This is something I’ve thought about many times. I would definitely support that. Although, it would probably make the SFX stub much bigger.

The CAB files created by InstallShield are not ordinary CAB files - they can’t be opened by PA or WinZip! The only program I know that can open these files is called ZipScan. Please enable support for this feature! I know that this format has been around for a long time (The Delphi 2 installer used this). Also, please try and enable UHA support - it really is that good! Keep up the good work!

Disclaimer : I have not tried any of the UHA utilities. I’ve not found a GUI for uharc 0.6 yet.) I definitely have no idea where the problem might have arised from. It was just a small test only. My understanding is that an archive compressed with UHA 0.4(beta) cannot be decompressed with UHA(0.6). This is what I meant by backward compatility. So if PA were to incorporate UHA 0.6 (beta) they would have “bug reports” relating to UHA 0.4(beta). This is not acceptable for a commercial program. wish plugins only for decompression wouldn’t be a big problem. But it would be a problem as I mentioned before (0.4 <=>0.6). PowerArchiver is a commercial product they cannot say “use at your own risk”.

this as i said before could be done as a plugin so users can decide what formats they need and this would mean pa would not become bloated as some people say it would.

I’m well aware of what RPMs are for, but they are basically specialized archives which also contain file based instructions for the RPM software to use when installing the program. They can also be accessed just as a regular archive. Several Windows-based archivers already support viewing/extracting RPMS including: (no links to other zip software please - admin - thank you) Edit: Just proving my point; several other archivers do support this (including freeware), it’s not some mystical technology.

TBGBe, thanks for the heads-up. Yes, it turns out you can create an archive and make it a self-extracting executable (SFX file), all at the same time, IF you use “SFX Wizard” button. You cannot do so by using the “Add Archive” button, nor can you do it from any of the Shell Extension options. I am glad that the SFX Wizard doesn’t only apply to existing archives, but can also be used to create an archive and make it a SFX file at the same time. However, I would still like to see this ability from the “Add Archive” process or as a Shell Extensions option. The benefit from being able to right/alternate-click on a file, group of files, or folder and create a new archive and make it a SFX file at the same time is obvious. However, why would one want to be able to create a SFX file from within the “Add Archive” process? One simple example is… You started to create a new archive and have named the archive as well and added all of the files/folders you want packaged in the archive. Now, you decide you want to create an SFX file. You don’t want to cancel the process you have already started, start the SFX Wizard and have to redo everything. You would like to be able to “turn on” or “toggle on” the SFX option and PA would automatically change the new archive name from NAME.ARE (where ARE is the archive extension… ZIP, 7Z, CAB, etc) to NAME.EXE. Of course, you could alter the path/name of the new file still and there would now be some SFX applicable options that would appear. If you change your mind again, you could “turn off” or “toggle off” the SFX option and PA would remember the archive type you had selected before (ZIP, 7Z, etc) and change the name of the new archive back to NAME.ARE accordingly. I hope that makes sense to everyone.
