Inno Setup is a popular program for making software installations. To verify and get files out of the self-extracting executable, these open source console applications are available:
- Original version Innounp (can be used up to InnoSetup 6.1)
- Updated Unicode version Innounp-1 (can be used up to InnoSetup 6.3)
InnoUnpacker is a graphical user interface (GUI) for these console applications that makes the usage more comfortable. The executable setup to be processed can be loaded via a file selection dialog, just by drag & drop, using the command line or by an entry in the Windows context menu for exe files. Immediately after opening, the basic file info of the setup is displayed. All other functions are activated by clicking on one of the buttons:
- General information about the setup
- A list of all included files
- All supported languages
- Verify setup file
- Start file extraction
- Select destination directory for extracted files
Optionally, you can specify whether only the installation script or the files matching a filter are to be extracted. button is provided to only select the install script.
Note on execution as portable program: The program settings are normally stored in the InnoUnpack.ini file in the user's Application data folder. If the program is started from a device connected via USB, the folder of the executable file of the program is used instead. The same applies if the program is started with the command line option "/p".
