Universal Extractor to Extract any Archive
Posted on 13. Aug, 2009 by a_usman in Softwares | 0 comments
There are many popular softwares available to extract the common type of archives like WinRAR, 7-Zip, but this Universal Extractor can extract a simple zip to Windows Installer (.msi) files. Universal Extractor, like most of my Windows programs, is written in AutoIt, a powerful open source scripting language. Universal Extractor itself, however, is just a front-end that uses many other programs to do the dirty work.
The complete list of supported files is:
