UniExtract 1.6.1 in development - info requested

[gora]

1 Extraction in an existing folder (the repeated extraction, the first extraction occurs without errors).

Click "OK"

Click "OK"

The text in last screenshot: "Specified the file does not exist. To open as a new file?"

Note: EmEditor - the text editor by default in my system.

2

Extraction with acknowledgement became less convenient, many additional operations:

- To shift window UE, to see entry line in a console window

- To click on a console window, to return it focus

- To be switched Rus-> Eng the keyboard

- To press "A"

- To press "Enter"

The text in last screenshot: "Specified the file does not exist. To open as a new file?"

Weird. I tried downloading adblockpro.exe, but I can't replicate the problem. Repeated extractions exit successfully. Regardless, though, there will be cases where this fails; as I mentioned in the changelog, detection isn't perfect due to a number of factors.

As for the "file does not exist" problem, I can't think of what may cause that. The file should always be there. Even for formats that I can't log (including 7-Zip now) it should at least contain a line stating something like "Extraction of 7-Zip archives cannot be logged." Can you do me a favor? Repeat the test that failed, then manually check to see if the debug file exists. Maybe it's an issue with the path (are you using an environmental variable in the debug location?), or maybe your editor isn't liking the way it's being called.

Edit: The debug file is launched with a ShellExecute command, which should open it in whatever edit Windows opens .txt files in by default. If the debug file does exist, try pasting the full path of it into the run box (just the file path, no editor command) and verify that Windows opens it properly in your editor.

I agree that this can be less convenient, but it's safer and more accurate. This is actually how I intended extractions with 7-Zip to function all along, the previous behavior was implemented because of this bug in 7-Zip. Since I couldn't log, I told 7-zip to force skipping existing files. After giving that decision a lot of additional thought, plus with the need to better handle overwrite detection, for the release I decided that it's more important to have full feedback and overwrite prompts for 7-Zip than debug logging. Once Igor fixes the issue in 7-Zip I'm going to add logging again, but the user prompt behavior will stay.

It's a feature, not a bug, although it may annoy some people.

Until I get a better system in place of handling i/o, the separate cmd Windows are the best option available. The primary goal for v2.0, whenever that may happen, is a revamped UI that integrates cmd output and prompts into the main UniExtract window. At that point the inconvenience factor will drop significantly, but until then the cmd windows are here to stay.

After a window 2 I see in a folder %TMP% 2 files of the identical size:

c:\DOCUME~1\gora\LOCALS~1\Temp\uniextract_temp.txt
c:\DOCUME~1\gora\LOCALS~1\Temp\uniextract.txt

But uniextract.txt I cannot look at a file, the system writes "There is no access or the file is already used"! The file uniextract_temp.txt normally opens and contains log

After pressing "ÎÊ" in this window 2 file uniextract.txt disappears also its editor simply does not find. In version 1.6 of such problems is not present, log file opens normally.

1.6.1 is done. Download links and final changelog for the release version is available in the announcement thread. Thanks to everyone that provided feedback.

In version 1.6 of such problems is not present, log file opens normally.

gora, I'm afraid I still can't replicate this, or even offer an explanation as to why it happens. You should never see that second _temp log; it only gets written very briefly in the event of a failed extraction, then gets moved back to the main debug file. This should happen pretty much instantly, and it happens before the Extraction Failed prompt is even displayed. That it doesn't happen with 1.6 is even weirder, because I didn't change anything at all in that part of the script.

Maybe I'm having trouble replicating your problem because I changed something between beta2 and the final version. I did make a few more tweaks, but nothing in particular that I can think of that might cause this. Go ahead and try the final version and let me know if you see any difference at all. If you do still have the problem, please provide the contents of your UniExtract.ini file (so I can try to match your environment as much as possible) and let me know what specific file you're trying to extract (direct download link would be a big help).

Everyone else - are you experiencing the same behavior gora reported? Please let me know.

With Latest Stable Version - 1.6.1 these problems are not present.

Noted.

Can you clarify point 1? You say the file name is not located, but I don't know what file you're referring to. From the image it looks like the text is too wide for the screen, which would be more difficult to fix in Inno Setup than UniExtract itself.

2,4 - noted

3 - this is a known problem. Unfortunately, there's no easy fix (best I can tell) as it'll require completely rewriting that custom Inno Setup options page. I'm going to try to get that fixed for the next release.

Is not extract:

adblockpro.exe, ccsetup227.exe, install_flash_player_ax.exe, IEPro2.4.9.exe

adblockpro.exe seems to work for me, but it suffers from the problem described here, where Install Explorer isn't being used instead of 7-zip to extract it.

others - same problem, but Install Explorer is failing, and it's not falling back to 7-zip like it should. Definitely needs to be fixed.

OK

This line will not go mad completely in a window:

PREFS_LABEL2 = "Ýòè îïöèè ìîãóò áûòü èçìåíåíû ïîñëå èíñòàëëÿöèè ïóò¸ì ïðàâêè ôàéëà UniExtract.ini."

File name (UniExtract.ini) is cut off.

Cool, thanks. That's what I was thinking based on the screenshot, but I wanted to verify I wasn't missing anything else.

This bug 7-Zip is already fixed (as has answered ipavlov). When you plan to update UE?

If TRID can detect MSIs created with Wix, then you should use dark.exe to decompile the MSI file. This should be preferred over MsiX.
