Can't srr rebuild anything

Ben Dover (guest) 17 Sep 2015 16:20

Hello, I have downloaded pyrescene 0.6 beta1 w32.
Also I have downloaded the WinRAR pack from Mediafire and downloaded all additional WinRAR x86 releases from the Rarlab ftp.

After this I unpacked both and ran: "preprardir -b rar1 rar2" to unpack all the winrar versions (also betas). I've got every winrar x86 from 2.00 up until 5.30 beta 4.

I tried using "srr -z rar2 release.srr" with several releases, but none of them worked.
Releases from yesterday, and a few months back. All output I got was "trying xxxx-xx-xx version" loads of times and it crashed at the end.

Trying 1997-03-12 2.01.
Exception in thread Thread-776:

- If I try less winrar versions, say only the first 4 it gives me this:

Grabbing large enough data piece size for testing.
Trying 2015-07-30 5.30.
Trying 2015-08-23 5.30.
Trying 2015-09-10 5.30.
Trying 2015-09-13 5.30.
Grabbing large enough data piece size for testing.
Trying 2015-07-30 5.30.

and then it hangs until I end the process.

Are all the WinRAR x86 versions enough to rebuild every release? Because if I put winrar-x64 versions in the preprardir directory as well it doesnt rename properly, so maybe those files are the same.
Are there differences between all the x64, x86, osx, linux, etc versions of rar that could give problems trying to rebuild an archive?

Am I doing something else wrong?

Thanks for helping me! :)

That first error I haven't seen yet.
I think all winrar-x64 versions behave the same as the 32 bit versions. How does the rename go wrong exactly?
I don't think there are any differences between versions, but it could be possible. There are still known bugs within srr itself where it goes wrong. So no, you are probably not doing anything wrong :)

It's a good idea to move out the very old releases from your folder. They could have their own issues.

Well the rename doesn't go wrong if that's supposed to be how it works. :)
Just now found a release that did work to rebuild, so I know I'm doing it right.
