multiarc MS EXPAND configuration

[Nigurrath]

Hi all,
here it is a .addon file (for MultiArc) which works with Microsoft compressed files, those distributed in old installation files (with an extension of .EX_ and .DL_)

These pack are able to contains only single files, anyway handling them in TC is useful expecially when managing microsoft installation files..

PS expand.exe is found in the system32 folder

Code: Select all

I think above line is better than yours if you are running under non-English OS
Others, I like your wc/tc plugins

Great idea!!
Somehow I thoght, that this format is supported by TC itself...

But I was wrong!!

Little tip for German users

Code: Select all

Start="Alle Rechte vorbehalten."

looks a bit better .

TC itself can't handle the .??_ file?

Long time before, I used TC to unpack the .??_ files exist in the Win2000 installation disc. Ctrl + Pgdn go into that type of file, Alt + F9 can unpack it.

How to use the addon code? I don't understand...

[Nigurrath]

the .addon file has to be used with multiarc (see instructions of this TC addon for usage).
