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:
Help with OOOLLLD Installshield decompiler. I recieved an old (win 95 era) program I have wanted for a long time recently. It won't install, and acts like there was a. Decompiler Installshield Update. The installer itself doesn't provide any method to extract files or the script without installation. It is the developer's choice.
Some Installshield-specific information on setup.exe Handling other setup.exe types Essentially an administrative installation extracts the setup's files from the embedded CAB files in the MSI itself (CABS can also be external) and outputs them in a neat folder structure roughly reflecting their intended target destinations upon install.
InstallShield Program Files FolderProgram0409ISDbg.chm (for the English version of InstallShield) or InstallShield Program Files FolderProgram0411ISDbg.chm (for the Japanese version of InstallShield).
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.
On this page:Usage | How to report bugs | What's new/History | MultiArc settings | Copyrights and licensingIn other places:Download | Forum | Project summary page on SF.net | HomepageBoth 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.
UsageInnounp 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 bugsOK, 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.

Added MultiArc settings for Total Commander (thanks to Gnozal).
Fixed a bug in MultiArc settings that prevented shells from displaying file dates and times (thanks to Maxim Ryazanov).
The reconstructed setup script (.iss) is now included together with the 'normal' files. Using -m option it's possible to view/extract other internal files in the same way.
0.07(2004.03.16)
Decompile Installshield InstallerMultiple files with the same name are not overwritten now, instead they are appended with numbers.
-c command extracts the compiled Innerfuse Pascal Script code to a file. It can then be 'disassembled' with a separate tool. Get one on the download page.
The output of -i command now looks more like .iss script. More data is included.
0.06(2004.03.11)
Added support for IS versions 3.0.0 - 4.0.0.
Supports installations that were not packaged into a single exe using SetupLdr (these can be identified by the presence of setup.0 which is appended to setup.exe in packaged installations).
-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 settingsUnless 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.
FARCopy 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 InstallExplorerIf 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: recommended settingFAR: alternate setting Will not work for IS 5.1.5 and up because new versions no longer have this signature. Total CommanderWill 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.

New option -a to extract all copies of duplicate files.
0.18(2006.11.23)
The reconstructed script now includes the [Types], [CustomMessages], and [Languages] sections.
ROPS disassembler updated to support the latest build of ROPS.
New option -f to read the password from file. This way it can include any special characters.
 Be sure to save the file in the correct character encoding as no translations are applied.
Fixed the bug that caused the file timestamps to be inconsistently reported and applied (UTC vs. local).
Updated the decompression libraries: zlib to version 1.2.3, bzip2 to version 1.03, and LZMA to version 4.43 (optimized for speed).
0.17(2005.08.31)
Supports IS up to version 5.1.5.
Supports Martijn Laan's My Inno Setup Extensions 3.0.6.1 (by request).
The Types parameter is now space-separated, as required by the IS script specification.
0.16(2005.04.30)
Supports IS up to 5.1.2-beta.
Innounp will try to unpack new versions of IS to handle the cases when the binary format is compatible with one of the previous versions. Use -n to disable this attempt.
0.15(2005.03.08)
Supports IS up to 5.1.0-beta.
The old bug that prevented innounp from working properly with {reg:..} constants and the like has got another fix.
Preliminary support for the 64-bit extensions that appeared in IS 5.1.0.
0.14(2004.10.14)
Supports IS up to 5.0.4-beta.
It is now possible to specify the destination directory to extract files into using the -d option. This directory will be created if necessary.
New option -c specifies the current directory inside an installation and prevents the creation of the upper-level directories. MultiArc settings are updated accordingly.
The old -c command is removed. To get the compiled Pascal script, use -m and extract it like a normal file.
0.13(2004.08.26)
Supports IS up to 5.0.3-beta.
Supports the Components and Tasks sections.
0.12(2004.07.28)
Supports IS up to 5.0.0-beta.
Improved processing of big installations with many files.
Innounp now supports a certain level of user interaction - it prompts the user for password and disk changes as necessary. To switch this functionality off (e.g. in batch mode), use the -b option.
If no command is specified, innounp displays a brief summary of the specified installation. The old -i command is removed. To get the setup script, extract it like a normal file.
0.11(2004.05.04)
Supports IS 4.2.2.
Supports ArcFour encryption. Use the -p switch to specify a password if files are encrypted
0.10(2004.04.26)
Fixed (again): filenames containing invalid characters could not be specified on the command line or in a list file.
0.09(2004.04.22)
Fixed (again): invalid characters in filenames (such as ':' and '|') made innounp crash.
Updated TC MultiArc settings.
0.08(2004.04.14)
Added support for IS versions up to 4.2.1.
Added MultiArc settings for Total Commander (thanks to Gnozal).
Fixed a bug in MultiArc settings that prevented shells from displaying file dates and times (thanks to Maxim Ryazanov).
The reconstructed setup script (.iss) is now included together with the 'normal' files. Using -m option it's possible to view/extract other internal files in the same way.
0.07(2004.03.16)
Decompile Installshield InstallerMultiple files with the same name are not overwritten now, instead they are appended with numbers.
-c command extracts the compiled Innerfuse Pascal Script code to a file. It can then be 'disassembled' with a separate tool. Get one on the download page.
The output of -i command now looks more like .iss script. More data is included.
0.06(2004.03.11)
Added support for IS versions 3.0.0 - 4.0.0.
Supports installations that were not packaged into a single exe using SetupLdr (these can be identified by the presence of setup.0 which is appended to setup.exe in packaged installations).
-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 settingsUnless 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.
FARCopy 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 InstallExplorerIf 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: recommended settingFAR: alternate setting Will not work for IS 5.1.5 and up because new versions no longer have this signature. Total CommanderWill 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.

 Some program installations use InstallShield, and the program files are compressed into Data .cab files. But InstallShield decided to be cute, and use their own propriety format with older versions of the Data .cab file. They could have used a standard compression algorithm like .ZIP, but did not.
My guess is that they didn't want people fiddling with the raw files.
That's a bummer for those of us who need to get at the files, such as Application Packagers. I discussed this a little in the InstallShield Temp Directory Trick.
So it's a good thing that CDMediaWorld has utilities, such as i6Comp to extract the files. Just download it (I picked i6comp02.zip) and then run i6comp. This is what i6Comp looks like when listing files from the data.cab file:
C:tempInstallShield>i6comp l -v -r data1.cab
