How do I unclock a locked archive? WinRAR

**Ctwizzy** · April 25, 2005

I have WinRAR and I want to add my .reg to the installer, but if i try adding the .reg file to the installer archive I get a cannot modify locked archive error. Is there anyway I can unlock the archive so I can add my file?

If not this, how do I get the EXACT SFX for the installer so I can recreate it with that file included?

Thanks!

i dont believe you can unlock it to do that particular need,, i think its best to just unpack it and repackage it and if you just want to remake the same sfx package after adding the reg file that you desire,,, to get the same sfx style

do this on the sfx file

right click > properties > comment tab > then copy that into your new comment area for your new sfx file and thats it

hope that helps you m8

Its a solid sfx archive and right clicking on the properties to see the comment says this:

; WinRAR

; Multifunctional Integrated Archive Manager

and thats it...

Open your setup with WinRAR.Click the SFX button and then click Advanced SFX options.Go to Text and Icon tab and there is your comment.

this is the comment

; WinRAR
; Multifunctional Integrated Archive Manager

Its the official WinRAR installer. Thats all the comment says but it installs properly. I managed to recreate it by building my own and copying each and every sfx entry from the original. Still would ne nicer if you could unlock it.

1) Extract the contents of the original SFX into its own folder

2) Replace the Rarreg.key file

3) Make a new solid SFX in WinRAR as usual

4) Add all the files from the SFX folder

5) Copy the following into the comment box:
