This archive file contains an IS installer. When trying to open extract files from it, it always ends up aborting.

$ unshield -d ~/temp/ -D3 x data1.cab
[unshield_read_headers:226] Reading header from .hdr file 1.
[unshield_read_headers:284] Version 0x020005dc handled as major version 0

That link requires a login, which I don't want to get into.

Can you please post the cab file somewhere, or provide a core dump.

And what version, distro etc ?

[Ignaz Forster]

This is very likely the same problem as in http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=1924929&group_id=30550&atid=399601: unshield does not know the new IS version numbers and thus falls back to major version 0.

I would suggest to invert the version number handling: If the version number is not known, do not use the oldest, but the newest algorithm.

[David Eriksson]

@ifo: The current version number handling comes from the fact that for version before version 4 (I think) we have no good way of detecting the version number, but those archives are probably so rare these days that we could add a flag to assume such old archives.

Patches anyone? :-)

[Ignaz Forster]

Sure, why not ;-)

I'll try to have a patch ready within the next two days.

[Ignaz Forster]

A patch is ready - see https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3163039&group_id=30550&atid=399603 for details.

Please try the latest unshield from the Subversion repository!
