Geared toward all user levels, InnoExtractor is an advanced and approachable application that gives you the possibility to extract resource files from Inno Setup installers.This way, it's not necessary to unpack everything only to get your hands on specific files. Otherwise, you can find out the exact items that will be copied on your computer at a program's installation. It's also useful for scenarios when you don't have the required admin privileges for installing a tool.

Extract files from Inno Setup packs

It's wrapped in a user-friendly interface made from a normal window with a neatly structured layout, where you can drop an .exe to preview all internal files. Alternatively, you can instruct the tool to auto-scan a folder for all Inno Setup packs.You can check out the name, size, timestamp, full path and containing folder of each file, as well as extract one or more selected objects to a custom location on the disk. Apart from extracting their files with their original format, you can compress them into ZIP archives or self-extracting modules (SFX).

Launch files, view scripts, and run VirusTotal checkups

InnoExtractor's functionality doesn't end here, though. For example, it enables you to launch files with their associated program without extracting them first. It also has built-in text viewer with associated file extensions that can be customized, a script viewer with syntax highlighting support, basic search function with case matching, along with an engine that automatically checks files for malware using VirusTotal.Furthermore, you can extract the setup file's icon, identify and decrypt password-protected installers, view a list with decompiled code and save it to file, clear cache, run files with folder dependencies, as well as integrate the program into the Windows Explorer right-click menu for quick access.
