Universal Extractor fails to extract Firetune.

also i found this program packed with Setup Factory 6: Auto Schedule

Thanks, anonymous_person. I was able to get both of those working.

I' ve found 2 old installers made with Setup Factory, both fail to extract with uniextract. I also tried cmdTotal, and it doesn't work either.

Wow, when I asked for "older" SetupFactory installers, you really delivered! :) It looks like these are too old, though. I can't find anything to support them. I'll hang on to them for future testing, though.

Thanks to both of you for your response.

By the way, I think UniExtract 1.5 is feature-complete at this point. I still need to do a lot of testing and fine-tuning, and will need to get some assistance updating the translation files, but I'm hoping to put out a beta version either this weekend or on Monday. I've made some significant changes in this version, so I'll definitely need some help testing it before releasing the final version to make sure I haven't added any regressions. If you're interested in helping out, check back here periodically over the next couple days. I'll post a download link and beta ChangeLog as soon as it's ready.

Universal Extractor fails to extract ONES

Nope. I played around with it for about 45 min., but couldn't figure it out. To be honest, I can't even figure out what kind of installer it is, let alone how to extract files.

It looks like it might be an NSIS installer, but doesn't behave like others I've seen. Perhaps it's a custom NSIS build, similar to how Skype uses a custom version of Inno Setup.

Alternatively, is it possible to package applications in an installer directly with Visual Studio? If so, that may be the case here rather than NSIS.

Either way, though, I can't support it at this time.

MultiExtractor

MultiExtractor is an application that allows you to extract/recovery multimedia files. MultiExtractor is different from other extractors becouse:

it extracts image/audio/video files (BMP, JPG, GIF, PNG, PCX, TGA, ICO, CUR, XM, MOD, WAV, OGG, MP3, S3M, AVI, DAT, ASF, MOV and SWF)

it can extract files stored in DATABASES (like *.doc, *.ppt, *.xls, *.pdf, *.db...)

it can also extract all specifed formats (stored as resources) from PE-FILES (*.exe, *.scr, *.dll, *.ocx, *.ax...)

it have a dynamic multimedia explorer (all data is mapped)

it have a very strong filtering options (like icon properties, image properties, size of files)

it can extract crypted/packed resources of executable file

it uses DRAG&DROP interface and CLIPBOARD.

These toolz also can help.

Well, the update is (still) taking longer than expected to finish up. Let's set a new timeframe of Wednesday/Thursday for the beta.

They should already be supported. Can you provide some more information about what exactly is failing? What version of UniExtract are you using? What application are you trying to extract? Can you post a download link for it?

InstallShield CAB File Viewer 12

Unfortunately I can't use these. Somebody had actually sent me a link to this a while back, but it turns out that this is official InstallShield/Macrovision code which cannot be redistributed. Heck, according the the license and previous discusson I've seen on the issue it can't even be redistributed within your own organization, let alone including it in a separate product and distributing to everyone on the internet. It stinks, too, because it does a good job and I had actually figured out how to make it work with UniExtract before realizing the licensing issue. :(

MultiExtractor

This is new to me, I'll have to check it out. Thanks for the tip.

Thank you both Nitro and Stranger for your extraction tools. Much appreciated.

Can you please tell me how to use the cracked InstallShield Cabinet Viewer 12? I tried to unpack an IS7 cabinet (split into data1.hdr, data1.cab, data2.cab), which is unsupported by i6comp, using ISCAB and IsCabVu. Both applications parsed the header file without errors. Finally IsCabVu allows me to extract files one by one. The problem is that there are over 1000 files packed.

To do unpacking in batch mode I created an ini file using command.

iscab data1.cab -i"iscab.ini" -l

Then modified the ini file to include target path according to this helpfile.

Upon running the extraction process iscab tells me it can't find a file #1418. There is no file with such index in the cabinets and my ini file.

iscab.exe data1.cab -i"iscab.ini" -x

Error: Could not find CAB file with file #1418

The system cannot find the file specified.

To exclude the possibility with mismatched seachpaths, I have finally copied the installer, iscab12 and the ini file in the same directory.

i6comp does indeed support these types of files:

C:\1\Test\iscab>dir
04/24/2002  06:01 AM		 1,203,219 data1.cab
04/24/2002  06:03 AM			46,414 data1.hdr
04/24/2002  06:04 AM		11,782,898 data2.cab
			   3 File(s)	 13,032,531 bytes
			   2 Dir(s)   5,239,394,304 bytes free

C:\1\Test\iscab>i6comp l data1.cab

<SNIP>

Date	   Time   OrigSize Attr  CompSize Ind,Vol FileName
========== ===== ========= ==== ========= ======= =================
12-16-1999 10:24	 28529 A___	  5841	0, 1 corecomp.ini
01-04-2000 06:44	151552 A___	 66724	1, 1 ctor.dll
01-04-2000 06:39	 32768 A___	  4524	2, 1 objectps.dll
01-08-2000 06:40	208896 A___	 90177	3, 1 iuser.dll
07-09-1999 21:43		 0 A___		 0	4, 1 ILog.dll
<SNIP>

Now, it's possible that the particular files that you are working with may not be supported by i6comp, but just because it's split into multiple files does not mean it's unsupported. If that's the case, I'd recommend trying i5comp instead, which can sometimes work in cases where i6comp fails. You may also want to try using WinPack, which includes both of these utilities, i3comp for even older archives, and a nice little GUI frontend. You can read more about WinPack here:

http://snoopy81.ifrance.com/snoopy81/en/winpack.htm

If you really want to use InstallShield Cabinet Viewer instead, you'll have to do a bit more work. I don't know why, but as you've seen extraction doesn't work quite right. I can't remember the details of what I had to do to make it work, but I think it involved listing the files first, reading through the list and creating all subdirectories, then running iscab again to actually extract the files. I'm pretty sure all subdirectories have to be created first. It's a pain, so like I said earlier I'd recommend trying i6comp/i5comp instead ad using this only as a fallback option.

Can i5comp extract InstallShield 7 cabinets?

Phew, after a few hours I have at last successfully extracted the archive using ISCAB 12. The cabinet was "Grand Theft Auto: Vice City" installer on 2 CDs. At first I had overlooked a small dummy cabinet data3.cab on the second disc, which obviously contained the #1418 file. There were also uncompressed files on the disc, and when listing the contents uising -l iscab did not differentiate between uncompressed files and files packed in CABs. So, those files also had to be copied over (first I tried extracting in the current directory, overwriting those files with themselves).

Iscab created all required subdirectories.

Some other useful progs :)

Dragon UnPACKer 5.2.0.167

This program allows you to see into the big files in games like Quake 2 (go

look in the baseq2 sub directory, see the big pak0.pak file, that's one) and

extract files to anywhere you want easily. It can also convert some weird

formats to common formats (like .ART Duke Nukem 3D files to Windows BitMaP .BMP

files).

Extractor

Extractor is a program that enables a search for any type of formats in selected files. The size of files found is calculated according their contents and are identical with the original file size. It is very easy to save and then later find the results of your search without having to search through files again. Extractor contains a lot of other useful functions for work with files. They can be used to extract, divide, merge or import files or create groupfiles of various formats. The files already found is possible to open and view without extracting them. One of the functions also enables you to search for an arbitrary text in found file items or sort items according to given criteria.
