Cancel button doesn't work when running a setup file from Virtual Drive

[Cristian]

I’ve mounted an ISO file with Virtual Drive and clicked the setup.exe file inside the image. PA started to extract the files in a temporary folder. When I pressed Cancel button the operation still continued. I did that several times but the result was the same.

Basically, the cancel action can only be performed when the extraction library returns control to PowerArchiver.

This may be format dependant and apply to ISO -
so PA has to wait for the setup to be extracted from the ISO before it can do the cancel.

if you have mounted ISO with PA and started setup, then it is up to setup to cancel, not PA.

Basically ISO is not and drive, and you are running some program from it. PA doesnt have anything with it.

Unless you didnt explain it well?

please let me know cristian if you are extracting ISO via PA or mounting it with VD.

thanks

I’m trying to recreate the situation but I don’t have any luck at the moment.

It was mounting it with VD if I remember well.

so you didnt open it with PA, it is just some setup on “drive” that didnt want to cancel?

Yep, I believe so. Office 2007 setup if I remember well.

if you try to extract a large file then pa sometimes has to complete that operation before it will cancel which makes the cancel button pointless what it should do is terminate the process of extracting leaving behind what it has already extract thats what people want

thanks cristian, in that case it is up to Office setup to cancel, pa just creates virtual drive…. closing this one!
