Thanks for pointing out that there were some updates to the archiver programs.
However, I got a bit suspicious when I noticed that the newer 7z.exe in your DL
was half the size of the old. So to be safe, I found the authors and downloaded
the files. 7-ZIP, MSI2XML & UPX are all Source Forge projects. See links below.
It turns out that the 7z size reduction is due to the original file being compressed
by UPX. However, although the decompressed sizes and internal version numbers
of 7z.exe and msi2xml.exe are identical to the Source Forge files, their contents
differ significantly. Your UPX.exe file does match the Source Forge download.
Where did you get your files? Can you trust your source? Do you know why they
are different then the Source Forge originals?
The msi2xml program requires Core XML Services for XP (MSXML, v6) which is
available from Microsoft. Note that there is also a critical security update for this
package.
Expander is now part of a commercial proprietary application and is up to v12.
Where did you get the version 7 file that is in your DL? It is in German. Do you
know of an English version?

Freeko,
Thanks for the info. As I understand Smith Micro's statement, Expander is freeware but is not available separately, only as part of the Expander 2009 package which is a 30 day trial.
I had already downloaded the package but then discovered that it required .NET and I refuse to allow that bloatware on my system. I used UE to extract the expander archive (I think), but it apparently needs to be installed as the exe would not initialize. So I gave up and will rely on UE and Expander v7.
