Failed to read ... bytes of file, Failed to read ... from input cabinet file, Failed to extract file

[harrypotterIUP]

I'm getting Failed to read ... bytes of file, Failed to read ... from input cabinet file, Failed to extract file errors for 2 files. The 3000+ other files are being extracted without issues. No luck with the -O option either. When I'm using the same files to actually run the setup executable, everything gets installed without errors - including the files that unshield fails to extract. So it seems like the files themselves are fine.

I'm using the latest build from the repository:

$ ./unshield -V
Unshield version 1.4.3. MIT License. (C) 2003-2021 David Eriksson.
$ ./unshield -D 3 -d output x data1.cab >logfile 2>&1
$

It's a great tool, by the way. Thanks for doing this! :+1:

Thanks for the report! Could this be the same as #124?

Thanks for the report! Could this be the same as #124?

Thanks for getting back to me! :+1: Yes, maybe you're right and it is the same as #124.

Is there anything I can do to help? It seems like a good idea to fix this issue. However, unfortunately, I couldn't come up with anything. Like I said, you can just run the regular setup program to extract the files, if it helps to have the two missing desired output files.

I'd love to fix this but it will take some time debugging etc and I also have paid work to do and that goes first...
