# PBO Manager
A tool to open, pack and unpack ArmA PBO files.
## Key features
- Can pack/unpack PBO files.
- Can preview files inside a PBO.
- Can open mangled (by Mikero's tools) PBO.
- Integrates with Windows Explorer / immersive menu.
- Supports PBO metadata provisioning through [pbo.json](doc/pbo_json.md) or [\$PBOPREFIX\$](doc/prefix_files.md) files.
## Screenshots
### Context menu integration
### Windows 11 immersive menu integration
## Installation
:small_blue_diamond: The application requires [Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2015-2019](https://aka.ms/vs/16/release/vc_redist.x64.exe) to run. Othervise, the application will complain regarding the `vcruntime140.dll`.
### Windows 10
#### Installer
1. Download the `installer` from the [Releases](https://github.com/winseros/pboman3/releases) section.
2. Run the `installer`.
#### Manual instllation
1. Download the `binaries` from the [Releases](https://github.com/winseros/pboman3/releases) section.
2. Run the `pbom.exe`
3. Optionally, to get the Windows Explorer integration, register the `dll`:
```
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\regsvr32.exe C:\Where\The\App\Is\pboe.dll
```
To unregister the `dll` later, use:
```
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\regsvr32.exe /u C:\Where\The\App\Is\pboe.dll
```
Normally no admin permissions should be required for the registration.
## Windows 11
The [Windows 10](#windows-10) installation instructions are still valid for Windows 11, although the MSIX package is the suggested method of installation. The Windows 11 immersive menu integration won't function otherwise. :pushpin:
