Universal Extractor is a practical and handy utility that can extract files from many types of archives and installation programs. The program integrates the functionality of a special TrID utility and thanks to this, it is possible to identify more than three thousand different file types.
Despite its great functionality and impressive set of various functions, archivers such as WinRar and 7-Zip cannot boast the same huge number of supported archive formats. Neither will they open the various software installers, which are based on special utilities such as Windows Installer or MSI. But sometimes there are situations when this feature may be very useful.
For example, if some important files of some application are damaged due to a virus program, and they refuse to start. Of course, you can simply reinstall the application, but in this case all saved settings will be lost. And what if it is a large software package or a computer game of more than 1 GB in size? The easiest solution would be to extract the missing files from the program installer and upload them to the folder with the damaged program. That's what Universal Extractor does, and it does it all in a matter of seconds.
Universal Extractor not only supports almost all existing archive formats and installers, it is completely free and offers great functionality, it is also comfortable and pleasant graphical shell.
