This time before I post another plugin that's been covered, I'll ask if anyone has posted a WinRAR plugin? If not, I'll have one soon.

Cybervyk

Looking forward to it!

ok...but a question...

if you opens a file *rar...Winrar extracts it in a temp folder on C...so it writes in Hard Disk...am I wrong with it...?

If u open with winrar any archive winrar only show u list of files in archive. But if u open any file from archive winrar will unpack it in temp folder. So u can use ramdrive any set temp at ramdrive.

Correct on the ramdrive. The plugin I'm working on posting has the extract path set to temp. So, again. Does anyone have one posted somewhere?
RvdH, is yours posted. Would you mind if I posted one? If you'd like, we could collaborate on one (with the ramdrive, etc.) and I'd host it for us if you'd like.

Go ahead modify it!

Be sure to include the registry settings otherwise you'll be promted with the "Options" panel everytime winrar gets executed

Have a issue with the file extensions...they open correct in winrar but they don't have the winrar icons...maybe you could fix that?

RvdH

Done. Cybervyk's plugin
Take a look. Let me know what you think. Give me some suggestions.

What is the file zipnew.dat? I dont have that in my WinRAR folder.

zipnew.dat not needed as far as i know

Is this file not needed in order to create a new .zip file? That is that I got from the context as far as reading thrugh the registry entries.

@ iss
If my .inf file works as I'd hoped, it should not give you an error about whether or not that files is present. Did it give an error?
As far as why you do not have it, I'd guess that you do not have WinRAR associated with zip files. You are probably using WinZip, or something for those. If you go to options/settings and click the radio box for zip, it will create the zipnew.dat. If you copy it to the plugin folder, you can then go back to WinRAR and deselect zipnew.dat.
I may have written something explaining that, but figured it was not that big of a thing. I'm not CERTAIN that it affects anything.

Cybervyk

cybervyk,

yes I tried your plugin PEBuilder didnt flinch ( it was enabled by default) but it didnt create the ISO becasue of the error "zipnew.dat not found" and yes I dont have WinRAR associated with zip since I use Winzip. so that expalins the missing file. thanks for the info I will follow your instructions and try again.

What I mean by didnt flinch is that usually PE Builder wont allow a program to be enabled if a file is missing. but the pluging was allready enabled by default.

Well, iss, thank you very much for letting me know of that. I'll work on fixing that. Perhaps I'll just take zipnew.dat out altogether.

Cybervyk

Still Have a issue with the file extensions...they open correct in winrar but they don't have the winrar icons...maybe you could fix that too?

RvdH

cybervyk,

I did like you said and had no problems. I did mod the .inf so it would recognize my rarereg.key by adding rarreg.key=a,,1

@RvdH
Here. This look like it works for mine. you forgot to put .exe for "Winrar" for
So it looks like it was pointing to winrar not winrar.exe where the ico files are located i believe.

New Code

Oooops

Thanks for pointing that out !

RvdH

I have fixed the icon/association things. Icons appear just fine within WinRAR and probably other apps as well. I use the ERD explorer, where they do not appear. I have no idea that this can be fixed. If someone knows ...
