I'll do some more testing and figure out a better way to deal with this. Now, I've only just encountered this problem with 7-Zip while extracting the Firefox installer, so I don't know how pervasive it is. Simply hitting a then enter will make it continue. What's actually happening is 7-Zip is prompting you to confirm whether or not you want to overwrite the existing files however, for some reason the prompt itself is not shown.

If you've already extracted the archive and try to extract again (while the previous folder still exists), UniExtract will appear to hang after spawning an empty command shell. With that said, I did notice a couple oddities while testing for this problem. It's a Self-Extracting 7-Zip archive, so UniExtract should call 7z.exe to extract the contents. I just downloaded and tested again to make sure that nothing changed in version 1.5, and it still works fine. Quicktime I'm not sure about one way or another. I don't think that Adobe Reader cannot be extracted with UniExtract, so that may not make a good test case.
Ok, I still haven't been able to duplicate this behavior. I am getting this everytime i try to extract adobe reader, quicktime and firefox. And when I push ctrl+alt+del It shows me an error code. Then it shows the "scanning file" bar and I do NOTHING. I have the problem that nearly everytime it hangs after I click in the context menu on "Extract". I still won't be able to give a simple progress bar, but it would look much cleaner. As a long-term goal I plan on moving to this approach (also noted in the ToDo file), which should at least allow me to wrap the output in a GUI text box. With that said, the current beta versions of AutoIt does allow STDIO operations with external DOS programs. Please wait.", but I find it much more useful to know the current status of the operation. It would be easy to hide the DOS box and only show a static GUI message like, "Extracting. As a result, there's no way for UniExtract to know the current status or progress of any given operation the only thing it knows for sure is the beginning and end points. The UniExtract front-end doesn't do any of the work itself - it calls all of the other binaries in bin\ to extract the files. Wish I could, but for now that's not possible. Just a thought, good idea & all, but how about instead of having a dos box open u could have a GUI instead ?

#Uniextract 4 how to
I often have a need to unpack other application packages, whether it's to get a file out of it and I don't feel like installing the full application, or I'm investigating how to perform a silent install, or whatever the case may be. I was inspired by ZoSTeR's Universal Silent Switch Finder, so I wrote an application to do something I've wanted for quite a long time: an easy way to extract files from executable files, installation packages. Version 1.6 Released - Please see the Universal Extractor Latest Version for details of this release, and all releases going forward.
