universal extractor is a program designed to decompress and extract files from any type of archive or installer, such as zip or rar files, selfextracting exe files, windows installer (.msi) packages, etc.

please note that universal extractor is not intended to be a general purpose archiving program. it cannot (and never will) create archives, and therefore cannot fully replace archivers such as 7zip or winrar. what it will do, however, is allow you to extract files from virtually any type of archive, regardless of source, file format, compression method, etc.

the original motivation behind this project was to create an easy, convenient way to extract files from various types of installation packages without the need to remember arcane command line switches or track down separate utilities to handle the unpacking. over time it has evolved into a mature and very capable unarchiving utility that many find indispensable.

universal extractor 2 is an updated fork of the project.
