Hello,

while testing old stuff, I noticed some installers require "extrac32.exe"
utility present in system32.

An example is the M$ Java VM prerequisite installer "msjavx86.exe" from 
M$ Visual C++ 6.0 and Embedded Visual C++ 4.x.

Due to missing extrac32.exe:

Bug 12852 was initially about this problem but that app no longer ships with
this dependency and the issue went out of focus.
Therefore I create a separate bug for this "extrac32.exe" tool.

A wine-devel thread talked about this tool some time ago:

http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2007-July/057886.html

It looks like the Ethersoft guys went their own route ...
A google search didn't really come up with useful info.

Although it says the tool is "part of Internet Explorer" all installers will
detect IE already installed in WINEPREFIX and do not attempt to install any
earlier version (like IE4).
Hence Extrac32.exe will never be installed as prerequisite.

Extrac32 is the win32 gui version of the console "extract" utility from
Microsoft Cabinet Software Development Kit. 

--- snip ---
EXTRACT [/Y] [/A] [/D | /E] [/L dir] cabinet [filename ...]
EXTRACT [/Y] source [newname]
EXTRACT [/Y] /C source destination

  cabinet  - Cabinet file (contains two or more files).
  filename - Name of the file to extract from the cabinet.
             Wild cards and multiple filenames (separated by
             blanks) may be used.

  source   - Compressed file (a cabinet with only one file).
  newname  - New filename to give the extracted file.
             If not supplied, the original name is used.

  /A         Process ALL cabinets.  Follows cabinet chain
             starting in first cabinet mentioned.
  /C         Copy source file to destination (to copy from DMF disks).
  /D         Display cabinet directory (use with filename to avoid extract).
  /E         Extract (use instead of *.* to extract all files).
  /L dir     Location to place extracted files (default is current directory).
  /Y         Do not prompt before overwriting an existing file.
--- snip ---

Maybe another attempt can be made by someone to get this tool in to fix older
installers.

Regards
