If you're seeing 'decompress is not recognized ..." error, this means that you're starting decompress from a wrong directory.
Put it to C:\1. Then start cmd.exe. Execute command "cd C:\1", your current directory will be changed to that one where "decompress.exe" extracted. Then you may execute "decompress.exe" command, and cmd.exe will find it.

I think alternatively you may open a directory with extracted rar archive in Explorer, then drag and drop upk file to decompress.exe.

Also you may create batch file with this contents:
Code:
decompress.exe %*
pause

then drag and drop upk files to this batch file. Then you'll see console window, and it won't be closed immediately when operation finished or failed.

(I'm going to sleep now, so don't expect new responses soon Smiley)

I think you didn't follow my instructions about putting decompress.exe to C:\1 (or different directory) and doing "CD" command after that.
Regarding batch file with "%*" inside - you should drag upk file onto it from Windows Explorer, and do not run it from the command line. And this approach should worn without copying files into C:\Windows\System32.

Damn, you're fighting with absolutely basic command line issues!

Yes, I know this message. It is displayed when nothing was passed to decompress.exe from the command line. If you will drag and drop upk to this batch, a different message should appear.
I've just tried to create batch by myself, and found the following batch more useful:
Code:
cd %~dp0
decompress.exe %*
pause

It allows to decompress upk files which aren't in the same directory as "decompress.exe". Also, "unpacked" directory will be created at the same place where "decompress.exe" exists.

No idea. You're definitely doing something wrong. If you could record a video probably I could see what exactly.

UModel has support for "Undying" textures. What's wrong?

I watched the video. You didn't do anything I asked you about!

Okay, step-by-step instructions based on your video. You've created a batch file with 'cd' instruction, named it 'bob.bat' and placed into rar file (why??). Extract this batch to C:\1. Extract UC_....upk to the same directory. Now open C:\1 in Explorer, drag EXTRACTED upk file to EXTRACTED bob.bat file. That's all.

UModel (and most of other apps) can't work from inside the archive, and it can't open archived files. You did a nonsense in your video, sorry.

No idea what you are asking about. Decompressed file is also upk, and it should work "as is".
