Universal Extractor 1.6

Universal Extractor is a program do to exactly what it says: extract files from any type of archive, whether it's a simple zip file, an installation program, or even a Windows Installer (.msi) package.  This is still a work in progress (see details below), but so far it's proven quite useful and I feel others can also benefit from it.

I should stress that this application is not intended to be a general purpose archiving program.  It will never replace WinRAR, 7-Zip, etc.  What it will do is allow you to extract files from virtually any type of archive, regardless of source, compression method, etc.  The original motivation behind this project was that I wanted an easy, convenient way to extract files from installation packages, such as Inno Setup or Windows Installer packages, without pulling up a command line every time.  In the process I got a little carried away and ended up throwing in support for every kind of archive format I possibly could find.

Added support for individual user preferences for better Vista support;
        by default, this is enabled for standalone, disabled for installed
        when enabled, UniExtract uses single .ini file as with previous version
        when disabled, individual prefs/history are saved to registry in HKCU
        this can be changed by modifying globalprefs setting in .ini file
  Added menu bar to main GUI;
        includes options to quit, edit preferences, and visit UniExtract website
  Added separate preferences GUI to provide easy access to all options;
        can be invoked through Edit menu or through '/prefs' argument
  Added support for DiscJuggler CDI CD-ROM images via cdirip.exe
  Added support for FEAD Optimizer packages (eg, Adobe Reader installers)
  Added support for LZMA compressed files via lzma
  Added support for LZX compressed files via unlzx
  Added support for Nero NRG CD-ROM images (data only) via nrg2iso
  Added support for Reflexive Arcade installer wrapper via RAIU

  Added support for WIM (Windows Imaging Format) images via 7-Zip
  Added "Not an InstallShield installer" option to InstallShield method select
        dialog to force UniExtract to handle TrID InstallShield false positives

        docs, languages, and certain (large) binaries optional
  Added SendTo icon option to installer
  Added internationalization support for decompressed ASPack and UPX files
  Added Croatian, Dutch, Hungarian, Portuguese, Romanian, Taiwanese, Turkish,
        and Valencian (Catalan) translations
  Added return codes to indicated status of extraction (actually added in 1.5):
        0 = successful exit or user-initiated cancel
        1 = supposedly supported file, but extraction failed
        2 = debug file is not writable, aborted
        3 = unknown executable - cannot be extracted
        4 = unknown filetype - cannot be extracted
        5 = invalid output directory specified
