Problem installing v1.6

OS = WinXP Pro SP3
Application = WinZip 12.0 (most recent version)

Problem is similar to the problem reported in the post "Problem installing v1.5" dated 3/30/2007. Installation fails with Windows error dialog box that reads (I'd upload a screenshot, but I don't know how):

Error creating registry key:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\WinZip\shell\uniextract

RegCreateKeyEx failed; code 5
Access is denied.

Click Retry to try again, Ignore to proceed anyway, or Abort to cancel installation.

Pressing Retry does not help, pressing Ignore leads to the same error for the following 5 keys:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\WinZip\shell\uniextract\command
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\WinZip\shell\uniextract_here
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\WinZip\shell\uniextract_here\command
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\WinZip\shell\uniextract_sub
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\WinZip\shell\uniextract_sub\command

then pressing Ignore cycles to the first key above and so on. The only working option is Abort, so at this time UEv1.6 can NOT be installed.

What do you suggest? Do you need any further information from me?

Universal Extractor 1.6 Released

After a really long release cycle, the final version of Universal Extractor 1.6 is ready to go. This version improves on the core functionality of UniExtract, most notably:

  • Full Vista support
  • Individual vs. global preferences (see ChangeLog for details)
  • new Preferences GUI
  • Code execution warnings

It also, of course, includes support for additional formats, as well as the latest versions of support binaries such as 7-Zip.

I know this has been a long time coming. I hope you find it was worth the wait.

LegRoom.net Forum Posts

A number of visitors have posted to the LegRoom.net Forum over the past few months (mostly about Universal Extractor), but unfortunately I've been rather lax about responding to the posts. Just as I haven't been able to spend much time on developing UniExtract lately, I also haven't been able to spend much time on support.

Last weekend I spent some time going through all of the unanswered posts and replied to each. If you had made any posts to the forum in the last few months, please check back to see if your question was sufficiently answered. If you need anymore assistance, please post a reply and I promise I'll get back to you much more quickly this time. :-)

For anyone else with comments or questions about UniExtract, this website, or any other apps hosted on this site, the LegRoom.net Forum remains the best place to seek help. Just keep in mind that it may sometimes take me a couple of days to reply to your post.
