Functional possibilities
The software supports extracting data from ZIP, RAR, 7Z, ISO, MSI, NSIS, Inno Setup, CAB, EXE and many other formats. The program automatically recognizes the archive type and applies the right extraction engine. Even if they are built-in tools or third-party modules, such as innounp or UPX, the program will handle everything without any problems. If you need to disassemble the installer of the program of your choice and get the necessary files without installing the software on your computer – the program will be indispensable for you.
Areas of usage
The software is perfect for developers, testers, system administrators and reverse engineers. For example, you can extract configuration files from MSI or EXE-installer, replace the necessary files and build a customized distribution that will be created strictly for the tasks you need. This is especially useful if you are working with disk utilities like Seagate Toolkit – by extracting the distribution without installing it, you can make configuration changes in advance or check which processes will be started at startup.
The program is also perfectly complemented by Sysinternals Suite . This is a set of professional diagnostic utilities from a team of developers who have done their job so well that their suite of utilities is recommended for download even by Microsoft’s official website. After extracting the program contents, you can use, for example, Process Explorer or Procmon to study the behavior of the executable file, debug utilities, monitor changes in system libraries and understand how the software interacts with the system. This combination gives full transparency in the use of software, which is so appreciated by specialists in various fields, because it is always nice to understand the whole process of work.
