    Hi!
    I have just moved from Win7 32 bit to Win10 64bit.
    The "no extraction" script is ruuning fine with current cygwin64, if I try adb-split-extraction.sh (even if I will not use it!) I get this error after having copied the "star-1.5.3-i686-pc-cygwin" into my bin folder:

    Creating individual tar archives...
    star compression failed at android. Aborting.
    

    I tried to run manually star.exe and got a message (I didn't save it...) about missing references...

    Could it be that the included star.exe are only for 32bit?

    Thank you
    CIao

      I run Windows 7 64 bits and use 32 bits cygwin because all cygwin app are available, some are not yet compiled for 64 bits, so that is not the problem.

      I believe that it is because of some special character in filename, like ";" or "\" or related. The readmes mention something about that

      I recommend you to use adb-split-no-extraction.sh whose result is exactly the same but won't fail.

      You can see the output of star and search in that path for any special character in android folder to see if it's there and report back what did happen.
