horsecharles Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 QUOTE (horsecharles @ Nov 23 2007, 12:47 PM) Nitro, I'm gonna cross-post here-- serves to bump up this thread as well...Context menu entries for Universal Extractor have disappeared(for .zip, .msi & .exe), on Vista Home Premium Sp1(btw no such issues on Win XP SP3). I've tried reinstalling, w/ all possible context entries enabled and .zip associated w/ it, of course-- to no avail. Send To shortcut remains in place.horsecharles, have you had any luck resolving this? I don't have access to a Vista system, so I'm pretty limited in what I can do to troubleshoot here.

ale5000 Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 In the new version will be removed the dialog with title "Test" that appears when extracting some installers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ale5000 Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 This file is wrongly detected as Installshield ( http://download.winzip.com/wzcline22.exe ), it can be simply extracted with WinRAR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j7n Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 (edited) I did not know there was a beta. I looked at this forum and didn't see an announcement. Please ignore that remark. I've already unpacked that archive using innounp, only complaint was about the frontend not working properly. Edited March 12, 2008 by j7n Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

horsecharles Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 (edited) OK... some things to report(remember, running Vista Home Premium w/ latest SP1):1. The context menu had really been flummoxed-- as well entries like Run as Admin were gone, even for .msi... HOWEVER-- the context menu was unchanged / undamaged for SHORTCUTS of extensions in question: exe / zip / msi / etc. BUTTTT..... selecting those commands ie running a shortcut of an msi file as Admin, etc. resulted in "no action occurring"... i see this is as a frequently-mentioned problem in Vista web-wide BTW.2. I fixed everything(after trying numerous expected fixes-- registry(added Run as Admin to context of each extension...to no avail...etc.), uninstall/reinstall, etc.-- here's how:A. Simultaneously uninstalled: 7-z, 7zip, AlZip, IzArc, PeaZip, TugZip, Universal Extractor (sorry but have very little disposable time these days to post here, let alone experiment one app at a time).B. Removed from context menu all leftover entries re those apps(used the module from Glary Utilities) EXCEPT for those of Universal Extractor, 7zip & ZipInstaller.C. Re-installed latest versions of(with all file associations DEselected BUT all context menu entries selected in all of them): Universal Extractor(1.6 BETA), 7zip, IzArc... plus re-enabled context option in ZipInstaller.Everything back to normal(even things like Run as Admin) except:D. IzArc context entries will not appear in context menu.E. Having not associated .zip with any particular app, double-clicking such a file opens up Universal Extractor.4. Conclusion(s)???? Draw your own.... it was either:F. One of the permanently-removed apps was the culprit.. especially since i now seem to remember some such context issues on other systems from years ago: win98, winXP. ORRRRR:G. The sheer number of context entries(I run at high-resolution on a large monitor, and even then the context menu scrolled off the top and bottom). BTW, yes, was still able to access any entry thru the scroll arrows.H. LAST BUT NOT LEAST: Universal Extractor is to be held blameless here.Good Luck all.QUOTE (horsecharles @ Nov 23 2007, 12:47 PM) Nitro, I'm gonna cross-post here-- serves to bump up this thread as well...Context menu entries for Universal Extractor have disappeared(for .zip, .msi & .exe), on Vista Home Premium Sp1(btw no such issues on Win XP SP3).

horsecharles Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Add ExtractNow & UPX to the context entries manually removed(these apps were NOT uninstalled though). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geezery Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Is it possible for the developer to add support for .DAA (Poweriso) files.http://aluigi.altervista.org/mytoolz/daa2iso.zipThere is this daa2iso converter that can convert DAA file to ISO. I assume that Universal Extractor can then unpack the ISO file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
