I can't imagine what the problem is. I have been running UniExtract2 on my Windows 11 Pro for about a year now, through a number of updated versions of Windows 11, and I've never yet had a failure of UniExtractor2. I've used it several times in the last week to unwrap executable installer files, and I've had no problems at all. W11 23H2 22631.2861.

Just a moment ago, I downloaded a 77MB installer file for a utility. Opened UniExtractor2 and loaded the file, and a moment later, I had a completely functioning utility, without installing it. UniExtractor2 unwrapped about 70 files from the installer, and the main executable for the program functioned without errors.

Thank you for your answer,
I tried again but with no results !
My Windows 11 23H2 22631.2861 same as yours.
Uniextract2 version RC3
Where have you install Uniextract (witch folder) ?
Do you use it with admin rights ?

@maunakai I have it on my D: drive, not on C:.
"D:\Utilities II\UniExtract\UniExtract.exe"
and I do not run it as Admin. BTW, I didn't "install" it. I just unpacked the .zip file and put the 17 items into my UniExtract folder on D:. I run it from there. My shortcut to the .exe is not set to Run as Admin.

I'm thinking you got a flawed download. I got mine from

Scroll down to "get the latest version here".

You might try a fresh copy.

@maunakai

It looks as though you keep trying it on the same .exe file. How about getting a new INSTALLER file somewhere, and trying that? And did you yry getting a new copy of UniExtractRC3.zip from the link I posted? (There are a couple of bad sources on the Net that give you an old version from Jared B.)

May be your antivirus blocks running inno*.exe files? Look in log.

@maunakai
I just downloaded SiteMapG.exe from the link you provided. I started it to make sure it was an INSTALLER. It was. Then I opened my copy of UniExtract.exe and used the three dots to search for the SiteMapG.exe file. I clicked OK and UniExtractor began running and finished in a few seconds. It produced this:

And when I ran that executable, it produced the program:

I don't know where you got RC4, but that's not available on the site I posted a few hours ago:

Nightly and beta builds are likely to be buggy. If @maunakai sticks with a new download of the file I directed him to, it will WORK.

Nightly and beta builds are likely to be buggy.

The same as stable, but beta use more unpackers.

If @maunakai sticks with a new download of the file I directed him to, it will WORK.

Both versions work.

I try again with the good download (link from Wisewiz001), other install files (that I new it works before like freekernelpstviewer.exe) and stop my antivirus. Try it from different place (download folder, C:\uniextract or other), no change, back to the beginning:

Thank you for your help
