Thanks for your comments Nitro. I will install again the latest v1.6beta, put it in a custom location folder. That leaves the v1.5 installed and working, until v1.6 is ok. Sure i will get you the urls, to the files you need to test with. XAD, XFD, XPK are Amiga unpackers of many formats on that os. They are similar to Universal extract in useage. And i love each and every one of them. I like to have access and unpack ability for any installer or packed file, no matter what it is. I hope there could never be an installer or packer, that could never be extracted. Is there a way to link Universal Extractor into virus checkers, spy, add and other malware tools in future this would be a bonus. It would that be great for those tools to intergrate with Universal Extractor on the fly. If possible to look into each file without having to decompress each installer/packed file first. This is how xfd was first born into the Amiga community. Though i also love to unpack installers to install only un-bloated programme's if the bloat is not needed. For checking for virus, malware and other parasites. There are many times i need just a driver, codec or other update, without having to install the application to get it. Allows more control of the pc that i am using, to what gets installed.

I doubt it can be supported. These installers are programs, pure and simple, nothing to unpack. They may contain a script of some sort that can be interpreted, but I doubt anything short of disassembly would do the trick. Ver Universal Extractor relies on PEiD, Trid and possibly others to parse each file for identification. It is these tools that do not know, what the unistaller package is. Though i have tried old and new varieties of this type of installer. Each time report back as v4 v5 or v6. It could say XUYOZ v5.00 or other title. Make no difference, as either identified wrongly or is an unknown install package. Maybe then this is the ultimate installer package for now, one that no one can uncompress manualy. This is the coders dream i would have thought, to have an installer secured from public gaze. More over a nightmare for us installers of that package, with bloatware or even nasty bugs to contend with.

Hi nitro322, Just love using, Universal Extractor. Besides others like xfd, xad and more (platform dependant). 1. Inno and nullsoft installers, possibly more besides. Beta v1.6 tries to extract them wrongly as a zip package, then fails. 2. I noticed for a long time, files that are installers, Universal Extractor all versions reports as below. Microsoft Visual C++ v6.0 [Overlay] Microsoft Visual C++ v5.0 [Overlay] Microsoft Visual C++ v4.0 [Overlay] test file = SUPER Unusual for this type of package also to have upx outer pack shell. The inside packed software reports itself as Microsoft Visual C++ v4.0 [Overlay]. I have come across many installers that say the above when trying to extract. Does Universal Extractor support these or planned to support this type of installer.
