The demo version doesn't generate a fixed file. How can I know whether it can repair my file successfully?

   

Although the demo version doesn't generate a fixed file, it can repair your file and show all the recoverable items in a report so you'll be sure that ACR works on your file before ordering the full version. To do this, please just repair your file normally in "Repair" tab. If it can be repaired successfully, you will see a messagebox after the reparation, where you can click the "Show Reparation Report" button and see the detailed reports containing all the recoverable items in your CAB file. Then you can order the full version of ACR to get the actually fixed file.

I still cannot extract a CAB file after it is fixed by ACR, why?

   

If CAB data are corrupted partially, different applications, such as ACR and WinZip may possibly use slightly different algorithms to extract the corrupted data. So if items in a CAB file are partially corrupted, it is better to extract the fixed CAB file with ACR again. To do this, please:

  Arrow Input your corrupted file name to 'Select CAB file to be repaired' edit box.
  Arrow

Input a filename with '.exe' extension to the 'Output fixed file as' edit box.

  Arrow

Click "Start Repair", ACR will repair the corrupted CAB file and generate a new self-extracting CAB file for it.

  Arrow

Run the self-extracting CAB file and extract the files in it.

For example, you want to repair a file named MyFiles.cab, then if you specify the "Output fixed file as" with an '.exe' extension, for example, MyFiles_fixed.exe, ACR will repair the CAB file and generate a self-extracting CAB file named MyFiles_fixed.exe. This self-extracting CAB file uses the same decompression engine as ACR, so you can extract the partially corrupted items by executing it.
