I'm coming across more and more Inno setups that UE is unable to unpack, such as;

perfectuninstaller.com/PerfectUninstaller_Setup.exe

The error data from UE is;

Update the innounp.exe inside the UniExtract\bin\ directory with the one in this file:
http://innounp.sf.net/test020.rar

Worked flawlessly, thank you

This is a common question, so I"m setting this as a sticky. If you are unable to extract current Inno Setup installers, this should be the first thing to try. However, check here first for an official update:
http://innounp.sourceforge.net/

If there is no official update (0.19 is the current stable version at the time of this post), then go ahead and download the latest test version that mushu13 referenced.

Thanks for the link to the beta!

I just thought I might add, even with the latest innounp the current release of uni extract will fail on certain versions of Inno (ex. v5.1.5). This has nothing to do with innounp itself, which can upack the files fine, but with peid's definition files. I attempted to add custom OEP sigs for newer versions but for some reason peid won't pick them up while in use by peid.

I don't know what you've done in new unreleased version but if I remember correctly finding an alternative to using peid was on your todo list. If not, maybe a modded version of peid is in order that will pick up the custom def files (I could be doing something wrong as well) as well as not overwrite settings in registry. I have two copies of peid, one with a batch of plugins and such and then one being used by uni extract. I think I posted a modded version of peid to prevent it from writing to registry its own settings so as to not mess up my standalone version.

edit:
Thought I would add an example. Scanning this installer with peid stock def files you get "Borland Delphi 2.0 [Overlay]" but if I do an "External scan" it picks up the definitions I made and correctly identifies it as "Inno Setup Module v5 [Overlay] *". So when uni extract scans this file it sees it as a delphi file and rejects it.

The number of packages using InnoSetup > 5.2 is ever increasing, and there are no new betas of InnoUnp. Any solution/suggestion?

At the moment, there is not much we can do but hope for an updated innounp.

We will have to keep an eye on the innounp forum.

EDIT: The test version does work on IS 5.2.2 files, but not on IS 5.2.3 yet.

I also have some problems with inno unpacking
Few times UE 1.6 recognized inno installer as "probably ZIP archive" and unpacking failed with UE 1.6. The same installer in UE 1.5 was recognized as inno and unpacked without problems.
Also I tried to unpack this....

Process started fine, but about the half of unpacking i heard my PC beep at each file that was extracted. The same is happening in UE 1.6 and 1.5. After unpacking some files have got terrible names (they look like strings of random characters)

Thank you in advance for checking this

I really appreciate using UE everyday. It saves my system from unwanted trash left here and there after every install

The long awaited new version of InnoUnp appeared, same url as above:

Thx. Great news.

A new stable version of Innounp has finally been released, and supposedly supports up to Inno Setup 5.2.3. Try replacing the innounp.exe binary with the new version available from http://innounp.sourceforge.net/.

Note: I have not tried this myself. Please post back whether or not it works so others can benefit as well.

Innounp v0.20 is is confirmed working with isetup-5.2.3.exe (Inno Setup Installer, packed with 5.2.3)

If it makes any difference, it is UniExtract 1.5 and 1.6b compatible. (Duh)

UE identifies Innos as Zip Archive because TrID says so.

worked on http://www.msfn.org/board/redirect.php?url...ecoverSetup.exe so i can confirm it works

what would be really sweet is if universal extractor could self update, as in being smart enough to know when there is a new version of an internal tool used and ask the user if they wish to update and download the new build and then extract automatically...

After updating innounp.exe, I tried using UE to extract Win32 OpenSSL v0.9.8i. The extraction process seems to work well. The 6.73MB installer yielded 180 files contained in 15 folders, totaling 28.7MB. Near the end of the extraction, I got this error message:

As far as I can tell, the extraction was successful, so why am I getting this?

I agree that it would be a very nice feature. However, aside from the amount of time it'd take to properly implement and test, I'm reluctant to do this because it can potentially break support for certain filetypes. For example, if a new version of innounp was released that required an additional argument, that new argument has to be hardcoded into UniExtract. Otherwise, UniExtract could no longer open Inno Setup installers, because it wouldn't know how to properly call innounp to do the job.


It looks like you're running this under Windows 9x. I had to throw some ugly hacks in there to make it semi-functional under that OS, but, really, it was never that reliable to begin with. You just hit one of the bugs that I was never able to fully work out. Unfortunately, there isn't really anything that you can do about it.

Thanks. That explains it. I guess I could install it on my 2K box. Might give me a reason to use it once in a while.
