Hello everyone,

I decided to open this topic to show the Inno Setup community my project that I've been working on for many years, and also in case you find it useful, called InnoExtractor, a powerful unpacker and forensic app for Inno Setup-based installers. It allows you to open, examine, inspect, extract and more the files and internal content of installers (also known as "setups"), without having to start/run the installation wizard.

Key features:

  • Simple and easy-to-use user interface.
  • Support installers compiled with Inno Setup from 1.3.21 to 6.7.1.
  • Open installers by simply drag and drop the executables from file explorer into app window.
  • Search and discover installers in your entire hard drive using the built-in scan engine.
  • Explore and inspect internal content (files and more) of the installer.
  • Use VirusTotal technology to quickly scan and detect viruses and other threats inside the installer.
  • Run standalone files of the installer within the same app without starting the installation wizard.
  • Extract the internal files of installer to a local folder using drag and drop, to a ZIP compressed format or to an SFX module.
  • Export full Script (source code) of installer to a Inno Setup ISS file.
  • Export "Registry" section of the script to a standard Registry file format.
  • Export "INI" section of the script to a standard INI file format.
  • Save the installer icon in all sizes.
  • Decompile the "Code" (RemObjects Pascal pre-compiled Source) section of the script to a readable pseudo-Assembly file.
  • Simulates the real installation paths where files will be copied to your hard drive.
  • See advanced information of installer in Properties panel.
  • Perform file searches by keyword.
  • Integrated Script/Registry/INI file viewer and editor.
  • Integrated History Manager that shows recently opened installers.
  • Identify password protected files, if any, inside the installer (with an already known password).
  • Multilanguage interface, including in English, Spanish, Arabic, Azerbaijani, Bulgarian, Chinese, Czech, Danish, Dutch, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Turkish and Ukrainian.
  • Full Unicode support.
  • Available in two editions: Free and Plus.

System requirements:

  • Windows 11, 10, 8.1, 8, 7, Vista and XP.
  • Inno Setup-based installers.
Changelog (v11.4.0.166 -  February 3, 2026 )
