Get GUID from setup.exe

Is there a way to get the GUID from the setup.exe, or a way to unpack the installer to see the GUID for the Uninstall registry path?

e.g.: SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{AB123A12-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}_is1

Thought maybe this would appear in the FAQ, but don't see it.

Thanks

There's no GUID in setup – the Uninstall registry path is constructed from AppID, which is set in your script.

Sorry, let me rephrase: Is there a way to get the AppID without
installing the app?

Nothing built-in, but you can use InnoUnp to get the script.
