All Mikero tools 'behave', install, and operate in an identical manner. You are strongly advised to read the General Readme once.

Windows 10+ only
.NET 5.0+ required.
ExtractPboGUI does what its name suggests, it will extract the content of any 'pbo' except encrypted vbs2. (yes, it does extract vbs2lite).
There are, in fact, two separate tools.
- ExtractPbo is a dos-console only application for speed freaks.
- ExtractPboGui is a windows only dialog which contains uses ExtractPbo.
The over-riding philosophy of all MikeroTools (not just this one) is to maintain backward compatibility. To this end, the same 'behaviour' can be expected from files emanating from the very first cwc demo, Resistance, Xbox Elite, Arrowhead, TOH, Arma3, IFA extensions, Vbs2lite. There are nuances to each type which the underlying dll takes care of. They are hidden from the user (and hidden from developers using the dll who only want to 'see' a uniform API). ExtractPboGui utilises over a decade of lessons learned in the dll about things-pbo. Underneath the covers it is exceptionally powerful and above all, robust.
Options available in this gui are intentionally bare minimal. The intent being, 'just extract the damn thing'.
More information on the workings of ExtractPbo can be found on the extractpbo wiki page.

Should speak for itself. The main purpose of this application!
