@aliu if you try to download the exe file directly in the sources array the download site returns you an HTML page not the actual executable so we need to do this workaround

all: I have updated this package to use the 64bit executable on 64bit systems now that the upstream 7zip package is able to extract it. If you have problems please report them and I'll rollback to the 32bit executable even on 64bit systems until we can find a fix

I get a 404 on foobar2000_v1.2.9.zip. Can you please update the source? Thanks.

@deimos: you're right, sorry I didn't see that dynamic link.

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)
