Hi there. This program runs well but development stalled in 2010 and therefore, although it runs, it fails to cope with the majority of installers released since then, thus limiting its usefulness.

A development fork of a portable version of Universal Extractor has been carried out since the last official version: http://www.lupopensuite.com/db/universalextractor.htm, the latest version 1.61 Revision 10 having been released in November 2015. This version is able to cope far better with installer changes since 2010, but to date I can't get it working in Wine (it stalls during execution).

If somehow PlayOnLinux could support the forked development then I believe it would prove to be a more worthwhile software product to have under its wings.
