Can't extract NSIS installer .exe

Note: This was posted by an unknown user on 06/27/2010 and was falsely detected as spam. I'm reposting it on his behalf.

I'm trying to use UE v1.6.1 to extract an installer file created with NSIS. When I try I get the following error:

C:\Users\{username}\Desktop\iso_en.exe cannot be extracted.
Filetype returned was: Microsoft Visual C++ DLL [Nullsoft PiMP SFX]*

Click OK if you'd like to analyze the file yourself, or Cancel to exit.

Any pointers on solving this?

Problem Extracting This

Note: The following message was originally posted by an unknown forum member on 04/26/2010, but was flagged as spam. I'm manually reposting it here to make it available to everyone.

Hey there. I was wondering what the problem is with This file.

It says it's compressed with UPX compression but it cannot be extracted. The reason I want this extracted is because it has files I need inside, but when I try run it normally it gives me an error saying it cannot find my software. I tried over and over again to run it normally but to no avail. So I decided to see if there was software capable of extracting .exe files. I found yer software great, and I would really appreciate it if there is a solution for this.

If you need details here they are:

  • Entrypoint: 0001E0DC
  • File Offset: 0001E0DC
  • Linker Info: 6.0
  • EP: .text
  • First Bytes: 55,8B,EC,6A
  • Subsystem: Win32 GUI
  • Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 [Overlay]

That's what PEID returns.

Thank you so much for yer help.

im needing help in extracting clickteam install files

ive found so far that software

total commander 7.50a + the Game Archive UnPacker Version 0.6.0.3 PRO plugin

extracts files from the exe files made with clickteam install creator

example extracted files from a BinTreeSetup.exe

BinTreeSetup.exe.000000.zlb
BinTreeSetup.exe.000001.bz2
BinTreeSetup.exe.000002.zlb
BinTreeSetup.exe.000003.zlb
BinTreeSetup.exe.000004.zlb
BinTreeSetup.exe.000005.zlb
BinTreeSetup.exe.000006.zlb
BinTreeSetup.exe.000007.zlb
BinTreeSetup.exe.000008.zlb
BinTreeSetup.exe.000009.zlb
BinTreeSetup.exe.000010.zlb
BinTreeSetup.exe.000011.unk

bz2 file can be opened in a winrar
contains BinTreeSetup.exe.000001

but thats all i can go i dont know what to do with these files.

to make sense of to get files inside extracted

i cant work out zlib format properly
tried using gzip to extract zlb files but says not a known syntax

can someone pick up from this and make a breakthough.

Can't extract an EXE file with UE 1.6

Note: The following message was originally posted by an unknown forum member on 03/24/2010, but was flagged as spam. I'm manually reposting it here to make it available to everyone.

Hi,

I try to extract with UniExtract 1.6 the following EXE archive without success:

http://tinyurl.com/ygpmwnk

Click on Accept at the bottom of the page to download the file.

It is a Ralink Wi-Fi driver compacted with InstallShield 12.0.58849.

If I run the file, I obtain in the %Temp% directory a data1.cab file (but not data2.cab !) and I can't extract it with the other tools as I do usually for CAB files.

Any idea ?

Thanks you very much for your great software !

.msu (Windows Update) file association altered by uniextractor? Windows Virtual PC would not install.

Note: The following message was originally posted by an unknown forum member on 03/20/2010, but was flagged as spam. I'm manually reposting it here to make it available to everyone.

[First a hearty thank-you for this amazing utility. It is indispensible. Much, much thanks to you for your generosity in making it available to others.]

I discovered this problem with .msu files when I was trying to install Microsoft Virtual PC. I went to the Virtual PC homepage, downloaded Windows6.1-KB958559-x64.msu, clicked on it, and Microsoft Word tried to open it. When I uninstalled Word, and tried again, another incorrect program tried to open the file (HTML-Kit.exe). So, the assocation of .msu extension with the wusa.exe, the Windows Updater stand alone executable, had been altered somehow. I did allow changes to file associations during installation of uniextractor, so I presumed this was the source of the change to .msu files in my case.

This is just a note to inquire whether installation of uniextractor alters .msu file associations such that clicking on those files no longer launches Windows updater program (wusa.exe) to install them. I don't know for certain, but it seems likely to have been the cause in my case, so I thought I'd post this query here.

Note that to fix this problem behavior for .msu files, you simply resore its association with the Windows utility, "wuse.exe", located somewhere in your Windows folder. In my case the correct folder was \Windows\SysWOW64\wusa.exe. I'm not sure where this file is located in other versions of Windows, but you can always locate it before doing the steps below, by searching for "wusa.exe" in the Windows search box.

1) Right-click on top of any .msu file (for example, the Virtual PC .msu file downloaded from Microsoft--search google for the Microsoft link to the "Virtual PC" or "XP Mode" homepage)
2) Choose "OPEN WITH..."
3) In the navigation box that pops up, make sure the "Always Open with" checkbox is CHECKED
4) If 64-bit Windows if your operating system, navigate to Windows\SysWOW64\wusa.exe. Select that, and click OPEN in the navigation box's bottom right corner.

"wusa.exe" stands for Windows-Updater-Stand-Alone executable.
