Problem with seeing files in MSI archives

[brahman]

Hello,

when I look at MSI files with Total7zip activated, I see only entries starting with "fil" followed by numbers and capital letters.

If I deactivate Total7zip, I see the files and folder structures of the MSI content, as I want it to see.

This is my ini entry:

[PackerPlugins]
;Total7Zip=324,%COMMANDER_PATH%\wcx\Total7zip\Total7zip.wcx
;7z=735,%COMMANDER_PATH%\wcx\Total7zip\Total7zip.wcx
;wim=735,%COMMANDER_PATH%\wcx\Total7zip\Total7zip.wcx

HardLink=257,%Commander_path%\WCX\CreateHardLink\CreateHardLink.wcx
CopyTree=277,%Commander_path%\WCX\CopyTree\CopyTree.wcx

How can I activate Total7zip again and still see the folders and files in an MSI file (putting "msi=68,%Commander_path%\WCX\InstallExplorer\InstExpl.wcx" as my first entry and activating Total7zip did NOT work).

Any other comments to improve my packer plugin setup are also welcome.

Thank you for your help.

I use the MSI plus plugin for Total Commander Version: 0.6.0.1
converted to a x64 version using the decTC32Host tool.
viewtopic.php?t=40680
This shows the msi content separated in
-Dialogs
- Files
- Streams
- Tables
and all files, of course.

Thank you Horst,

but that isn't my problem.

I am completely happy with the way the MSI files are displayed, when Total7zip is deactivated.

Problem is when Total7zip is activated I am not happy. So how to activate Total7zip but not have it work on MSI files?

Set the values so that the flag 64 it not contained in any archive type. What do I mean by that? Let's look at the first two lines:

Code: Select all

;Total7Zip=324,%COMMANDER_PATH%\wcx\Total7zip\Total7zip.wcx
;7z=735,%COMMANDER_PATH%\wcx\Total7zip\Total7zip.wcx

324 = 256 + 64 + 4 and 735 = 512 + 128 + 64 + 16 + 8 + 4 + 2 + 1. According to the help, section 4.b

Code: Select all

[packerplugins]
Lists all configured packer plugins (see configuration - packer)

bz2=27,c:\totalcmd\bzip2dll.dll Plugin for bzip2 packer. 27 is the sum of all DLL capabilities:
1: Can create new archives
2: Can modify existing archives
4: Can handle multiple files in one archive
8: Can delete files from archive
16: Supports the options dialog
32: Supports packing in memory
64: Detects archive type by content
128: Allows searching for text in archives
256: Don't open with Enter, only with Ctrl+PgDn
512: Supports encryption

TC sees the former as follows:

• Don't open with Enter
• Detect archive type by content
• Can handle multiple files in one archive

As soon as a single archive type in section [PackerPlugins] contains the flag 64 for the same plugin, the plugin will detect all archives by content, not just the one listed.

So, all you need to do is subtract 64 from each number (Total7zip plugin only) and it will work as you want. The easy way is to use TC Plugins Manager to set the flags via a GUI.


NB:
All of this would be much easier if TC already had a proper plugins manager.

Thank you, that was exactly was I looking for!
