entries for that specific type of archive for the shell extension...You see theres a BIG difrence between the regentries for 7zip and WinRARExample for a .zip file winrar ref is like this Winrar.ZIPand for 7zip its like Zip.cpio or something...If i track and add those reg entries from 7zip and your reasosiate the zip files with winrar you will loose tha Right click extention to extract to subdir and other choices on the right click menu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ricktendo Posted May 17, 2007 Author Share Posted May 17, 2007 Kels does not have a addon of this progie, anyway this is a INF addon, most others are silent switch addons that use the original installer with silent switches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
