innoextract is a command-line tool that extracts files from installers created by Inno Setup, without running the installer under Windows or Wine. It supports Inno Setup 1.2.10 through 6.3.3, including modified variants like GOG.com game installers, and is written in C++ with Boost and liblzma dependencies.

Use cases

  • extract inno setup installer on linux
  • unpack gog game installer without wine
  • list contents of a setup.exe
  • verify checksums of installer files

When to choose
