The zip source from freecodecs.net just contains the windows installer. I have not changed to a foobar2000.org link, because I am not sure what the best practice is for handling uniquely generated links.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wine_PKGBUILD_Guidelines It is much easier to work with compressed files like .zip than with Windows installers. If you have no choice, since the author insists on distributing its program with an installer...

Reading this https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wine_PKGBUILD_Guidelines makes me think I should be able to maintain pacman functionality.

> Lsar/unar appears to result in similar garbage data, No, it doesn't! If you use: unar -q -e windows-1252 foo...exe, unar gives an unknown error ( http://code.google.com/p/theunarchiver/issues/detail?id=678 ) with no data loss or corruption. Using the silent install option '/S' looks easy - but you loose pacman functionality, eg. -Q..., or 'which file belongs to what package', or indeed, 'which file is not owned by any package' scenarios.

The latest version is now 1.2.9, should udpate. Maybe it would be better to get foobar from its official website and use the lsar/unar command for the exe (as rtfeedman suggested)

># Extract foobar (7z x gives garbage) You can use unarchiver for extracting. eg lsar/unar -t -e windows-1252 foobar2000_v1.2.8.exe
