How can i extract files from this game patch?
« on: August 28, 2007, 06:54:39 PM »
Hello, i am having strange problem in patching my Giants Citizen Kabuto to 1.4, it says that game is not installed!!! I played the game before on my computer and using the same CD and it patched ok, but this time its not patching and i am having crashing in game...

The problem is GPatch14.exe is not packed, it has numerous files in it, which i want to extract. "Universal extract" fails to extract files, while i have tried odbg and other disassemblers but i have no idea what they are showing!!! I can learn if someone points me to the right direction to solve my own problem!!!

Here is the result from Online TrID File Identifier:

File size: 2048KB

36.3%   EXE    Win32 EXE PECompact compressed (generic)
32.9%   EXE    Win32 Executable MS Visual C++ (generic)
11.4%   SCR    Windows Screen Saver
9.2%   EXE    Win32 Executable Generic
6.6%   DLL    Win32 Dynamic Link Library (generic)
1.7%   EXE    Generic Win/DOS Executable
1.7%   EXE    DOS Executable Generic
0.0%   CEL    Autodesk FLIC Image File (extensions: flc, fli, cel)

I have tried to unpack it with Peid using its generic unpacker and then running Universal extractor but still to no avail. Also i have tried cmdtotal with IEtotal.wcx and InstExpl.wcx plugins but still the file is not being extracted.

What should i do or what i am doing wrong? Thanks for any help.
