Universal Extractor v1.6.1

Nice Frontend for many archivers (which are included).

One of the included archives indeed causes an heuristics scan to fire:

Universal Extractor v1.5

I'm going to make this less confusing: <br/> <br/>Extracts these formats/extensions: <br/> <br/>.7z,.ace, .arc., .arj, .bin, .cue, .bz2, .tbz2, .tar.bz2, .cpio, .deb, .b64, .uu, .uue, .xx, .xxe, .yenc, .ntx, .gz, .tgz, .tar.gz, .img, .cab, .1, .lib, .iso, .kgb, .kge, .lzh, .lha, .Z, .tz, .tar.Z, .lzo, .mht, .cab, .imf, .chm, .??_, .lit, .hlp, .dbx, .pea, .rar, .001, .rpm, .sis, .sit, .tar, .tar.z, .uha, .dll, .msi, .msp, .zip, .jar, .xpi, .wz, .zoo -- as well as various .exe's from different formats. Check out the Open Source software credits on the homepage. This little gem appears to be all you need for extraction.

Universal Extractor v1.5

This is important to note. Extracts but doesn't archive. Haven't actually tried it yet. <br/> <br/>Supported Formats <br/>As of v1.5, UniExtract uses TrID to determine the filetype of any given file. If this detection fails, file extensions are used as a backup identifier. The table below is a reference of known-supported filetypes and common extensions; any supported archive types should work regardless of actual extension. <br/> <br/>Archive Type Common File Extension(s) <br/>7-zip archive .7z, .exe <br/>ACE archive .ace <br/>ARC archive .arc <br/>ARJ archive .arj, .exe <br/>ASpack compressed file .exe <br/>BIN/CUE CD-ROM image .bin, .cue <br/>bzip2 archive .bz2, .tbz2, .tar.bz2 <br/>CPIO compressed file .cpio <br/>Debian package .deb <br/>Encoded files .b64, .uu, .uue, .xx, .xxe, .yenc, .ntx <br/>Gentee package .exe <br/>gzip archive .gz, .tgz, .tar.gz <br/>IMG floppy disk image .img <br/>Inno Setup package .exe <br/>Installer VISE package .exe <br/>InstallShield Cabinet archive .cab, .1, .lib <br/>InstallShield package .exe <br/>ISO CD-ROM image .iso <br/>KGB archive .kgb, kge, .exe <br/>LZH compressed file .lzh, .lha <br/>LZW compressed file .Z, .tz, .tar.Z <br/>LZO compressed file .lzo <br/>MHTML file .mht <br/>Microsoft Cabinet archive .cab, .exe, .imf <br/>Microsoft Compiled Help file .chm <br/>Microsoft compressed file .??_ <br/>Microsoft LIT e-book .lit <br/>Microsoft Windows Help file .hlp <br/>NSIS package .exe <br/>Outlook Express mail archive .dbx <br/>PEA archive .pea <br/>RAR archive .rar, .001, .exe <br/>RPM package .rpm <br/>SetupFactory package .exe <br/>SIS (SymbianOS) packages .sis <br/>StuffIt packages .sit <br/>TAR archive .tar, .tbz2, .tgz, .tz, .tar.bz2, .tar.gz, .tar.z <br/>UHARC archive .uha <br/>UPX compressed file .exe, .dll <br/>Windows Installer package .msi <br/>Windows Installer patch .msp <br/>Wise Installer package .exe <br/>ZIP archive .zip, .jar, .xpi, .wz, .exe <br/>Zoo archive .zoo
