Decompiler Installshield Installation
InstallShield Decompiler InstallShield 6.x 的腳本編譯後是 setup.inx 而不是 setup.ins 。日本人寫的這個工具可以反編譯.inx ，而且還可以輸出調試符號資訊，這樣可以用 InstallShield 對腳本進行調試。 AutoIt 程式. Exe2aut 反編譯 AutoIt 3.x 的工具. Is there a way to suppress the installation (Installshield) dialog boxes? I created a response file (.iss). When I install with the response file, using 'Setup.exe -s -f1c: myresponsefile.iss', it does the install as I wanted but it still shows the dialog boxes complete with cancel buttons. A Decompiler will follow anyway. Its only a question of time when it will be written so watch out for it,hehe. F) ADD-0ON This part will describe the most common InstallSHIELD Installation. If Setup.exe (InstallSHIELD 2.x) is a 16 Bit executeable, then its called The Installation launcher.

About
Inno Setup is a tool to create installers for Microsoft Windows applications. innoextract allows to extract such installers without running the actual setup executable under Windows or using Wine. innoextract currently supports installers created by Inno Setup 1.2.10 to 6.1.2. (details)

In addition to standard Inno Setup installers, innoextract also supports some modified Inno Setup variants including Martijn Laan's My Inno Setup Extensions 1.3.10 to 3.0.6.1 as well as GOG.com's Inno Setup-based game installers. innoextract is able to unpack Wadjet Eye Games installers (to play with AGS), Arx Fatalis patches (for use with Arx Libertatis) as well as various other Inno Setup executables. See the list of limitations below.
While developed on Linux, innoextract is cross-platform and meant to work with any C++03 to C++17 compiler, architecture and operating system supported by CMake, Boost, liblzma and (optionally) iconv.

Usage
To extract a setup file to the current directory run:
$ innoextract <file>A list of available options can be retrieved using
$ innoextract --helpDocumentation is also available as a man page:
$ man 1 innoextractCompatibility
innoextract cannot guarantee good forward compatibility as the Inno Setup data format changes frequently. The following table lists the supported versions:
| innoextract 1.9or newer | Inno Setup 1.2.10 to 6.1.2 |
| innoextract 1.8 | Inno Setup 1.2.10 to 6.0.5 |
| innoextract 1.7 | Inno Setup 1.2.10* to 5.6.1 |
| innoextract 1.6 | Inno Setup 1.2.10* to 5.5.9 |
| innoextract 1.5 | Inno Setup 1.2.10* to 5.5.6 |
| innoextract 1.3 to 1.4 | Inno Setup 1.2.10* to 5.5.5 |
| innoextract 1.0 to 1.2 | Inno Setup 1.2.10* to 5.4.3 |
innoextract 1.7 and older cannot extract installers created by Inno Setup 1.3.0 to 1.3.23. GOG.com Installers
GOG.com installers with a 2.x.x version number on the download page or in the filename use Inno Setup 5.5.0 and cannot be extracted by innoextract 1.2 and older. Older installers use Inno Setup 5.2.3 and usually have no version in the filename.
Some GOG.com multi-part installers with version 2.1.x or higher use RAR archives (renamed to .bin) to store the game data. These files are not part of the Inno Setup installer. However, innoextract 1.5 or newer can extract them using the --gog option if either unrar or unar is installed.
Other newer GOG.com installers don't include the raw files directly but instead store them in GOG Galaxy format: split into small parts which are then individually compressed. These files are named after their MD5 hash and stored in the tmp directory, for example 'tmp/ab/d7/abd72c0dddc45f2ce6098ce3a286066a'. innoextract 1.7 or newer will automatically re-assemble these parts and extract the original files unless the --no-gog-galaxy option is used.
Some multi-part GOG.com installers use .bin slice files larger than 2 GiB - extracting these requires innoextract 1.8 or newer on 32-bit platforms. Older versions failed with a 'bad chunk magic' error.
Limitations
- There is no support for extracting individual components and limited support for filtering by name.
- Included scripts and checks are not executed.
- The mapping from Inno Setup constants like the application directory to subdirectories is hard-coded.
- Names for data slice/disk files in multi-file installers must follow the standard naming scheme.
Also see the list of planned/requested enhancements on the issue tracker.
Another (Windows-only) tool to extract Inno Setup files is innounp.

innounp, the Inno Setup Unpacker
Version 0.49
Supports Inno Setup versions 2.0.7 through 6.0.2
Inno Setup is a popular program for making software installations. Unfortunately, there is no official unpacker - the only method of getting the files out of the self-extracting executable is to run it. One piece of software that addresses this issue is Sergei Wanin's InstallExplorer, a plug-in for the FAR Manager that unpacks several types of installations, including Inno Setup (IS). But since it is not updated in a timely fashion, and so does not support the latest IS most of the time, this program was born. The advantages over InstallExplorer are:
- Innounp is open source and based on IS source. Therefore, it is more likely to support future IS versions.
- It recovers portions of the installation script (.iss file), including the registry changes and the compiled Innerfuse/RemObjects Pascal Script, if available.
If you want to report a bug, request a feature, or discuss anything else related to the program, please write to the forum.

- In other places:
- Download Forum Project summary page on SF.net Homepage
Both the source and the executable packages are compressed with WinRar. While the full-featured packer is shareware, the UnRar utility that can only extract files is free. And there are lots of free third-party programs that unpack rar just fine, e.g. 7-Zip.
As a bonus, a simple unpacker for Setup Factory installations is available on the download page. It is ripped from the SynCE project.
Usage
Innounp is a console application, and it uses command-line options to find out what to do. For a more human-friendly interface utilizing FAR or Total Commander as a front-end see the MultiArc section below. Windows Explorer fans: nullz has made some .reg scripts to add innounp into the right-click menu and Richard Santaella crafted a graphical wrapper for innounp (get it on the download page).
If an installation has setup.0 (it is made without using SetupLdr), run innounp on setup.0 instead of setup.exe.
To extract all files from a specific directory, use dirname*.*, not just dirname.
By default all files are extracted to the current directory. Use -d to override this behaviour. For example, -dUnpacked will create a directory named Unpacked inside the current directory and put the extracted files there.
The -c option is a little more tricky to explain. Suppose you opened an installation in a file manager and browsed to {app}subdirprogram.exe. Now if you copied program.exe to another location, the entire directory tree ({app}subdir) would be created and program.exe would be extracted there. -c notifies innounp that you are only interested in paths from the current directory and below, so that your file, program.exe, is extracted right where you intended to copy it, not several directory levels deeper. Note that in order to avoid confusion, files must still be specified by their full path names inside the installation.
Note that an installation can contain several identical files (possibly under different names). Inno Setup stores only one copy of such files, and by default innounp will also unpack one file. If you want to have all files that could ever be installed anywhere, regardless of how many identical files this may get you, -a option will do it.
If -m is specified, the file listing includes embeddedCompiledCode.bin which is the code made by the RemObjects Pascal Script compiler. It is possible to disassemble it using the ifps3_disasm.rar package on the download page. The result is not very readable though since it uses the basic 'disassembler' from IFPS3. Anyone wants to write a decompiler?
How to report bugs
OK, I know innounp is far from being perfect, but it is my intention to make the program usable. User feedback is a great way to achieve this. Here's what you should do if you find a bug and want it fixed.
Tell me what's wrong with innounp. If you encountered incorrect behaviour, say what you think it should do and what it actually does. If it crashed or gave an error message, say what did that - innounp, Windows, FAR, etc, and include the details.
Describe the exact steps necessary to reproduce the bug. Say what are the preconditions. Is the bug specific to some system settings? To a setup file you have? (include the problem part of the installation script or a link to the compiled setup, if it is small enough) To an IS version? To something else? Or does the bug occur regardless of these things?
Once you have the bug report ready, post it to the forum. Remember, if I can't reproduce the bug using the description you gave, the chances that it will be fixed fall dramatically.
If the above guidelines were not obvious for you, I suggest that you read the following articles.

- -i command displays registry changes made by an installation.
- Supports (displays and reads from filelists) filenames with national characters (single-byte character encodings only, Unicode/MBCS was not tested). The correct code page must be set in Windows for this function to work properly.
- [fix] File dates and times were not set during extraction.
0.05(2004.03.09)
- Improved batch processing. Now it's possible to browse and extract IS installations in FAR using the supplied settings for the standard MultiArc plug-in.
- Removed isbunzip.dll. Bzip2 library is linked statically.
0.04(2004.02.27)
- Initial release. Supports IS versions 4.0.1 - 4.1.8.
MultiArc settings
Unless you are a die-hard fan of command line, you may like the idea of working with IS installations like with conventional archives in a file manager. Right now two programs support this: FAR and Total Commander. Below are the instructions how to integrate innounp into each.
FAR
Copy innounp.exe to a directory in your PATH and edit your FARPluginsMultiArcFormatsCustom.ini file. There are two alternate settings differing in several aspects and each having its own pros and cons. Try the recommended setting first, if it does not work well for you, try the other setting or even combine them.
Co-operation with InstallExplorer
If you have InstallExplorer installed (or another plug-in that handles IS, but you will need to adjust the settings accordingly), you might want to let it process all the other types of installations but keep IS installations for innounp. FAR does not provide a means of customizing the plug-in call order; however, an empirical study has shown that it loads plug-ins and applies them to files in lexical order. So the solution is to rename InstallExplorer's dll file from 6InstExpl.dll to e.g. zInstExpl.dll (and restart FAR).

FAR: alternate setting
Will not work for IS 5.1.5 and up because new versions no longer have this signature.Total Commander
Will not work for IS 5.1.5 and up because new versions no longer have this signature. I guess the version-specific settings from above have to be cloned.
Configuration made up by Gnozal and Maxwish and posted on TC forum. Change the path below to where you have innounp installed and add this to your MultiArc.ini. Note that MultiArc is not included in the default TC installation, instead it is available as a separate download from Siarzhuk Zharski's web site. Refer to the help file for information on any additional configuration necessary.
