InnoUnpacker - a GUI for extract Inno Setup installers

[rbon]

InnoUnpacker is a graphical user interface (GUI) for these console applications:
• Original version Innounp http://sourceforge.net/projects/innounp (can be used up to InnoSetup 6.1)
• Updated Unicode version Innounp-1 (Console version) https://github.com/jrathlev/InnoUnpacke ... /innounp-1 (can be used up to InnoSetup 6.3)
and it perform the extraction of Inno Setup installers up to v6.3.3.
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.

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 (%AppData%).
If the program is started from a device connected via USB, the folder of the executable file of the program is used instead (working folder).
The same applies if the program is started with the command line option "/p", if you start the program from your hard disk.

Launcher yaP:
I have create a yaP launcher for InnoUnpacker v2.0

yaP launcher:
--> this launcher start with 'english' language', but you can easy change it.

Great work, rbon.

Minor note to point out that the first line of your 'InnoUnpackerPortable.ini' should more correctly be:

Code: Select all

; configuration file for yaP v0.7.1.5 (http://yap.rolandtoth.hu/)

Unfortunately and for lack of updates, yaP has been populating its INIs with a dead home URL (namely http://rolandtoth.hu/yaP/) for ages...

Great work, rbon.

You're right, it was a bit of distraction.

    - -i command displays registry changes made by an installation.
