EnhancedExtract 0.1.2
What's new in 0.1.2
- Fix: "Open EnhancedExtract now" no longer hangs setup. In 0.1.1, clicking Finish with that box ticked could leave the installer stuck on the Finish page without opening the app. The installation itself was complete. Setup now closes and opens the app.
If you installed 0.1.1, the app itself works the same; run the 0.1.2 installer to update.
What's new in 0.1.1
- New installer look. Setup now uses the EnhancedExtract theme: dark pages, the brand fonts and logo, and the app icon on the installer and uninstaller.
- Install options page. Choose the folder, whether to add the Explorer right-click menu, and whether to make a desktop shortcut. Setup says upfront that the shortcuts start the app as administrator, which ISO installs need.
- Desktop shortcut fix. The desktop shortcut now starts the app as administrator, like the Start menu shortcut. In 0.1.0 it did not.
- Live ISO mount check. The ISO set-up screen shows whether Windows has the ISO mounted (new
iso statusCLI command). - Settings > Apps now lists the publisher and links to this repository.
Upgrading from 0.1.0: run the new installer and choose Remove the old version first or Install over it. Your archives and extracted files are not touched.
About EnhancedExtract
Windows archive extraction for tight disk space, with a desktop dashboard, Explorer integration and a standalone CLI.
The desktop app uses Tauri and Rust, with a React interface and a bundled Python engine.
- Extract ZIP, 7z, TAR, GZ, BZ2, XZ, ZST, CAB, WIM and split archives through bundled 7-Zip.
- Verify multipart RAR sets, estimate space, and resume safe deletion from the parts left.
- Extract compressed TAR files directly without writing an intermediate TAR.
- Start extraction from the Library, by dropping an archive, or from the Explorer submenu.
- Follow background jobs after closing the extraction window.
- Use the standalone CLI without installing Python, WinRAR or 7-Zip.
- Install from UDF ISOs with the experimental ISO workflow.

Windows 10/11 x64. The desktop app requires WebView2. Archive extraction needs no administrator rights. ISO installation additionally requires WinFsp and administrator rights.
Deletion and resume
Extraction keeps source files unless you choose deletion. For ZIP, 7z, TAR and other non-RAR formats, the archive is deleted only after extraction completes cleanly. These formats require room for the unpacked files and retry from the beginning after a stop.
RAR safe mode retains parts needed by unfinished files and records a resume journal. Solid sets and very large files can still require room for the whole output. RAR early deletion can lose the file being extracted after a stop or crash, and requires a separate confirmation.
ISO space freeing remains experimental. Use disposable data to evaluate source-deletion modes.
Verification and limits
46 Python tests passed through the source CLI and through the packaged engine, with no skips. Eight Rust tests, the TypeScript/Vite build, the engine build and the Windows installer build passed. Tests include real encrypted and multipart archives, corrupt-archive retention, RAR interruption/resume, CAB, WIM and Zstandard, plus ISO mount/read/unmount.
The Windows binaries are unsigned. Windows may display an unknown-publisher or SmartScreen warning. Compare the download with SHA256SUMS.txt before running it.
Windows 11 Explorer entries belong in Show more options. Shell parsing and installer compilation were tested; menu visibility on a fresh Windows installation has not been manually verified for this release. Not every legacy archive format or compression method has a test fixture.
No open-source licence has been selected for EnhancedExtract. The author's rights and bundled third-party licences remain unchanged.
