RaggieSoft Extract is a tool I wrote for my programs and does the following:

  • Checks System Requirements
  • Checks for required Microsoft runtimes (Visual Basic 6, MFC, .NET Framework up to 3.5 SP1, etc)
  • Removes any previous version of your product, provided your uninstaller provides a quiet uninstall (check your documentation on how).  Some common examples:
    • Inno Setup: unins000.exe /VERYSILENT
    • Windows Installer: msiexec /x {product_guid} /QB!
      • Doesn't work for InstallShield's InstallScript MSI projects
    • Wise Installer (non-Windows Installer): unwise.exe /S "%MAINDIR%\INSTALL.LOG" (where %MAINDIR% is your installation folder, QUOTES ARE REQUIRED)
  • Extracts your files
  • Runs installer (can be a setup.exe or Windows Installer database)
  • Built-in support for both ZIP and 7-ZIP (LZMA) extraction through the optional 7za.exe

I am currently looking to add the following features (there is no time frame)

  • Create shortcuts
  • Edit the Registry
  • 64 bit OS support (Extract DOES run on x64 (both AMD and Intel) systems, but uses WOW64 like any other 32 bit program)
  • Uninstall files
  • Enhanced Windows Installer support
  • File Download support

I'm looking at making Extract available for anyone to use
