OA:un-pbo tool not working

Recommended Posts

indeed, Cpbo doesn't work anymore, but pboview seems to be working again.

Edit: I spoke too soon, pboview doesn't seem to work either. Anyone got any news on this?

The news is to reread this thread and numerous people have answered how to get cpbo working just fine.

@Decap, would the fix be removing the cpbo keys and reinstalling cpbo? if so that doesn't see to work any more after the last patch. Could be im not doing it right do.

It seems i was doing it wrong then.

Hey everyone, I downloaded Kegetys cPbo tool kit, but I can't seem to figure it out, I ran the .exe and tried to extract Warfare2.pbo and got nothing, the command prompt popped up then disappeared. Also for the life of me can't figure out the Folder/registry part. I would greatly appreciate the help, thanks much!

TIP: Run command line applications from the command line, life is not all about clicking. ;)

indeed, Cpbo doesn't work anymore...

See above.

The fix is removing the OA PBO registry entries and letting CPBO overwrite them.

yeah, oktane made a reg edit file that will remove the arma2 pbo association, allow cpbo to work again.

Or you could run it from a command line, it works prefectly and requires no association with PBO files to be added.

I already said what registry entries you need to delete in order to get cpbo working. If you do it or not, then that's your own decision to make, but it was you who wanted a step by step way to do it, i was pointing you to it

hey wally i got it working mate

just take your time i made the mistake of not searching properly there s quiet few entries for .pbo just keep doin find search till got them all and delete the whole folder then follow this

you have to get rid of the current associations for .pbo (DOTPBO) in the registry - there will probably be two...

run a regedit search for .pbo - delete the entries you find - reboot...

right click Cpbo (run as admin) - say yes to the "associate with pbo files" offer

reboot again (important)

Then - doubleclicking a .pbo should extract it to a folder of the same name at the same location - right clicking any folder gives you the "make pbo" option... fast and easy - a personal weapon of choice...

quoted from bushlurker in another thread

make sure check here too

cpbo creates its shell integration using the following

registry keys:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.pbo\DefaultIcon

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.pbo\shell\Extract all

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.pbo\shell\Extract PBO...

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\create PBO\

you can remove these keys with regedit to remove the explorer

integration

good luck :)
