Worked a charm. Took 2 minutes to install and run. Thanks.

Hi all.

Check out Luigi Auriemma's version of uif2iso (also at freshmeat).

It worked a charm with all uif images I've tested so far, including the test image posted by jong357 at http://jaguarlinux.com/pub/sandbox/test.uif

Cool. Thanks for posting. It does indeed work.

Not for me. I get this when I try to convert .uif to .iso:

"The file format is invalid or unsupported."


There's no specific version number on the help display, but it's dated 2007:

PowerISO Copyright(C) 2004-2007 PowerISO Computing, Inc
Type poweriso -? for help


According to its help, it appears to only support:

-ot <iso|daa|bin> Specify output image file type. If not specified,
the image type will be determined by file name suffix.


Any other ideas for .uif? Any suggestions would be appreciated. wine isn't really an option I'd prefer.

Nevermind...found "uif2iso" here:

http://aluigi.altervista.org/mytoolz.htm#linux

Compiled and it works fine.

This uif file was 3.3Gb:

- open /brain/Data/Archive/Windows/Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Professional Edition + CD Key/Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Professional Edition.uif
- create vs2008.iso
an error here means that your exe has no full LARGE_FILES 64 bit support!

Error: Invalid argument

That may be because of the spaces and/or the backslashes in the file name. Try cd'ing directly into the folder where the file is located and running uif2iso from there:

Still didn't seem to work...

Also renamed the file as well as using a link, but same result

Definitely something to do with running on Linux.

This is the same file via samba share running uif2iso on Windows:

Try this and then recompile:

Also, for future reference, change the uif filename to something ficticious. Many people don't condone the piracy of software and often times will result in a thread getting locked or deleted.... It's just bad form to advertise that kinda stuff....

That did the trick.

It also did it in about 10% of the time too.

I looked at the code.

It seems you are applying the MinGW settings which would make sense.

I changed the line to:

Which also worked so that might be a good solution.

Point taken re the filename :-)
