How to run unarc.dll FreeArcExtract function Async

[Yourname]

Hello GUYS!

I'm experimenting with unarc.dll in vb.net via winforms. I created a class that helps me with extracting and showing the progress of extraction, and it works fantastically! BUT, it blocks the UI main thread. I wanted to run it asynchronously. I tried using Task.run, Background Workers or another windows, but nothing worked. When I try using them, the extraction doesn't proceed, and it feels like it is stuck, and i have to terminate the program with the task manager! I wanted to ask, does the .dll block me from doing this? is it because it's a 32-bit dll? (i don't think tho) and is there a method to run it in another thread? Thanks!


P.S. I know i can just call arc.exe as a process, but i want to incorporate it, without using external exes.
