Unlocker Portable 1.0.0.9 [Launcher Only]

I think there should be a way to include 7z in the package then use the commandline interface with exec to extract it. Then use gnuwget to download it, then clean everything up. Or at least it should work...
Anyway, great app :).

show up on my context menu. But I'll try again at home. These PCs aren't set up according to standards (the university has things set up differently).

What does unlocker do?

Can this be put in PAF.EXE format as practilcly every app and some launchers have been?

you need 2 dev test dont you

Not related to Unlocker Portable, but related to the discussion about naming...John had also said that launcher-only packages should not be marked as Dev Test

The launcher isn't in PAF format. In the root of the app, there are 2 folders. App, and source. It should be App, data, and other. This is actually the ONLY app OR launcher I have seen that does not follow this format, even the old, but not obsolete, Project 64 launcher follows it.

I put all the files in but it did not work for me.

Wraithdu: Trying for the first time after following your instructions above for installing 1.0.0.7. Opened a file with SciTE, so it should be in-use/locked. Went to Windows Explorer, navigated to the file, highlighted it, pressed the delete key and a dialogue appeared as though I had held the shift key down, i.e. it wasn't going to the recycle bin. Pressing yes caused the file to be really deleted. So somehow Unlocker had removed the lock AND cleared the go-to-recycle-bin flag (wherever it is)!

Tried again with another file, this time opend with notepad. Right clicked file in explorer, selected the Unlocker entry in the menu, and it said "No locking handle found" which can't be right as Notepad has it open?

Not sure I undestand what's going on (or how to reinstate the delete to recycle bin default action)

One question. Why does the version number in the topic say 1.0.0.7 if Unlocker is at 1.8.6?

The download link does not work

Edit: does work now for somereason, thank you for the nice app

I may have found a bug with this. I had this program installed to my hard drive to unlock a file, I found it very useful so I decided to copy it to my flash drive and delete it from my system. The problem is that UnlockerCOM.dll cannot be deleted and there is no way to unlock it. What should I do to get rid of this file?

Here's the files I got..

Unlocker.exe
UnlockerAssistant.exe
UnlockerDriver5.sys
UnlockerHook.dll
README.TXT

UnlockerCOM.dll seems to have been removed, any chance this launcher will be updated to reflect the changes?

Hi,

I don't know why, but if I launch the App once, it works. Then if, for any reason, I move the directory to another folder (or let say I just change the drive letter), the laucnher won't work any more until I kill and relaunch explorer.

Seems to be some uncleared variables.

Regards

First of all: Great launcher, works nice! But I just checked the MD5 (*after* installing, stupid me), and it is different from what you entered above. Is it because of updating the launcher without re-checking the MD5? I sure hope so ...

Thanks,
Mex

Just checking if this is likely to be updated to 1.8.8?

Thanks for the launcher

Since the user just has to download a zip file and unzip it to the app directory, why not make this an online installer to automate the process?

Great work, but I'd like to suggest implementing this as a drop target like EraserDrop

I envisage the following ...
* run from the portable apps menu, the drop target appears
* drag 'n' drop the "locked" file/folder to the drop target
* unlocker opens showing dialog with options (default behaviour if run from cmd line)
* unlocker does its job then exits closing drop target

There is also a download for Unlocker 1.8.8 portable on one of the sites listed in the description:

http://ccollomb.free.fr/unlocker/#download

It's not in PAF, but it's worth a look.

I don't want to be that "There is a new version" guy, but, there is a new version. I just threw that out here because, a) I wasn't sure if this was still being developed, and b) the new versions supports Win64. If, as is often the case, the developer gets a notification, my apologies.

So no updates ? no way to fix my problems?

It would be nice if this launcher could support setting a local language. There is no need for supplemental files, all languages are already packed into the executable. Unlocker selects the runtime language to match its installer language code, which the installed version saves as registry value SZ "HKLM\software\microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Unlocker" "Language" "10xx" where xx is the country language code. This entry is looked up only when the program starts, so the portable launcher could add it to the registry, start Unlocker, and immediately remove it after Unlocker has started. I tested this with Unlocker 1.0.0.9.

My AVG went nuts with the launcher telling me that it is a Trojan and here is a report from Virus Total and from Jotti These scan ware made some time ago.

when I run it. it puts a icon in my taskbar, and thats it. It gives me no right click context menu options. Nothing at all.

Hello Wraithdu...

Just wondering if you've tried your launcher with Unlocker 64-bit?
I don't know how you are handling the launch internally - and since the 64-bit version has a different driver, file names, etc. - didn't know if your launcher would work for it.

Thanks,
Grant

P.S. - I didn't want to launch something that might blow up on my system. That's why I'm asking first...

I finally got your Launcher to work on XP home.

I'd like to request some features on your next release,or perhaps you could tell me how I can modify my installation? Perhaps I can simply make a simple settings.ini ?

1) Id like for there to be a setting to auto start the unlocker when windows starts

2) Id also like an automatic online update check which sees if theres on on the official page
