Unpacking .tar.gz archives under windows

This software is based on TarTool (see http://tartool.codeplex.com/).

Installation

  1. Unzip this package somewhere e.g in c:\
  2. Create a shortcut to the batch script unTarGz.bat . To create the shortcut this right click on the batch file and select copy. Next right-click on your desktop and select "paste as shortcut".
    Note: it has to be a shortcut (paste as shortcut). Just copy/paste will not work!!

Usage

Using the file-manger ("Computer") drag and drop a tar.gz file that you would like to unpack onto the shortcut on your desktop. The unpacked tar.gz files will be created in the same directory where the tar.gz that you dragged and dropped was located.
